I have a CC and what you are describing sounds about right. Mine glide out about 3/4. I think the "removeable" part from the literature is referring to the pans themselves and not the whole system.

Thanks Jscout.

I don't understand why they'd call them full extension though mine barely go 1/2 way.... just far enough to get the front pan out and then slide the other forward.

Can't wait to get it hooked up but I've got a feeling that's still a week or more away.

The drip trays threw me for a while also. I couldn't figure how the little trays actually were removable instead of the whole darn thing.

Good luck with the final install. Don't hesitate to call Bob at Capital if your simmering needs adjustment. After a couple of adjustments and the regulator installation, my rangetop simmers well finally. Turkey stock is quietly bubbling away as I type, which wouldn't have been possible several months ago.
