Location
This counter unit must be installed with the control knobs toward the front edge or the side.
Counter space must be provided for installation of the counter unit. When choosing a location, consider the following:
•The cooktop should be easy to reach and lighted with natural light during the day.
•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 space is to be provided, the risk can be
reduced by installing a range hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5″ beyond the bottom of the cabinets. Cabinets
installed above the counter unit may be no deeper than 13″ and must be at least 30″ above the cooktop.
•To insure accuracy, it is best to make a template when cutting the opening in the counter. See the following illustration and chart for all necessary dimensions.
