INSTALLATION PREPARATION
1. PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION
Positioning the cooktop
The cooktop is designed to look best when centered
in a cabinet at least 30" wide.
The exhaust vent beneath the cooktop must be
located between wall studs or floor joists so that the
ductwork may be installed properly.
At least 5 1/2” must be allowed between side edges
of the cooktop and adjacent walls.
Avoid placing cabinets above the cooktop unit, if
possible, in order to reduce the hazards caused by
reaching over heated surface units. If cabinets are
placed over the cooktop, the risks can be reduced
by installing a range hood that projects horizontally
a minimum of 5 inches beyond the bottom of the
cabinets.
If the cabinetry is used above the cooktop, allow
a minimum 30" clearance between the cooking
surface and the bottom of the unprotected cabinet.
If the clearance between the cooktop and the
cabinetry is less than 30", the cabinet bottom must
be protected with a flame retardant millboard at least
1 /
4
" thick, or gypsum board at least 3 /
16
" thick, covered
with 28 gauge sheet steel or 0.020" thick copper.
Clearance between the cooktop and the protected
cabinetry
MUST NEVER BE LESS THAN 24 ".
EXCEPTION: Installation of a listed microwave
oven or cooking appliance over the cooktop shall
conform to the installation instructions packed with
that appliance.
Working areas adjacent to the cooktop should have
an 15" minimum clearance between the countertop and the
bottom of the cabinet. If the clearance is less than 15”, the
adjacent cabinets should be at least 5 1/2” from the side
edge of the cooktop
2. PREPARING THE BASE CABINET
This cooktop is designed to fit easily into a variety
of cabinets. However, the combined installation
of a downdraft vent and a cooktop require careful
consideration.
Some cabinets may require modifications.
This installation requires a 24” min. deep
cabinet base.
The cabinet must be at least 30” wide.
