Check local codes and consult gas supplier. Check existing gas supply and electrical supply. See “Electrical Requirements” and “Gas Supply Requirements” sections.

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 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.

The cooktop should be installed in a location away from strong draft areas, such as windows, doors and strong heating vents or fans.

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 gas and electric supply should be located as shown in “Gas and Electric Connection Locations” in the “Location Requirements” section so that they are accessible without requiring removal of the cooktop.

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.
