INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
REMOVE ALL PARTS FROM THE PLASTIC BAG
ATTACHED TO THE BACK OF THE RANGE
AND SAVE PACKAGING TAPE.
1) Before placing range in the counter, notice the location of the
stability bracket which is already attached to the back of the range.
This location should work for most instaiialicns.
However, it may
be more convenient to hook the stability chain to the unit when the
stability bracket is attached to the upper set of holes in the back of
the range. See Fig. 1.
2) Fasten one end of the stability
chain to the floor or the wall with
the long screw and washer sup­
plied. See Fig. 2, Make certain
the screw is going into the wall
plate at the base of the wall or one
of the studs in the wall. See Fig.
3. Whether you attach the chain
to the wail or floor, be certain that
the screw is in at least 3/4" thick­
ness of wood other than base­
board and that there are no elec­
trical wires or plumbing in the area
in which the screw could pene­
trate. Attach the stability chain in a location which will allow the
chain to be in line with the bracket side to side as m uch as possible
when attached to the unit. Test to see if the chain is securely
fastened by tugging on the chain.
into the slot in the bracket (See Fig. 1), making sure the chain is
pulled as tight as possible and that there is no excess slack in the
chain after chain is attached to the bracket.
* Excess slack in the chain could allow the range to
tip over excessively.
6) Slide the range all the way back into the counter. Once the
range is pushed back in place, there will be a small amount of slack
in the chain. This is normal.
IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
FOR RANGES USED WITH COUNTERTOP
HEIGHTS UP TO 38"
The height of the range must be adjusted to the countertop height.
For countertop heights greater than 37", additional measurements
may need to be taken as detailed below.
vVhen the range is elevated to the maximum height, there is a large
space between the bottom of the range and the floor, referred 1o as
the toe space. This may be visually objectionable. The legs should
not be extended any further than to provide a maximum of 3" toe
space. See Fig. 1.
The range is designed to provide a minimum of 1" air gap at the
bottom of the range. See Fig. 2. (Example: When legs are screwed
all the way into the base rail.)

3) Temporarily attach the loose
end ofthe chain tothe rearof the
countertop with the tape from the
packaging. See Fig. 4.
4) Place the range inthecounter
cut out leaving just enough room
between the back of the range
and the wall to reach the stability
bracket.
5) Hook the loose end of the
chain onto the bracket by slip­
ping the nearest link of the chain
This gap is very important to the proper ventilation of the range and
must be maintained when treating the appearance of the toe space.
The following is a suggested method of making a filler for the toe
space when the legs are extended as mentioned before.
After the range is installed with the longer legs and is in position and
level, measure from the bottom of the bodyside to thefloor. This will
betherequiredheightofthetoespacefiller. See Fig. 1. Thisheight
may range from 2-1/16" to 3". Any height less than 2-1/16" may not
be visually objectionable and not need the filler.
Build the filler as shown in Fig. 3. Make sure to provide the 3/4" gap
at the top and the 5/16" gap at the bottom. These gaps will provide
the proper ventilation as mentioned before.
If you wish to attach the filler to the floor or adjacent cabinets, use
screws or other removable fasteners, so that the range can be
readily removed if necessary.
