Viking Range side and rear trim ? HELP!
Comments (3)Don't know about your stove, but when I looked briefly at the Viking induction range last summer, I think the side pieces and rear piece were simply covering the gap between the stove and the surrounding countertop. IIRC, the stock "island trim" is actually only a short riser for the oven vent. (It keeps the oven venting from blowing directly onto burners and also raises the vent up just enough to reduce the likelihood that stuff may roll off the stovetop into oven vent.) My recollection is that the island trim piece did not have a lip to cover the gap at the back of the stove where it meets an island's countertop. I had the impression that the P30CRT was simply a lip that somehow clipped or stuck on to the back of the island trim. The whole idea is that the lips will cover the gap and keep stuff from falling down between the counter and stove. Also, with the lip, your countertops do not have to be very tight against the stove, and that makes it muucchh easier to get in and out. Most 30" stoves are actually more like 29 7/8" wide and cutouts are usually specified and cut to 30 1/8" just so you can move a stove in and out when needed. It was hard to figure out whatthe back piece did because there did not seem to be any pictures of the rear trim piece, or at least I couldn't find any when I looked last summer. I'm guessing that has not changed. Maybe somebody who actually has one can chime in.

Comments (15)Hi, lovetocook9 - Well, I baked for 6 hours so it was a good time to test the heat off the sides of my BS range. I thoroughly felt all over the insides of the base cabinets on both sides of my range and felt no heat anywhere. As to the amount this range projects out from my cabinets: the main body of the range projects only 3/8 inch from the actual "face" of my base cabinets - which brings it even with the front of my cabinet doors. The oven door extends a further 3 inches and the metal deck in front of the burners extends an additional half inch. From home photos I've seen on the BS website and the BS Installation Manual, this is normal. The specs call for a cabinet depth of 24 inches which allows the oven door to stand clear of the cabinets. My old range fit this same way and was never a problem either. Good luck with your project....See Moreisland trim on regular range installation?
Comments (5)As others have said, as long as your backsplash is non-combustable, there should be no problem. We have a Bluestar 36" 6 burner range with island trim installed just the way you're talking about. It's been in place since october of 2010. We've had no issues at all. We did extend the backsplash tile down 1' behind the range. Here's a shot....See MoreGap between back of my rangetop/island trim and wall..even with tile.
Comments (32)Sadly, a lot of the kitchens that you see on Houzz are not designed for cooking. Or bathrooms for getting clean and brushing your teeth. They are designed for maximum visual appeal, regardless of function. And in many cases, regardless of code. How many bathrooms do you see with chandeliers over the tubs? The manufacturer is very specific in this case, and that specificity is incorporated into the local code by default. You need the tall backguard against a wall. The only way to install that with an island backguard would be to reframe that with steel studs and cement board. Then you will still have the issue of your backsplash material potentially scorching. Because if you look at a kitchen that cooks, the stainless back guard is discolored by heat....See MoreNancy
