CABINET PREPARATION AND

CLEARANCESC

CAUTION

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 in. (127

mm)beyond the bottom of the cabinets. See C, Page 2.

This unit is designed for installation in the counter top with zero clearance to adjacent walls and projecting surfaces constructed of combustible materials. A 30- inch minimum clearance is required between the top of the cooktop and the bottom of an unprotected cabinet. A 24-inch minimum distance is necessary when the bottom of the wood or metal cabinet is protected by not less than 1/4 inch of a flame retardant material covered with not less than No. 28 MSG sheet steel, 0.015-inch (0.4 mm) thick stainless steel, 0.024-inch (0.6 mm) aluminum, or 0.020-inch (0.5 mm) thick copper. Flame retardant materials bear the mark:

MINERAL AND FIBER BOARDS

SURFACE BURNING CHARACTERISTICS

Followed by the flame spread and smoke ratings, these designations are shown as “FHC (Flame Spread)/ (Smoke Developed).” Materials with “O” flame spread ratings are flame retardant.Local codes may allow other flame spread ratings.

The minimum horizontal clearance from the sides and back edge of the cooktop to the adjacent vertical combustible walls is zero inches.

COUNTERTOP CUTOUT

DIMENSIONSE

The cutout dimensions depend upon whether the installation is for replacement, new construction, or installation in a solid surface countertop material, such as Surel™, Corian® etc.These materials require larger cutouts, use of heat reflective tape and rounded corners. Drawings G and H provide some guidelines only (see Page 4 and 5). Always consult the countertop manufacturer for specific installation instructions.

WARNING:

TO AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD, BEFORE INSTALLING THE COOKTOP, SWITCH POWER OFF AT THE SERVICE PANEL AND LOCK THE PANEL TO PREVENT THE POWER FROM BEING SWITCHED ON ACCIDENTALLY.

Seal with foam tape

A foam tape is provided to seal the cooktop edges to the countertop (see page 4).Turn cooktop upside down and apply tape approximately 1/16” from the glass edges. Use tape around the entire glass perimeter cut off excess where tape ends butt.

Secure Cooktop to countertop

The cooktop should be secured to the countertop using the hold-down brackets provided. Prior to inserting cooktop into cutout, turn cooktop upside down and attach brackets to the burner box using the washers and screws.

Place cooktop into cutout. Insert clamping screws into the brackets and secure cooktop to countertop.
