OPTIONAL MAINTOP FILLER
OR BACKGUARD KIT
(cont.)
If you use the filler kit, place the metal filler
piece supplied with the range to the back of
the range as shown in the illustration below.
Start the 2 screws into the upper holes at the
outside rear of the range above the louvers
and through the slots in the trim, holding the
filler piece centered on the maintop frame
and pushing upward to close the gap between
the bottom of the glass and the filler trim.
When the trim is set in the proper position,
tighten the 2 mounting screws. The top of the
trim should be located below the top surface
of the glass to prevent pots, pans and skillets
from damaging the painted parts.
Refer to Step 2.
