CABINET/COUNTERTOP PREPARATION
The installation of this built-in appliance must be completed by a qualified appliance
technician or contractor. Proper installation is the owner’s responsibility.
Carefully check the location where the cooktop is to be installed. The cooktop
should be placed for convenient access, but away from drafts that may be caused
by open doors and windows or by HVAC duct outlets. Make certain that gas and
electrical power can be provided in the selected locations. Plan the installation so
that all minimum clearances are met or exceeded. Dimensions shown provide
minimum clearances, unless otherwise noted.
!
WARNINGWARNING
WARNINGWARNING
WARNING
• To reduce the risk of personal injury caused by reaching over a hot appliance,
cabinet storage space located directly above the cooktop should be avoided.
• Keep appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and
other flammable vapors and liquids.
• Failure to provide proper clearances may result in a fire hazard!
• Do not store combustible materials or items adversely affected by heat
immediately below the cooktop.
• The back edge of the cooktop must remain a minimum of 2 1/2" (64mm) from any
combustible backsplash material. This will require special cabinet and
countertop dimensions.

8Preparing for Installation
Plan the installation so that the electrical connection, gas
shut-off valve, and pressure regulator are accessible from the
front of the cabinet.

countertop.
• Follow the countertop manufacturer’s instructions regarding the minimum corner
radius, use of heat reflective tape, reinforcement of corners, etc.
• If cabinet storage space is to be provided directly above the cooktop, the risk of
personal injury may be reduced by installing a ventilating hood that projects
horizontally a minimum of 5 inches beyond the face of the cabinets.
• Allow a minimum 1/4 inch clearance between the bottom of the any cooktop
chassis and all combustible surfaces, including the upper edge of a drawer
installed below the cooktop. See Figure 1 and related table.
• Access to the underside of the cooktop and the junction box must be provided for
inspection and service.
• A fixed shelf should not be installed below the cooktop.
• Clearance inside the cabinet must allow for proper side mounting bracket
installation. See Figure 2 and related table.
• All models are designed for 24” (610mm) minimum base cabinet depth.
• The maximum depth of cabinets installed above cooking tops is 13 inches
(330mm).
