SECTION B - CABINET CONSTRUtXION
\
All surface units are designed for installation in a base cabinet with a countertop depth of 24”. For information on top
cabinet location see notes below.
Countertop cutout dimensions are given in Figure 2 and the chart below for the various cooktop models. When the il-
lustration is followed the required clearances from the front edge of countertop and the nearest vertical and rear walls
will be obtained.

surface units, cabinet storage space located above the surface unit
should be atided. li cabinet storage is to be provided, the risk can
be reduced by installing a range heed that ptojects horizontally a
minimum of 5 inches w the bottom of the cabinets.
NOTE: “A” = 30” min. dearance beIwen the top of the cooking sur-
face and the bottom of an unprotected v.ood or melal cabinet
“A” = 24” min. when bottom of wcxxl or metal cabinet is protected
by nd less than %” flame retardant millboard covered with not less
than No. 28 MSG sheet steel, OM4” aluminum, O.Ol5” stainless steel
or QO20” copper.
NOTE: Sides of cooktop must be spaced a minimum of one inch from

SECTION D - INSTALLING UNIT
Place cooktop in countertop cutout. Center and align unit in opening making sure that required clearances are maintained.
Determine which of the following two mounting methods, shown below in Figures A and B is to be used. When using
either method be sure to use the outermost applicable mounting hole.
NOTE: With some installations, i.e. replacements, it is possible that both methods may be employed.
Hardware for both methods is provided and consists of 4 - wood .screwS and 4 - bolt and clamp assemblies.
WOOD SCREW AND WASHER ASSEMBLY
When permissible the burner box may be fastened directly to the countertop using a wood screw and washer assembly.
Use the cup washer from the bolt and clamp assembly and place wood screw provided through washer.
1. Each unit has double action hinges which allow the front and back mounting holes to be exposed individually. After
centering and aligning unit in cutout, lift cooktop by placing a hand in each front element opening and engage support
rod. See Position 1. Secure burner box using wood screw and washer assembly in front two outermost mounting
holes. As shown in Figure A.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Due to flange design hand tighten only until outer lip is snug to countertop. Overtightening may
stress flange and cause crazing and chipping of porcelain.

are 3 inches deep. An additional 4 inches at the rear of the burner box is needed for the electrical connections.
See side view of Figure 1.
CABINET CONSTRUCTION
All surface units are designed for installation in a base cabinet with a countertop depth of 24 inches. For informa-
tion on top cabinet location see notes below.
The minimum and maximum countertop cutout dimensions are given in Figure 4 and chart below according to
model number. The side and rear wall clearances in the diagram are recommended clearances.
IMPORTANT NOTE: In order to comply with.UL safety standards the front edge of the cooktop must be a minimum of
V/z inches from the front edge of the countertop (See Figure 5) and the sides of the cooktop must be a minimum of
1 inch away from any vertical sidewalls.
TOP CABINET
NOTE: To eliminate the riskofburnsorfirebyreachingover the
heated surface units, cabinet storage space located above the
surface unit should be avoided. If cabinet storage is to be pro-
vided, the risk can be reduced by installing a range hood that
projects horizontally a minimum of 5 inches beyond the bottom
of the cabinets.
NOTE: “A” = 30” min. clearance between the top of the cook-
ing surface and the bottom of an unprotected wood or metal
cabinet.
“A” = 24” min. when bottom of wood or metal cabinet is pro-
tected by not less than l/q” flame retardant millboard covered with
