Step 7: Backguard Installation

The backguard must be attached before sliding the range into the final installed position. A Low Back or Pot and Pan Shelf must be installed when there is less than a 12" clearance between combustibles and the back of the range above the cooking surface. (See Fig. 2A and 2B on Page 5).

An Island Trim is available for covering the backguard mounting flanges for island installations, where there is a minimum of 12" of horizontal clearance behind the island trim. (See Fig. 2B on Page 5).

The backguard is inserted, as shown in Fig. 13, into the guide channels on the back of the range. Secure the backguard with the (4) sheet metal screws pro- vided.

WARNING

To avoid possible burn or fire hazard, a backguard designed specifically for this range must be installed whenever the range is used.

CAUTION:

The Pot and Pan Shelf can get very hot!

DO NOT place the following items on top of the Pot and Pan Shelf:

-plastics or containers that can melt

-flammable items

-a total load over 30 pounds (13.6kg)
