cabinets

The minimum flat countertop surface that
the cooktop will rest upon must be equal to or
greater than the overall cooktop dimensions
(refer to the following page for overall cooktop
dimensions).

30 inches minimum clearance between the
top of the cooking surface and the bottom of
an unprotected wood or metal cabinet or 24
inches minimum clearance when the bottom of
wood or metal cabinet is protected by not less
than 1/4 - inch thick flame retardant millboard
covered with not less than No. 28 MSG sheet
steel, 0.015-inch-thick stainless steel, 0.024-
inch-thick aluminum or 0.020-inch-thick copper.

Before making the countertop cutout, check for clearance.Check to see if the cooktop will clear the front
and side walls of the base cabinet. It is also important to provide enough ventilation.
WARNING
To eliminate the risk of burns by reaching over heated surface units, avoid having cabinet storage
space located above surface units. If cabinet storage is to be provided, the risk can be reduced
by installing a range hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5" beyond the bottom of the
cabinets.
