Installation Preparation

ADVANCE PLANNING

Refer to “Installation Preparation” for information on appropriate placement and necessary clearances when planning installation.

Avoid placing cabinetry directly above cooktop when possible.

If cabinetry is used above cooking surface:

Use cabinets no more than 13deep.

Maintain 30minimum clearance between cooktop and unprotected cabinets directly above cooktop.

If clearance is less than 30, protect cabinet

bottoms with flame-retardant millboard at least 1/4thick, or gypsum board at least 3/16thick, covered with 28 gauge sheet steel or .02thick copper.

Clearance between cooktop and protected cabinetry must not be less than 24.

An exhaust hood that projects at least 5beyond front of cabinets can reduce risk of burns caused by reaching over heated surface units.

Working areas adjacent to the cooktop should have 18minimum clearance between countertop and cabinet bottom.

A 30or wider exhaust hood with 350 CFM or greater airflow rating is recommended for use over this Monogram cooktop.

Installation must conform with local codes.

In the absence of local codes, the gas cooktop must comply with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, latest edition.

Gas supply should be located near the opening for this cooktop (see Preparing the Opening and

Gas Connection sections of this manual). The supply should provide natural gas at 7of water column pressure (11of water column for LP gas) and a maximum of 14of water column for natural or LP gas.

The electric spark ignition feature for this model requires a 120V electrical power supply be located in the immediate vicinity of this cooktop (see Electrical Connections section of this manual).
