This range is designed to hang from the countertop.

It

does not rest on the floor.

Be sure the bottom

of any wall cabinets are a minimum

of 30"

(76.2 cm) above the rangetop area.

To eliminate the hazard or reaching over heated surface

units, cabinet storage space located above the surface

units should be avoided. If cabinet storage is to be

provided,

the hazard can be reduced by installing

a range

hood that

projects horizontally

a minimum

of 5" (12.7

cm) beyond the bottom

front

edge of the cabinets.

Important

Note:

Door

removal is not a requirement

for installation

of the

range, but is an added

convenience.

The appliance

should be placed on a table

or the front

of the appliance

should be raised to be able

to fully open the door.

Please refer to the Use and

Care Guide for oven door

1.

Install base cabinets 30"

(76.2cm) apart, and be sure

they are plumb and level before attaching to

countertop.

2.

Cut countertop

exactly as shown

in Figure 1. Shave

raised edge level to clear 31 1/2" (81cm) wide rim

on rolled edge styled countertops.

3.

Install the wiring

junction

box in an adjoining

cabinet

or under the floor (range has 48"/122cm

of conduit).

Cut 1-1/4"

(3.2cm) hole to bring conduit

junction

box.

4.

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
