1. If you want to move the electric range to make room for working on the cabinet
turn off the 220 volt power for the electric range at the service entrance.
2. Before moving a gas range, shut off the gas.

FIT FOR A DUCTING VENTILATION (REF FIG.11)
3. For installation onto a recessed bottom cabinet:
a. Measure the space (under the cabinet between the inside front edge and
inside back edge (Fig.5). With a saber saw, cut two 1"x2" wood filler strips
(purchased locally) to fill in the bottom of the cabinet.
b. Start a 1 " long wood screw (purchased locally) about 3" from each end
of the 1"x2" wood strips (Fig.6)
c. Position the strips on the cabinet bottom and screw the strips securely to
