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
7.1
The range cooktop overlaps the countertop at
the sides and the range rests on the floor. The
cooktop is 31½" (80 cm) wide.
7.2
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.
7.3
Install cabinet doors 32" (81,3 cm) min. apart so
as not to interfere with range door opening.
7.4
Cutout countertop exactly as shown on page 4.
For models equipped with Leveling Device:
7.5
Make sure the front leveling legs and the rear
leveling device are setup higher than the height
of the cabinet.
7.6
Install the anti-tip bracket at
this point before placing the range at its final
position. Follow the installation instructions
on page 12 or on the anti-tip bracket template
supplied with the range.
7.7
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.
7.8
To reduce the risk of damaging
your appliance, do not handle or manipulate it by the
ceramic glass. Manipulate with care.
7.9
Position range in front of the cabinet opening.
7.10
Make sure that the cooktop glass which
overhangs the countertop clears the countertop.
If necessary, raise the unit by lowering the
leveling legs.
7.11
Slide the range into the cutout opening and
center it before leveling it.
7.12
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- Models Equipped with Leveling Device".
7.13
Adjust leveling legs so that the underside of the
cooktop is sitting on the countertop. Carefully
screw in (refer to Leveling the range: Models
equipped with Leveling Device") the back
leveling leg until the cooktop glass overhang
touches slightly the countertop. Then carefully
screw in the front two leveling legs until the
cooktop glass overhang touches slightly the
countertop.
For models equipped with Leveling Leg only (no
leveling device):
7.5
Make sure the four leveling legs (front and rear)
are setup higher than the height of the cabinet.
