Parts needed
�
A UL listed or CSA approved connector for 1/2" (1.3 cm)
diameter conduit.
�
UL listed wire connectors.
Check local codes. Check existing electrical supply. See the
“Electrical Requirements” section.
It is recommended that all electrical connections be made by a
licensed, qualified electrical installer.
NOTE:
Be sure to purchase only Whirlpool factory-certified parts
and accessories for your appliance. Your installation may require
additional parts. To order, refer to the contact information
referenced in your Quick Start Guide.
Location Requirements
Make sure you have everything needed for correct installation. It
is the responsibility of the installer to comply with the installation
clearances specified in these instructions.
IMPORTANT:
Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
When installing cooktop, use minimum dimensions given.
�
To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over the
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 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 for
your cooktop model number and approved combinations of
cooktops and ovens that can be installed. If you do not find this
label, your cooktop may not be approved for use over an
undercounter built-in oven. Contact your dealer to confirm that
your cooktop is approved.
�
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.
�
When installing cooktop over an undercounter built-in oven, do
not fasten cooktop to countertop with clamps. This will make
the cooktop easier to remove if future servicing becomes
necessary.
�
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 “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.

may require notching down the base cabinet side walls to clear
the cooktop base. To avoid this modification, use a base cabinet
with sidewalls wider than the cutout.
If cabinet has a drawer, a 3" (7.6 cm) depth clearance from the
countertop to the top of the drawer (or other obstruction) in base
cabinet is required.
