•
When installing the cooktop into a laminated (Formica, etc.) or synthetic (Corian,
etc.) countertop, radius the corners of the cutout to prevent cracking of the
countertop.
•
Follow the countertop manufacturer’s instructions regarding the minimum corner
radius, use of heat reflective tape, reinforcement of corners, etc.
•
If cabinet storage space is to be provided directly above the cooktop, the risk of
personal injury may be reduced by installing a ventilating hood that projects
horizontally a minimum of 5 inches beyond the face of the cabinets.
•
Allow a minimum 1/4 inch clearance between the bottom of the any cooktop
chassis and all combustible surfaces, including the upper edge of a drawer
installed below the cooktop. See Figure 1 and related table.
•
Access to the underside of the cooktop and the junction box must be provided for
inspection and service.
•
A fixed shelf should not be installed below the cooktop.
•
Clearance inside the cabinet must allow for proper side mounting bracket
installation. See Figure 2 and related table.
•
All models are designed for 24” (610mm) minimum base cabinet depth.
•
The maximum depth of cabinets installed above cooking tops is 13 inches
(330mm).
