Range Toe Space Filler Instructions for
— Countertop Heights up to 38”
The range height must be adjusted to the countertop height. For countertop heights greater than 37’\ additional steps may need to be taken as detailed below.
When the range is elevated to its maximum height, there is a large space between the bottom of the range and the floor, referred to as the toe space. This may be visually objectionable. The legs should not be extended any farther than to
provide a maximum of 3“ toeI Fig.1 space. See Fig. 1.
The range is designed to provide a minimum of 1” air gap at the bottom of the range. (Example: When legs are screwed all the way into the base rail.) See Fig. 2.
This gap is very important to the proper ventilation of the range and must be maintained when treating the appearance of the toe space.
—The following information is given to make a filler for the toe space

After the range is installed with the longer legs and is in position and level, measure from the bottom of the bodyside to the floor. This will be the required height of the toe space filler side pieces. See Fig. 1. This height may vary from 2~b” to 3!’ Any height less than 2fib” may not be visually objectionable and not need the filler.
