BACKGUARD
 All ranges require a backguard. Most models have the option of using: island trim (standard); 6” inch; 17” inch; 24”
inch high shelf.
 If you are using an island trim, 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 into the
cooktop support. Screws are installed on each end ring grate/top grate position. Replace the removed grates.
