Installation Instructions

Continued on following page

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 accomodate 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
