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.
When the range is elevated to the maximum
height, there is a large space between the
bottom of the range and the floor, referred
to 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. 22.
The range is designed to provide a minimum
of 1" air gap at the bottom of the range. See
Fig. 23. (Example: When legs are screwed all
the way into the base rail.)
Fig. 22
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 the floor. This will
be the required height of the toe space filler.
See Fig. 22. This height 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. 24. 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.
