Installation Instructions

BACKGUARD
 All ranges require a backguard. Most models have the option of using: grate height trim; island trim; 6”
inch standard; 17” inch hi-back; 24” inch high shelf. Heritage Classic models require a 24” inch high
shelf for all installations.
 If you are using an island trim or grate height, a six inch clearance between the back of the range and a
combustible surface is required. If an island trim is to be used without this six inch clearance, the back
wall must be constructed using non-combustible and heat resistant materials that extend below the top
surface of the range a minimum of six inches.
 All backguards follow the same basic installation. Remove rear grates, slide backguard over rear of unit,
align holes, use hardware supplied to fasten backguard to unit. A minimum of six sheet metal screws
(more depending on width) are to be installed, three on each end and more along the bottom edge.
 Remove the two rear ring grate/top grates from the cooktop surface. Sheet metal screws must be installed
- down - into the cooktop support. Screws are installed on each end ring grate/top grate position.
Replace the removed grates.
