Cabinet and Countertop Layout

 WARNING

To avoid the risk of fire or personal injury, all minimum  

and maximum specified clearances on this and the 

following pages must be maintained or exceeded.

General Considerations

The minimum distance from the back of the cooktop 

• 

to a combustible rear wall is 2 1/2” (64 mm) minimum 

(Figure 1).
Installation of a non-combustible material* (up to the 

• 

hood) or a backsplash is always recommended, and 

mandatory if the distance to the back wall from the 

cooktop is less than 2 1/2” (Figure 2). When installing 

a backguard, use only Dacor model numbers AEB3009 

or AEB3012 (for model DRT304S) AEB3609, AEB3612 

(for model DRT366S).
* Consult local codes and ordinances for acceptable 

non-combustible materials.

Carefully check the location where the cooktop is to be 

• 

installed. For best performance, the cooktop should be 

installed away from drafts caused by doors, windows 

and heating and air conditioning outlets. To reduce the 

risk of personal injury from reaching over a hot appli-

ance, avoid cabinet installations directly above.

Installation Requirements

To reduce the risk of personal injury and to reduce 

• 

accumulated smoke in the room, Dacor strongly recom-

mends installing a range hood. A hood should project 

forward a minimum of five (5) inches beyond the face 

of the cabinets.
The installation must allow access to the underside 

• 

of the cooktop for service and inspection purposes, 

including the ability to turn off the cooktop gas supply 

valve and electrical outlet.
All contact surfaces between the cooktop and the coun-

• 

ter must be solid and level.
The countertop overhang on the sides of the cutout 

• 

shown on the following pages covers the recessed por-

tions of the cooktop behind the control panel and cre-

ates a seamless look for the installation.

IMPORTANT: 

• 

When installing the cooktop into a lami-

nated or synthetic countertop, radius the corners of the 

cutout to help avoid cracking. Consult the countertop 

manufacturer’s instructions for minimum corner radius, 

reinforcement and heat protection requirements.

Gas and Electric Service Location

The gas supply piping, gas shut-off valve and the elec-

• 

trical outlet must be located so they do not interfere 

with the cooktop when it is installed. If installing another 

appliance in the cabinet below, allow for the routing of 

gas and electrical service out the back of the unit.
The shaded area on the facing page shows the rec-

• 

ommended location of the gas inlet and the electrical 

outlet. For replacement purposes, the location of the 

existing utilities may be utilized provided they do not 

interfere with the sides or rear of the cooktop. Check 

local building codes for permissible utility locations.
For best performance and to minimize gas pressure 

• 

loss, attach the gas supply regulator as close as pos-

sible to the cooktop gas inlet.

The installation must:

Allow for access to the gas shut-off valve and regulator 

• 

when the unit is installed.
Allow for access to the electrical outlet, when the 

• 

cooktop is in place so that the power cord may be eas-

ily disconnected if the unit needs service.
Allow the (32”) power cord to reach the electrical outlet.
