be installed either alone or over an undercounter built-in oven.
Check the cooktop base approved installation label for your
cooktop model number and approved combinations of
cooktops and ovens that can be installed. If you do not find this
label, your cooktop may not be approved for use over an
undercounter built-in oven. Contact your dealer to confirm that
your cooktop is approved.
� Ovens approved for this type of installation will have an
approval label located on the top of the oven. If you do not find
this label, contact your dealer to confirm that your oven is
approved. Refer to oven manufacturer’s Installation
Instructions for approval for built-in undercounter use and
proper cutout dimensions.
� The cooktop should be installed in a location away from strong
draft areas, such as windows, doors and strong heating vents
or fans.
� All openings in the wall or floor where cooktop is to be installed
must be sealed.
� Cabinet opening dimensions that are shown must be used.
Given dimensions are minimum clearances.
� Grounded electrical supply is required. See “Electrical
Requirements” section. Proper gas supply connection must be
available. See “Gas Supply Requirements” section.
� The cooktop is designed to hang from the countertop by its

without requiring removal of the cooktop.
� Provide cutout in right rear corner of cutout enclosure as
shown to provide clearance for gas inlet, power supply cord,
