• The cooktop may be installed directly to
existing base cabinets.
• The cooktop CANNOT be installed directly
adjacent to sidewalls, tall cabinets, tall
appliances, or other side vertical surfaces
above 36” (91.4 cm) high. There must be a

from the cooktop to such combustible
surfaces above the
36” (91.4 cm) counter height.
• Within the 6” (15.2 cm) side clearance to
combustible vertical surfaces above
36” (91.4 cm), the maximum wall cabinet
depth must be 13” (33.0 cm) and wall
cabinets within this 6” (15.2 cm) side
clearance must be 18” (45.7 cm) above the
36” (91.4 cm) high countertop.
• Wall cabinet above the cooktop
must be a minimum of 36”
(91.4 cm) above the countertop
for a full width of the cooktop.

Clearance Dimensions (Wood/Composite Overlay)
The bottom of a standard hood should be 30”
(76.2 cm) min. to 36” (91.4 cm) max. above the
countertop. This would typically result in the
bottom of the hood being
66” (167.6 cm) to 72” (182.9 cm) above the
