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 in ury 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 above or 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. Installations with less than 2 1/2” from the rear of the
cooktop to a combustible backsplash must use Electrolux Backsplash models
ACCBG096S1 (for E36GC76EPS) or ACCBG0948S1 (for E48GC76EPS).

8PreparingforInstallation
Plan the installation so that the electrical connection, gas shut-off valve, and
pressure regulator are accessible from the front of the cabinet and so that all of the
minimum required
dimensions are provided.
Dimensions apply to both
models unless otherwise
stated (see Figure 1). Locate
the electrical supply box
within reach of the included
48 inch long flexible cord so
the connection is accessible
when the cooktop is in place.

• When installing the cooktop into a laminated (Formica, etc.) or synthetic (Corian,
etc.) countertop, radius the corners of the cutout to prevent cracking of the
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 in ury may be reduced by installing a ventilating hood that pro ects
horizontally a minimum of 5 inches beyond the face of the cabinets.
• Both models are designed to allow installation in standard 24 inch deep base
cabinets with 25 inch overall depth countertops. Deeper cabinets and
countertops may be used to provide required clearances to combustible rear wall
materials or for design purposes.
• The specified cabinet dimensions must be provided. The cabinet and/or
countertop must completely enclose the recessed portion of the countertop.
All contact surfaces between the appliance and the countertop must be solid
and level.
