1PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION

Positioning the cooktop

The cooktop is designed to look best when centered in a cabinet at least 30wide.

The exhaust vent beneath the cooktop must be located between wall studs or floor joists so that the ductwork may be installed properly.

2PREPARING THE BASE CABINET

This cooktop is designed to fit easily into a variety of cabinets. However, the combined installation of a downdraft vent and a cooktop require careful consideration.

Some cabinets may require modifications.

This installation requires a 24min. deep cabinet base. The cabinet must be at least

Preparing a cabinet that is against a wall

In some cabinets, the sides may need to be scooped or cut down 534as shown, and the corner braces removed in order to accommodate the unit.

In 75 cm and 90 cm frameless European cabinets, the back panel may need to be cut down 534to accommodate the unit.

Preparing a peninsula or island-type cabinet

In a peninsula or island type cabinet, the sides may need to be scooped or cut down, and the corner braces removed in order to accommodate the unit.

The downdraft system with blower, motor and ductwork will occupy the cabinet below the cooktop. Drawers cannot be installed below this cooktop.

Avoid placing cabinets above the cooktop unit, if possible, in order to reduce the hazards caused by reaching over heated surface units.

If the cabinetry is used above the cooktop, allow a minimum 30clearance between the cooking surface and the bottom of the unprotected cabinet.

If the clearance between the cooktop and the cabinetry is less than 30, the cabinet bottom must be protected with a flame retardant millboard at least 1/4thick, or gypsum board at least 3/16thick, covered with 28 gauge sheet steel or 0.020thick copper. Clearance between the cooktop and the protected cabinetry MUST NEVER BE LESS

THAN 24 .

EXCEPTION: Installation of a listed microwave oven or cooking appliance over the cooktop shall conform to the installation instructions packed with that appliance.

Working areas adjacent to the cooktop should have an 18minimum clearance between the countertop and the bottom of the cabinet. If the clearance is less than 18, the adjacent cabinets should be at least 5from the side edge of the cooktop.
