Cabinet Construction, Range Installation

30" ELECTRIC SLIDE-IN RANGE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

4. Cabinet Construction
4.1	To eliminate the risk of burns or

fire by reaching over heated surface units, do not have cabinet storage space above the range. If there is cabinet storage space above range, reduce risk by installing a range hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5" (12.7 cm) beyond the bottom of the cabinet.

4.2Countertop 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 7).

•Tile countertops may need trim cut back 3/4"(1.9 cm) from each front corner and/or rounded edge flattened (Figure 7).

•If the existing cutout width is greater than

30 1/16" (76,4 cm), reduce the ¾" (1 . 9 cm) dimension.

•Countertop must be level. Place a level on the countertop, first side to side, then front to back. If the countertop is not level, the range will not be level. The oven must be level for satisfactory baking results. Cooktop sides of range fit over edges of countertop opening

5.Range Installation

Important Note: Door removal is not a requirement for installation of the range, but is an added convenience. Refer to the Use and Care Guide for oven door removal instructions.

Standard Installation

The range cooktop overlaps the countertop at the

1sides and the range rests on the floor. The cooktop is 31½" (80 cm) wide.

Install base cabinets 30" (76.2 cm) apart. Make sure

2they are plumb and level before attaching cooktop. Shave raised countertop edge to clear 31½" (80 cm) wide range top rim.

3Install cabinet doors 31" (78.7 cm) min. apart so as not to interfere with range door opening.

4Cutout countertop exactly as shown on page 1. Make sure the four leveling legs (front and rear) are

5setup 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

6position. Follow the installation instructions at the last page 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

7range 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

8appliance, do not handle or manipulate it by the cooktop. Manipulate with care.

9Position range in front of the cabinet opening.

Make sure that the underside of the cooktop clears

10the countertop. If necessary, raise the unit by lowering the leveling legs.

Level the range (see section 6). The floor where

11the range is to be installed must be level. Follow the instructions under "Leveling the Range".
