A - 13 inches maximum depth of overhead cabinets
B - 36 inches is minimum height of countertop above floor
C - 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).
D - 30 inches minimum clearance between the top of the cooking
surface and the bottom of an uprotected wood or metal cabinet or
24 inch minimum clearance when the bottom of the 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-think stainless steel, 0.024-inch-thick aluminum or
0.020-inch-thick-copper.
E - 1-inch minimum from backsplash of countertop to edge of glass
(refer to the following page for overall cooktop dimensions).
Allow a 2” minimum clearance between the bottom of the metal pan of the cooktop and any
combustible surface located below, ie: the upper edge of a drawer installed below the cooktop
(see Fig. B). Failure to provide proper clearance and ventilation may result in a fire hazard.
FOR INSTALLATIONS IN CANADA:
“Do Not Install Closer Than 1/2 Inch
(12mm) From Any Adjacent Surface”, and
NE PAS INSTALLER A’MDINS DE 12MM
DETOUTE SURFACE ADJACENTE.
Warning: To eliminate the risk of burns by reaching over heated
surface units, cabinet storage space located above surface units
should be avoided. If cabinent 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.

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.
Adequate ventilation of the space below the
countertop must be provided to ensure
proper operation of the cooktop. Heat
transferred from the cooktop bottom pan
during operation will overheat an improperly
ventilated area.
