AOPTIONAL MAINTOP FILLER OR BACKGUARD KIT

If counter opening extends to the wall, it will require Maintop Filler Kit (supplied with the range) or Backguard Kit (JXS32XX) to close the gap.

NOTE: If the countertop is greater than 25″, it will show a gap between the backguard and wall or between filler kit and the wall.

If the countertop is less than 25″, a gap will occur between the countertop front and the control panel ends (see Step 13G).

If you are using the optional backguard kit, refer to the backguard kit instructions for installation details.

If you use the filler kit, place the metal filler piece supplied with the range to the back of the range as shown in the figure below. Start the 2 screws into the upper holes at the outside rear of the range above the louvers and through the slots in the trim, holding the filler piece centered on the maintop frame and pushing upward to close the gap between the bottom of the cooktop and the filler trim.

When the trim is set in the proper position, tighten the 2 mounting screws. The top of the trim should be located below the cooktop edge to prevent pots, pans and skillets from damaging the painted parts.

Refer to the Standard Installation of the Range on page 6.

CISLAND INSTALLATION

Attach the Anti-Tip bracket per instructions in Step 12, making sure that the rear of the bracket is 25″ from the front of the countertop.

Be aware that the screws provided are long and may penetrate through the back of the island cabinets. In this event, use shorter screws (not provided) or the screws provided should be used in the floor (see Step 12B for Wood/Concrete Floor Installation).
