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
8.1
The range cooktop overlaps the countertop at the
sides and the range rests on the floor. The cooktop
is 31½" (80 cm) wide.
8.2
Install base cabinets 30" (76.2 cm) apart. Make
sure they are plumb and level before attaching
cooktop. Shave raised countertop edge to clear
31½" (80 cm) wide range top rim.
8.3
Install cabinet doors 31" (78.7 cm) min. apart so as
not to interfere with range door opening.
8.4
Cutout countertop exactly as shown on page 1.
8.5
Make sure the four leveling legs are setup higher
than the height of the cabinet (shown on page 3).
8.6
Install the anti-tip bracket at
this point before placing the range at its
final position. Follow the installation instructions
on page 11 or on the anti-tip bracket template
supplied with the range.
8.7
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 and the range cooktop may occur.
8.8
To reduce the risk of damaging your
appliance, do not handle or manipulate it by the
cooktop. Manipulate with care.
8.9
Position range in front of the cabinet opening.
8.10
Make sure that the underside of the cooktop
clears the countertop. If necessary, raise the unit
by lowering the front leveling legs and the back
leveling wheels.
8.11
Level the range (see section 9). The floor where
the range is to be installed must be level. Follow
the instructions under "Leveling the Range".
8.12
Slide the range into the cutout opening.
IMPORTANT

Installation With Backguard
The cutout depth of (21 3/4" (55.2 cm)Min., 22 1/8"
(56.2cm) Max.) needs to be increased to 24" (61 cm)
when installing a backguard.
Installation With End Panel
A End Panel kit can be ordered through a Service
Center.
Installation With Side Panels
A Side Panels kit can be ordered through a Service

9
Leveling the Range
Level the range and set cooktop height before
installation in the cut-out opening.
1. Install an oven rack in the center of the oven.
2. Place a level on the rack (see figure 7). Take 2
readings with the level placed diagonally in one
direction and then the other. Level the range, if
necessary, by adjusting the 4 leg levelers with a
wrench.
3. Taking care to not damage the countertop, slide
range into cut-out opening and double check for
levelness.
