Installation
The range cooktop
overlaps the countertop
at the
sides and the range rests on the floor. The cooktop is
31 1/2" (81 cm)wide.
Install base cabinets 30" (76.2 cm) apart. Make sure
they are plumb and level before attaching cooktop.
Shave raised countertop
edge to clear 31 1/2" (81
cm) wide range top rim.
Install cabinet doors 31 " (78.7 cm) min. apart so it
will not interfere with range door opening.
Slide the range into the cutout opening and center it
before leveling it.
Level the range
(see section 9). The floor where
the range is to be installed must be level. Follow the
instructions
under
"Leveling
the Range- Models
Equipped with Leveling Device".
Adjust
leveling
legs so that the underside
of the
cooktop is sitting on the countertop.
Carefully screw
in (refer to Leveling the range:
Models equipped
with Leveling Device") the back leveling leg until the
cooktop
glass
overhang
touches
slightly
the
countertop.
Then carefully
screw in the front two
leveling
legs
until
the cooktop
glass overhang
touches slightly the countertop.
For models
equipped
with
Leveling
Leg only
(no
leveling
device):
Make sure the four leveling legs (front and rear) are
setup higher than the height of the cabinet (shown
on page 3).
Cutout countertop exactly as shown on page 1.
For models equipped
with
Leveling Device:
Make sure the front
leveling
legs and the rear
leveling device are setup higher than the height of
the cabinet (shown on page 3).
Install
the anti=tip
bracket
at this
point
before
placing
the
range
at its final
position.
Follow the installation instructions on page
12 or on the anti-tip bracket template supplied with
the range.
To provide an optimum
installation,
the top surface
of the countertop
must be level and flat (lie on the
same plane) around the 3 sides that are adjacent to
range cooktop. Proper adjustments to make the top
flat should be made or gaps between the countertop
and the range cooktop may occur.
To reduce the risk of damaging
your
appliance,
do not handle or manipulate
it by the
ceramic glass. Manipulate with care.
Position range in front of the cabinet opening.
Make sure that the cooktop
