INSTALLATION GUIDE AND USER MANUAL
Installation with a range hood
Note: Minimum clearance for back wall is 0” with backsplash (backguard) or high shelf.
If a range hood is installed above the range top, maintain a 30” (76.2 cm) minimum clearance between the rangetop
and the bottom of the range hood.
The range hood must exhaust outside.
For best smoke elimination, the minimum clearance of the range hood should be installed 30” to 36” above the
rangetop surface. Recommended CFM should be 600 CFM for the 30” range top.
Do not install with a downdraft ventilation system
Installation in an island
Note: There must be a minimum of 6” (15.2 cm) clearance from rear of range top to a combustible wall. Clearances
from non-combustible materials are not part of the ANSI Z21.1 scope and are not certified by CSA. Clearances to
non-combustible materials must be approved by the authority having jurisdiction.
• This range top may be installed directly adjacent to existing 36” (91.4 cm) high base cabinets.
• The range top CANNOT be installed directly adjacent to sidewalls, tall cabinets, tall appliances, or other side vertical
surfaces above 36” (91.4 cm) high. There must be a minimum of 6” (15.2 cm) side clearance from the range top to
such combustible surfaces above the 36” (91.4 cm) counter height.
• Within the 6” (15.2 cm) side clearance to combustible vertical surfaces above 36” (91.4 cm), the maximum wall
cabinet depth must be 13” (33.0 cm) and wall cabinets within this 6” (15.2 cm) side clearance must be 18” (45.7 cm)
above the 36” (91.4 cm) high countertop.
• Wall cabinets above the range top must be a minimum of 42” (106.7 cm) above the range top cooking surface for
the full width of the range top. This minimum height requirement does not apply if a range top hood is installed over
the cooking surface.

Kucht Gas Rangetop requires 110 volts, 50/60 Hz electrical supply to operate the ignition system.
The power cord is a 3-prong grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a mating outlet.
Make sure there is a power outlet within the reach of the range top’s power supply cable (within 36 "/30 cm from the
right side of the range top). The outlet should be accessible with the range top installed.
