Safety clearances

Minimum clearance under‐
neath the cooktop
To ensure proper ventilation of the
cooktop, a minimum clearance is re‐
quired between the appliance and an
oven, protective base, or drawer.
The minimum clearance from the bot‐
tom of the cooktop to
– the top of the
oven
must be
⁹/₁₆"
(15 mm)
.
– the top of the
protective base
must
be
⁹/₁₆" (15 mm)
.
– bottom of the
drawer
must be
3"
(75 mm)
.
Protective base
Installation of a protective base under
the cooktop is allowed but not required.
A gap of 3" (75 mm) at the back is re‐
quired for the power supply cord. For
better cooling of the cooktop, we rec‐
ommend a gap of 2" (50 mm) at the
front.
