Avoid use of cabinets above cooktop for storage space to
eliminate associated potential hazards such as reaching
over open flames.
*To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over
heated surface units, cabinet storage space located
above the surface units should be avoided. If cabinet
storage is to be provided, the risk can be reduced by
installing a range hood that projects horizontally a
minimum of 5 inches beyond the bottom of the cabinets.
Preparation Of Countertop
The countertop cutout must be prepared according to the
illustrations on pages 1 and 2 of these instructions.
CAUTION:
Cutout dimensions are critical. Dimensions
must be measured and cut accurately to 1/16

(.159 cm) to ensure proper fit.
Important Preparation Suggestions
1. Chamfer all exposed edges of decorative laminate to
prevent damage from chipping.
2. Radius corners of cutout and file to insure smooth
edges and prevent corner cracking.
3. Rough edges, inside corners which have not been
rounded and forced fits can contribute to cracking of
the countertop laminate.
4. Countertop must be supported within 3
