Under Cabinet Clearances

•The gas supply piping, gas shut-off valve and the elec- trical outlet must be located so that they do not inter- fere with the cooktop when it is installed. If installing another appliance in the cabinet below, allow for the routing of gas and electrical service behind it.

The installation must allow for the following:

•Access to the gas shut-off valve and regulator when the unit is installed.

•Access to the electrical outlet when the cooktop is in place. The 42” (106.7 cm) power cord must be able to reach the electrical outlet.

•Access to the underside of the cooktop for service and inspection purposes.

•Clearance inside the cabinet to allow for proper hold down bracket installation.

To allow access to the utilities and cooktop bottom, a fixed shelf should not be installed below the cooktop. See the following pages for countertop cutout dimensions.

Raised Vent Compatibility

Model DCT305 is not compatible with a raised vent. If installing cooktop model DCT365 with a raised vent, install only Dacor raised vent model ERV3615. Installation of any other raised vent model may cause improper operation.
