Location Requirements
IMPORTANT:
Observe all governing codes and ordinances. Do
not obstruct flow of combustion and ventilation air.
■
It is the installer’s responsibility to comply with installation
clearances specified on the model/serial/rating plate. The
model/serial/rating plate is located on the underside of the
cooktop burner box.
■
To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over the
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" (12.7 cm)
beyond the bottom of the cabinets.
■
All openings in the wall or floor where cooktop is to be
installed must be sealed.
■
Cabinet opening dimensions that are shown must be used.
Given dimensions are minimum clearances.
■
Grounded electrical supply is required. See “Electrical
Requirements” section.
■
Proper gas supply connection must be available. See “Gas
Supply Requirements” section.
■
The cooktop is designed to hang from the countertop by its
side or rear flanges.
■
The gas and electric supply should be located as shown in
“Cabinet Requirements” section so that they are accessible
without requiring removal of the cooktop.
■
Provide cutout in right rear corner of cutout enclosure as
shown to provide clearance for gas inlet and power supply
cord, and to allow the rating label to be visible.
■
Ovens approved for this type of installation will have an
approval label located on the top of the oven. If you do
not find this label, contact your dealer to confirm that your
oven is approved. Refer to oven manufacturer’s Installation
Instructions for approval for built-in undercounter use and
proper cutout dimensions.
IMPORTANT:
To avoid damage to your cabinets, check with
your builder or cabinet supplier to make sure that the materials
used will not discolor, delaminate or sustain other damage.

Product Dimensions
Cabinet Requirements
IMPORTANT:
If installing a range hood or microwave hood
combination above the range, follow the range hood or
microwave hood combination installation instructions for
dimensional clearances above the cooktop surface.
NOTES:
After making the countertop cutout, some installations
may require notching down the base cabinet side walls to clear
the burner box. 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.
