3. Range Installation
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
•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 ¾" (1.9 cm)

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.
1.Install base cabinets 30" (76.2cm) apart, and be sure they are plumb and level before attaching to countertop.
2.Cut countertop exactly as shown in Figure 1. Shave raised edge level to clear 31 1/2" (81cm) wide rim on rolled edge styled countertops.
3.Install the wiring junction box in an adjoining cabinet or under the floor (range has 48"/122cm of conduit). Cut
4.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 may occur.

To reduce the risk of damaging your appliance, do not handle or manipulate it by the ceramic glass. Manipulate with care.
6.Move range in front of cabinet opening.
7.Push the electric conduit through the hole and attach it to the junction box. Leave enough slack in the conduit to allow the range to be pulled forward several inches for service if necessary.
8.Oven door is heavy. It is advisable to remove door and eliminate its weight as range is lifted into position. See oven door removal instructions in the Use and Care Guide. NEVER lift the appliance by the control panel doing so may damage the control panel. Lift the range into position on the countertop and make sure the appliance is centered in the cutout opening to be sure that the flanges of the upper side panel are sitting on the countertop to avoid glass breakage.
