Installation Instructions 25 ALTERNATE CONSTRUCTION PREPARATION A OPTIONAL 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 or JXS37XX) 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 8). If you are using the optional backguard kit, refer to the backguard kit instructions for installation details. Wall Must be 25″ level Must be flat 30″ smooth cut Must be level 31-1/8″ Must be flat 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 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 maintop 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 top surface of the maintop to prevent pots, pans and skillets from damaging the painted parts.
