NOTES: After making the countertop cutout, some
installations 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 4" (10.2 cm) depth clearance from
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.
IMPORTANT: If an undercounter built-in wall oven is to be
installed below this cooktop, the grounded outlet (H) and
gas supply piping must be located in an adjacent cabinet.
This cooktop and its gas and electrical supply sources must
be installed before the undercounter built-in wall oven is
installed.
