To eliminate the risk of burns 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 inches
(12.7 cm) beyond the bottom of the
cabinets.
Cooktop installed over oven
installation: Only certain specified
cooktop and oven models are approved
for cooktop over oven installations.
Cooktops approved for this type of
installation will have an approval label
located on the outside of the burner
box. If you do not find this label, contact
your dealer to confirm that cooktop is
approved. The label on the bottom of
your cooktop lists the cooktop and oven
combinations that are approved for this
type of installation.
Ovens approved for this type of
installation will have an approval label
located on top of oven. If you do not
find this label, contact dealer to confirm
that oven is approved. Refer to oven
manufacturer’s Installation Instructions
for approval for built-under use and
proper cutout dimensions.
When installing cooktop over a built-
under oven, Do not fasten cooktop to
countertop with clamps. Cooktop then
will be easy to remove if servicing is
ever necessary.
Check location where cooktop will be
installed. The location should be away
from strong draft areas, such as
windows, doors and strong heating
vents or fans. The cooktop should be
located for convenient use in the
kitchen.
Grounded electrical supply is
required. See “Electrical requirements,”
Page 4.
Important:
Observe all governing codes and
ordinances.
When installing a cooktop under
existing cabinets and the installation
does not meet the minimum cabinet
clearances, install a range hood above
the cooktop to avoid burn hazards.

and provide required 0" (0 cm)
clearance.
New installations — Use minimum
dimensions given.
