Kenmore 4104 Installation Instructions - Page 10

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. Position range in front of the cabinet opening. Make sure that the glass which overhangs the countertop clears the countertop. If necessary, raise the unit by lowering the leveling legs. Level the range (see section 8). The floor where the range is to be installed must be level. Follow the instructions under "Leveling the Range". Slide the range into the cutout opening. Standard Installation The range cooktop overlaps the countertop at the sides and the range rests on the floor. The cooktop is 31 1/2" (81 cm) wide. Install base cabinets 30" (76.2 cm) apart. Make sure they are plumb and level before attaching cooktop. Shave raised countertop edge to clear 31 1/2" (81 cm) wide range top rim. Install cabinet doors 31 " (78.7 cm) min. apart so as not to interfere with range door opening. Cutout countertop exactly as shown on page 1. Make sure the four leveling legs (front and rear) are setup higher than the height of the cabinet (shown on page 3). Install the anti-tip bracket at this point before placing the range at its final position. Follow the installation instructions on page 13 or on the anti-tip bracket template supplied with the range. 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. To reduce the risk of damaging your appliance, do not handle or manipulate it by the ceramic glass. Manipulate with care. If Accessories Needed Installation For 29" Existing Cutout Wide Opening 1.
