It's best to find a local appliance company that has the range installed in a kitchen display area. This will allow you to physically see how the installation was done. Also an appliance sales representative can advise you on the correct steps to achieving success in this situation.

It requires that I router out a 1/4 deep 1 1/4 inch wide lip all around the cutout. Doing this sets the ceramic top at the same level as the counter top. They also specify that I make the router opening 1/4 inch wider than the top is. I have a 31 1/4' wide top and the cut is specified as 31 1/2 inch EXACT! What is the 1/8 inch gap for? I have a firmica counter top and this will leave a 1/8 inch scare exposing the partical board core. What do I use to dress this up? How to I seal this and make a water tight seal between the range top and counter top core? I have been in touch with many representitives from the Manf and seller, no one has answers to these questions. I am wondering if I could screte some neoprene into the partical board core and fill the 1/8 inch gap with it as well. I am inclined to ignore the EXACT 31 1/2 inch cut and make it fit 31 1/4 inches exactly. What is the correct way of installing this typ of range? Thank you.
