CUT THE COUNTERTOP OPENING
STEP 1
48" wide models are designed to fit in 48" or wider base cabinets
Measure carefully when cutting the countertop.
Make sure sides of the opening are parallel.
• Allow 8" free space below the top surface of the countertop.
• Allow additional clearances below the burner box
to install the regulator and make house supply
connections. Use a 90° elbow to route the gas
connections and limit interference with drawers
or other cabinetry features.
• These rangetops are designed to hang from
the countertop by their side flanges.
• Smooth any rough edges on the countertop before
installing the rangetop.
– Formica countertop edges must be finished.
The countertop must be strong enough to support
the weight of the rangetop.
