If the construction of your cabinet cannot provide a 1/4" flat area at the back of the countertop opening, consider changing the countertop to accommodate this dimension.

See Alternate Construction section. If the area is not flat, excess tension may be applied to

the glass cooktop, causing breakage and voiding the warranty.

If the existing cabinet opening is approximately 30-3/8," the Vertical Side Trim Kit (JXS86XX) should be used to cover gaps between range

sides and cabinet. Refer to the kit instructions for installation details.

When installing the range at the end of a cabinet section that will expose the unfinished side of the range, use Body Side Kit (JXS76XX).

Refer to the kit instructions for installation details. If countertop height is between 36-1/2" and 38,"

a lower trim kit (JXS56XX) is recommended. Refer to the kit instructions for installation details.
