CABINET PREPARATION
1
PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION
Positioning the cooktop
The cooktop is designed to look best when centered in a
cabinet at least 30” wide.
The exhaust vent beneath the cooktop must be located
between wall studs or floor joists so that the ductwork may
be installed properly.
At least 6” must be allowed between side edges of the
cooktop and adjacent walls.
Avoid placing cabinets above the cooktop unit, if possible,
in order to reduce the hazards caused by reaching over
heated surface units. If cabinets are placed over the
cooktop, the risks can be reduced by installing a range hood
that projects horizontally a minimum of 5 inches beyond the
bottom of the cabinets.
If cabinetry is used above the cooktop, allow a minimum 30”
clearance between the cooking surface and the bottom of
any unprotected cabinet.
If the clearance between the cooktop and the cabinetry is
less than 30”, the cabinet bottom must be protected with
flame retardant millboard at least 1/4” thick, covered with
28 gauge sheet steel or 0.020” thick copper. Clearance
between the cooktop and the protected cabinetry MUST
NEVER BE LESS THAN 24".
EXCEPTION: Installation of a listed microwave oven or
cooking appliance over the cooktop shall conform to the
installation instructions packed with that appliance.
A 15” minimum must be kept from the side edge of the
cooktop to the bottom of any cabinet not directly above the
cooktop. If the clearance is less than 15”, adjacent cabinets
should be at least 6” from the side edge of the cooktop.
