PREPARING THE COUNTER
If you have an existing 30" wide cutout that goes all the way to the wall you may want to buy a Main Top Filler Kit No, 80279 or a 4" Backguard Kit No. 80509. These will fill in the space between the back of the range and the wall. The kits are available from Sears general catalog and may be or- dered at any Sears catalog outlet or the catalog desk at any Sears Retail Store. If this existing cutout is in a counter that has a backsplash (postformed top) we recommend that you use the 4'*Backguard.
From the illustrations below determine the dimensions of your cutout. Mark the cutout on the counter. Dimensions given are from front of counter, 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.

When the Backguard is used, the front of the counter may require notching as shown in Figures 5 and 6. See back- guard kit instruction before cuffing counter.

If you have a standard 25" countertop and you wish to set the range further back into the counter, you may notch the front of the counter up to a maximum depth of 1/2'"as shown in Figure 6. Cutout should then be 23 3/16" deep from back of notch.
If you have a countertop deeper than 25", such as in an island installation with a countertop of at least 26" and you wish to set the range further back into the counter, you may notch the front of the counter up to 1" deep, but never deeper than to the front of the cabinet face and maintaining at least 24 1/2" from the back of the notch to the inside of the rear wall of the counter. See Fig. 5.

NOTE: If the distance from the back wall to the front of the counter backsplash (Dimension A in Fig. 7) is greater than 1 1/8", there will be a small gap between the wall behind the range and the backguard. This is normal and should not be visually objectionable.

CONTROL PANEL END CAPS
If the frontof the counter is rounded, leave the curved portion on the control panel end caps. For a square counter or a notch, cut this portion off at the groove with pliers or chisel, then file smooth if necessary.
