CLEARANCE DIMENSIONS
Countertops with a raised lip and/or
backsplash may not allow enough flat
space. Installation requires 2” of flat
countertop behind the cooking surface,
and 1-3/4” between the back edge of the
cooking surface and the inside back of
cabinet. (Viking recommends that
oversized cabinets be used for easier
installation. Also, cooktop depth can vary
greatly, causing the fit of
cooktop/rangetop and downdraft to be
tight.)
The remote mounted control (if
applicable) must be placed in the
countertop. Do not install it directly
behind or beside a burner or element.
Distance between the controls and the
edge of the cooking surface should be 4”
min.
Important
—If installing in a cabinet with
same width as your downdraft model, the
outlet cannot be located on the back wall
of cabinet. In these cases, the downdraft
will cover the entire back wall of the
cabinet, so you must you must either
• mount the electrical box to a side wall or
cabinet floor—at least 12” from the back
wall, or
• mount the electrical box to a wall stud
behind the cabinet, where it will not be
covered by the downdraft, and provide a
clearance hole in the back wall of the
cabinet.
For ducting clearance, check location of
floor joists, wall studs, electrical wiring or
plumbing for possible interference.
Note:
Accurate alignment of cooktop and downdraft is necessary to ensure that there is no interference when air vent
is raised and lowered. There should be a gap of 1/32”–1/16” (.08 cm–0.16 cm) between the back of the cooktop and
the front of the downdraft cover. Rangetops and Designer cooktops must be used with an “R” model downdraft (with
remote control) - mounted into the countertop, at least 4” (10.2 cm) from the burners.
