WARNING The electrical power to the range must be shut off while line connections are being made. Failure to do so could result in serious injury or death.

Countertop Preparation

• The cooktop sides of the range fit over the cutout edge of your countertop.
• If you have a square finish (flat) countertop, no countertop preparation is required. Cooktop sides lay directly on edge of countertop.
• Formed front-edged countertops must have molded edge shaved flat 3/4" (1.9 cm) from each front corner of opening (Figure 3).
• Tile countertops may need trim cut back 3/4"(1.9 cm) from each front corner and/or rounded edge flattened (Figure 3).
• If the existing cutout width is greater than 30 1/16" (76.4 cm), reduce the 34 " (1.9 cm) dimension.

Figure 3

This range is designed to hang from the countertop. It does not rest on the floor.

Be sure the bottom of any wall cabinets are a minimum of 30" (76.2 cm) above the rangetop area.

To eliminate the hazard or reaching over heated surface units, cabinet storage space located above the surface units should be avoided. If cabinet storage is to be provided, the hazard can be reduced by installing a range hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5" (12.7 cm) beyond the bottom front edge of the cabinets.

Important Note: Door removal is not a requirement for installation of the range, but is an added convenience. The appliance should be placed on a table or the front of the appliance should be raised to be able to fully open the door. Please refer to the Use and Care Guide for oven door removal instructions.
