REMOVING PACKAGING
MATERIAL

cardboard and protective plastic. Failure

PREPARE THE COUNTER

4
If you have an existing 30" wide cutout that
goes all the way to the wall, you have the
option to buy a 4" Backguard, Model
#JXS32XX or a Main Top Rear Filler Kit,
Model #JXS66XX. These kits are available
through your GE dealer, if the existing cutout
is in a counter that has a backsplash (post-
formed top) we recommend that you use the
4" backguard kit.

Determine the dimension of your cutout.
Dimensions given are from front of counter
and not from cabinet face. To minimize
chipping you may want to apply masking
tape to the counter and mark the cut on top
of the tape. Use a hand or saber saw to make
the cut. For best appearance it is important
that the cut be smooth and straight.
If you are NOT using the Filler or Backguard:
If you have a countertop deeper than 25"
and you wish to set the range further back
into the counter, the cutout may be cut
deeper (up to 24-1/2"), but there must be
at least 24-1/2" from the front edge of the
countertop and back wall.
