PROXIMITY TO SIDE CABINETS
1. The cooktop may be installed directly to existing base
cabinets. 24" (610 mm) minimum deep countertop is
required.
Cooktop dimensions:
- width = 22”
53/64
(580 mm);
- depth = 19”
11/16
(500 mm).
Cut-out dimensions:
- width = 22”
1/64
(560 mm);
- depth = 18”
7/8
(480 mm).
To centre the cooktop on the 24” (610 mm) countertop there
must be a distance of 2” 9/16 (65 mm) between the front
side of the cut-out and the front of the countertop and also
between the back side of the cut-out and the back of the
countertop. When the cooktop has been installed there must
be a distance of 2”
5/32
(55 mm) between the front side of
the cooktop and the front of the countertop and also
between the back side of the cooktop and the back of the
countertop.
Important:
Base cabinet construction must allow for size of
cooktop cutout.
Gas line opening:
Wall - anywhere 11” 51/64 (300 mm) below underside of
countertop;
Cabinet floor - anywhere 3” 5/16 (84.2 mm) from the rear
wall.
Grounded outlet:
the electric cord with 3-prong ground plug
has a length of 48” (122 mm). Grounded outlet should be
located within 36" (914.4 mm) of centre rear side of cut-out.
2. The cooktop CANNOT be installed directly adjacent to
sidewalls, tall cabinets, tall appliances, or other side vertical
surfaces. There must be a minimum of 4” (102 mm) side
clearance from the cooktop cut-out to such combustible
surface TO THE RIGHT ONLY above the counter height.
There must be a minimum of 20” (508 mm) side clearance
from the cooktop cut-out to such combustible surface TO
THE LEFT ONLY above the counter height.
IMPORTANT: ONE SIDE (LEFT OR RIGHT) ABOVE THE
COUNTER HEIGHT MUST ALWAYS BE KEPT CLEAR.
3. The maximum upper cabinet depth recommended is 13”
(330 mm). Wall cabinet above the cooktop must be a
minimum of 30” (762 mm) above the countertop for a width
of minimum 22” 7/16 (570 mm): it has to be centred with
the cooktop. Side wall cabinets above the cooktop must be
a minimum of 18” (457 mm) above the countertop.
4. If cabinet has a drawer, a 4” (102 mm) depth clearance from
the top of the countertop to the top of the drawer (or other
obstruction) in base cabinet is required. The drawer depth
may need to be shortened to avoid interfering with the
regulator.
