Standard Installation

The range cooktop overlaps the countertop at
the sides and the range rests on the floor. The
cooktop is 31 1/2" (80 cm) wide.

sure they are plumb and level before attaching
cooktop. Shave raised countertop edge to clear
31 1/2" (80 cm) wide range top rim.

leveling device are setup higher than the height

this point before placing the range at its final
position. Follow the installation instructions on

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

your appliance, do not handle or manipulate it by
the cooktop or control console. Manipulate with
care.
