Location Requirements
• Dacor recommends installing a non-combustible material
on the wall behind the cooktop.
• To avoid a fire hazard, do not install the cooktop between
two tall cabinets.
• Ensure the cabinets and wall coverings around the
cooktop can withstand the temperatures (up to 200°F)

cooking area, do not install cabinets above the cooktop.
• If cabinets are installed above the cooktop, install a
range hood to prevent storage above the cooktop.
• Do not install the cooktop above a drawer. (Sufficient
space below the cooktop chassis is needed for airflow
and installation access; see the
Under-Counter
Clearance
section, next page.)
• Comply with all electrical specifications.
• Ensure that all planned installation complies with local
building codes.
• Install the junction box within reach of the included 48-in.
(122 cm) long cooktop power conduit attached at the

• Ensure the cooktop bottom and junction box are
accessible for inspection/service.
• Do not install a dishwasher, washer, dryer, refrigerator, or
freezer below the cooktop.
