DANGER
HOT GLASS WILL
CAUSE BURNS.
DO NOT TOUCH GLASS
UNTIL COOLED.
NEVER ALLOW CHILDREN
TO TOUCH GLASS.
A barrier designed to reduce the risk of
burns from the hot viewing glass is provided
with this appliance and must be installed for
the protection of children and other at-risk
individuals.
WARNING! Risk of Fire! DO NOT apply combustible
materials beyond the minimum clearances. Comply with
all minimum clearances to combustibles as specied.
Overlapping materials could ignite and will interfere with
proper operation of decorative fronts.
Special TV and Mantel Clearance Requirements
The Portrait decorative front has unique requirements for
clearances to TV’s and mantels. Verify that the appliance
is installed in compliance with the required clearances to
mantels. The installation must comply with the specied
TV Guidelines and Combustible Mantel and Non-Com-
bustible Mantel diagrams included in this instruction.
Refer to the appliance Installation Manual for additional
information.
IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INFORMATION
MAINTAIN required mantel and TV clearances to avoid
damage to nishing materials and/or TV.
Note: Measurement is taken from top/side of the
opening, NOT the top/side of the appliance.
Mantel and Wall Projections
WARNING! Risk of Fire! Comply with all minimum clear-
ances as specied. Mantel MUST be fastened to wall
with no gaps.
• Framing closer than the minimums listed must be
constructed entirely of non-combustible materials (i.e.,
steel studs, concrete board, etc.).
• No gaps allowed between the wall and the bottom of the
mantel.
• Combustible mantel legs and wall projections may be
applied over the non-combustible board supplied with
the appliance. Follow guidelines as shown in the gures
below for mantels, mantel legs and wall projections.
Verify that mantel clearance requirements are maintained
for combustible or non-combustible mantels as shown in
Figure 1 and Figure 2. Refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 if
the Passive Heat Kit is installed.
Good Faith TV Guidelines
See Figure 5 for TV Clearances.
Good Faith Wall Surface Temperatures
See Figure 6 for wall surface temperatures. Note that

Notes:
1. These are good faith recommended clearances only and not a guarantee of compliance with all TV
manufacturers’ maximum allowable operating temperatures.
2. Since every home has unique air flow characteristics and maximum allowable operating temperatures
can vary from manufacturer to manufacturer and from model to model, actual TV temperatures should
be validated at the time of each installation. TVs should not be used in situations where the actual TV
temperature exceeds the manufacturers’ maximum allowable operating temperatures identified in the
TV’s technical specifications. Contact the TV’s manufacturer directly if you cannot locate this
information or have questions regarding the information.
3. Mantel height and depth must conform to mantle requirements specified in the appliance installation
manual.
4. “C” dimension taken from the top of the hood or appliance opening.
5. Suggestions on how to further reduce TV temperatures:
a. Increase “A” dimension.
b. Increase “C” dimension, however, increasing “B” dimension beyond maximum recommended
typically results in higher temperatures.

Note: These fronts have optional decorative trim kits. If an
optional trim kit will be used, install it prior to installing the
front on the appliance. Reference the instructions included
with the trim kit and the Service Parts section of this
instruction for more detail.
Finishing Material/Method
These decorative fronts are designed to be installed as
Overlap Fit or Inside Fit.
Inside Fit Method:
When installing a decorative front using the Inside Fit
method, the factory-supplied nishing strips must be in-
stalled prior to installation of the nishing material. The
nishing strips ship with the appliance and are located in
the control cavity underneath the rebox. The nishing
strips must be removed before installing the decorative
front. Finishing strips will add the proper clearances for
the installation of the front.
Typically, the inside t method is only used when non-
combustible nish material greater than 1 inch is used
(such as cultured stone). This nish material is installed
adjacent to the decorative front sides and top. When in-
stalled, the back of the decorative front contacts the black
surround on the replace, thus the decorative front is “in-
side” the adjacent nish material. Refer to the appliance
Installation Manual for more detailed information.
Overlap Fit Method:
The factory-supplied nishing strips are not needed for
this method of nishing. Remove the nishing strips from
the control cavity of the appliance and discard.
Non-combustible nish material that is 1 inch or less
(such as marble or tile) is installed up to the replace
opening on the sides and top. When installed, the back of
the decorative front contacts the face of the nish mate-
rial. Refer to the appliance Installation Manual for more
detailed information.
1. Remove contents from packaging. Refer to Table 1 for
Decorative Front dimension information.
2. Install optional decorative trim kit, if desired, according
to instructions included with the kit.

Preparation Installation
1. Verify that the nishing strips have been removed, if
previously installed.
2. The decorative front is installed by engaging top and
bottom hooks on the front with top and bottom tabs on
the appliance. See Figure 7. Align the bottom hooks
on the decorative front with the bottom tabs on the
appliance. Set the bottom hooks on the tabs and tilt
the front toward the appliance until it contacts the top
tabs. Once the decorative front contacts the top tabs,
lift up slightly and push decorative front toward appli-
ance until hooks and tabs are engaged.

Cleaning Instructions for Decorative fronts
Use a microber cloth and Windex® Original Glass
Cleaner or 03M003 Stove Bright® Glass Cleaner to
clean the decorative front immediately after installation
to remove acids deposited by the installer or technician.
Spray the cleaner onto the microber cloth and carefully
wipe the entire surface. The decorative front should
be cleaned in this manner annually by the homeowner
to remove ngerprints or other contaminants. Once
oxidation of the paint pigment has occurred, cleaning will
not restore the original color.
