Location Requirements
IMPORTANT:
Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
When installing cooktop, use minimum dimensions given.
■
The cooktop must be a specified cooktop that is approved
to be installed either alone or over an undercounter built-in
oven. Check the cooktop base for an approved installation
label. If you do not find this label, contact your dealer to
confirm that your cooktop is approved.
■
To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over heated
surface units, cabinet storage space located above the
surface units should be avoided. If cabinet storage is to be
provided, the risk can be reduced by installing a range hood
that projects horizontally a minimum of 5” (12.7 cm) beyond
the bottom of the cabinets.
■
The cooktop must be installed in a level countertop.
■
Ovens approved for this type of installation will have an
approval label located on the top of the oven. If you do
not find this label, contact your dealer to confirm that your
oven is approved. Refer to oven manufacturer’s Installation
Instructions for approval for built-in undercounter use and
proper cutout dimensions.
■
The cooktop should be installed away from strong draft
areas, such as windows, doors, fans, or strong heating
vents. The cooktop should be located for convenient use in
the kitchen.
■
Use the countertop opening dimensions that are given
with these Installation Instructions. Given dimensions are
minimum clearances and provide 0" (0 cm) clearance.
■
Grounded electrical supply is required. See the “Electrical
Requirements” section.
IMPORTANT:
To avoid damage to your cabinets, check with
your builder or cabinet supplier to make sure that the materials
used will not discolor, delaminate, or sustain other damage. This
cooktop has been designed in accordance with the requirements
of UL and CSA International and complies with the maximum
allowable wood cabinet temperatures of 194°F (90°C).
The model/serial/rating label is located on the bottom of the
electrical junction box cover.
