Please read this section prior to making
cutout for cooktop.
It is important to plan ahead for installation of
the cooktop, keeping the following dimensions
in mind.
A - 13 inches maximum depth of overhead
cabinets
B - 36 inches is minimum height of
countertop above oor
C - The minimum at countertop surface that
the cooktop will rest upon must be equal to
or greater than the overall cooktop
dimensions (refer to page 8 for overall
cooktop dimensions).
D - 30 inches minimum clearance between
the top of the cooking surface and the
bottom of an unprotected wood or metal
cabinet or 24 inch minimum clearance when
the bottom of the wood or metal cabinet is
protected by not less than 1/4-inch-thick
ame retardant millboard covered with
not less than No. 28 MSG sheet steel,
0.015-inch-think stainless steel, 0.024-inch-
thick aluminum or 0.020-inch-thick-copper.
E - 1-inch minimum from backsplash of
countertop to edge of glass (refer to the
page 6 for overall cooktop
dimensions).
FOR INSTALLATIONS IN CANADA:
“Do Not Install Closer Than 1/2 Inch
(12mm) From Any Adjacent Surface”, and
NE PAS INSTALLER A’MDINS DE 12MM
DETOUTE SURFACE ADJACENTE.
WARNING!
To eliminate the risk of burns by
reaching over heated surface units,
cabinet storage space located above
surface units should be avoided. If
cabinet storage is to be provided, the
risk can be reduced by installing a
range hood that projects horizontally
a minimum of 5” beyond the bottom of
the cabinets.

Before making the countertop cutout, check
for clearance. Check to see if the cooktop
will clear the front and side walls of the base
cabinet. It is also important to provide enough
ventilation.
Adequate ventilation of the space below the
countertop must be provided to ensure proper
operation of the cooktop. Heat transferred
from the cooktop bottom pan during operation
will overheat an improperly ventilated area.
