PREPARING THE COUNTERTOP
The countertop must have a deep flat surface
to accommodate the cooktop and the vent.
Countertops with a rolled front edge and
backsplash may not provide the flat surface
area required.
Clearance between inside front of cabinet and rear
of countertop cutout must be 20
5
⁄
8
″
in order to
accommodate cooktop depth.
A 1/2
″
wide flat area is required around the edge
of opening for support of the unit. The cooktop unit
must be level and sit squarely into countertop
opening.
Carefully cut countertop opening according
to the dimensions shown in the illustration. Be sure
that opening is cut squarely, with sides parallel to
each other and rear exactly perpendicular to sides.
PREPARING FOR DUCTWORK
NOTE: Ductwork MUST be vented to outside.
DO NOT vent into a wall, ceiling, crawlspace, attic or any
concealed space.
Cut hole in cabinet wall or floor as appropriate for your
installation. Make sure exhaust duct is located between wall
studs or floor joists.
NOTE: When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling,
do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.

BLOWER TO DUCTWORK ALIGNMENT
In general, the use of flexible ducting is discouraged because
it can cause severely restricted airflow. However, if the
blower outlet and the floor or wall duct location do NOT align
well, then flexible METAL ducting can be used to adapt to an
offset. Good alignment without use of flexible ducting is best.
NOTE:
•
Do not exceed the maximum recommended
offset of 6
″
.
•
Do not allow the flexible ducting to kink or collapse.
•
Do stretch the flexible ducting as much as possible
to eliminate as much of the corrugation as possible.
