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

adjacent 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)
