A.
Make

can
withstand
the

C.
This

has
been
approved
for

the
cooktop.
However,
a
6”
minimum
spacing
to
surfaces
less
than
15”
above
the
cooktop
and

is
recommended
to
reduce

To
reduce
the
risk
of
burns
or
fire
when
reaching
over
hot
surface

cabinet
storage
space
above
the
cooktop
should
be
avoided.
If
cabinet
storage
space
is
to
be
provided
above
the
cooktop,
the
risk
can
be
reduced
by
installing
a
range
hood
that
projects
at
least
5”
beyond
the
front
of
the
cabinets.
Cabinets
installed

We
recommend
you
have
the
electrical
wiring

connected
by
a
qualified
electrician.
After
installation,
have
the

show
you
how
to

the
National
Electrical
Code
requires
that

an
area
where
local

for
electrical
codes
which
apply
in
your

Failure
to
wire
your
