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 cook top 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 cook top. Heat transferred from
the cook top bottom pan during operation will
overheat an improperly ventilated area.
