Measure carefully when cutting the countertop.
Make sure sides of the opening are parallel.
• Allow 8” free space below the top surface of the countertop.
• Allow additional clearances below the burner box

to install the regulator and make house supply
connections. Use a 90° elbow to route the gas
connections and limit interference with drawers
or other cabinetry features.

• These rangetops are designed to hang from

the countertop by their side flanges.

• Smooth any rough edges on the countertop before

installing the rangetop.
– Formica countertop edges must be finished.

The countertop must be strong enough to support
the weight of the rangetop.

Cutout Opening with False Bottom

• You can construct the cutout with a false bottom to

conceal the bottom of the rangetop.
– Build the false bottom using a solid material; cut a

7-1/2" x 11-1/8" hole in the left rear corner for the gas
inlet and power cord clearances.
