CLEARANCES FROM
COMBUSTIBLE SURFACES:
The Jade Gas Cooktop must be installed in accor-
dance with the minimum clearances as illustrated.
In order to reduce the hazards in reaching over the
appliance, avoid placing cabinets directly above the
cooktop. When installed, the maximum depth of the
overhead cabinets is 13 inches. Note that the
minimum vertical distance between the cooktop
surface and the combustible cabinets above the
cooktop is 50”. If a ventilating hood is used, we
recommend a minimum 30” distance from the
bottom of the hood to the cooktop surface.
Because of the high burner input rate of the Jade
Gas Cooktop, A PROFESSIONAL VENTILAT-
ING HOOD MUST BE INSTALLED ABOVE
THE APPLIANCE IF THE SPACE “W” IS LESS
THAN 48 INCHES FOR A RJCT36 AND
60 INCHES FOR A RJCT48. Please refer to the
chart for the recommended ventilating hood sizes.
For island installation, the minimum clearances are
12” from rear wall, 6” from side cabinets (18”
above cooking surface).
·
The hood width must be at least the same width
as the cooktop. The hood depth must be 19”
minimum.
·
The hood must not contain combustible
materials.
·
Due to the high volume ventilation air, a source
of outside replacement air is recommended. This
is particularly important for tightly sealed and
insulated homes.
·
A qualified heating and ventilating contractor
should be consulted when installing the
ventilating hood and associated duct work.
·
Any opening in the wall behind the appliance and
in the cabinet top under the appliance must be
sealed.
