this Owner’s Manual. Read them carefully.

overhead combustible material or metal cabinets
cannot be maintained, protect the underside of the
cabinets above the cooktop with not less than 1/4″
insulating millboard or gypsum board at least 3/16″
thick covered with 28 gauge sheet steel or 0.020″
thick copper.
• Clearance between the cooking surface and protected
cabinets MUST NEVER BE LESS THAN 24.″ The
vertical distance from the plane of the cooking
surface to the bottom of adjacent overhead cabinets
