IMPORTANT
•When installing the cooktop into a laminated (Formica, etc.) or synthetic (Corian, etc.) countertop, radius the corners of the cutout to prevent cracking of the countertop.
•Follow the countertop manufacturer’s instructions regarding the minimum corner radius, use of heat reflective tape, reinforcement of corners, etc.
•If cabinet storage space is to be provided directly above the cooktop, the risk of personal injury may be reduced by installing a ventilating hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5 inches beyond the face of the cabinets.
•Allow a minimum 1/4 inch clearance between the bottom of the any cooktop chassis and all combustible surfaces, including the upper edge of a drawer installed below the cooktop. See Figure 1 and related table.
•Access to the underside of the cooktop and the junction box must be provided for inspection and service.
•A fixed shelf should not be installed below the cooktop.
•Clearance inside the cabinet must allow for proper side mounting bracket installation. See Figure 2 and related table.
•All models are designed for 24” (610mm) minimum base cabinet depth.
•The maximum depth of cabinets installed above cooking tops is 13 inches (330mm).
