NOTE: If the countertop is greater than 25",
it will show a gap between the backguard
and wall or between filler kit and the wall.

If you use the filler kit, place the metal filler
piece supplied with the range to the back of
the range as shown in the figure below. Start
the 2 screws into the upper holes at the
outside rear of the range and through the
slots in the trim, holding the filler piece
centered on the maintop frame and pushing
upward to close the gap between the bottom
of the maintop and the filler trim.
When the trim is set in the proper position,
tighten the 2 mounting screws. The top of
the trim should be located below the top surface
of the maintop to prevent pots, pans and skillets
from damaging the painted parts.
Refer to the Standard Installation of the Range
on page 5.
