Installation Instructions
The Standard Installation of this Drop-In
Range is to hang by the countertop on the
side metal flanges under glass cooktop.
This Range must not be installed on a
base or sub structure (2 ” x 4 ” support).
If the construction of your cabinet cannot
provide a 1/4” flat area at the back of the
countertop opening, consider changing the
countertop to accommodate this dimension.
If the area is not flat, excess tension may
be applied to the glass cooktop, causing
breakage and voiding the warranty.
Center the 30” wide opening over the ad-
jacent cabinets and mark with a straight
edge.
Using a straight edge, mark the back line at
23-3/16” from the front edge of the counter.
Be careful not to damage the adjacent
cabinets while cutting the countertop.
Remove countertop raised edge, if
incorporated. (See illustration on page 4)
