CABINET PREPARATION
1PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION
Positioning the cooktop
The cooktop is designed to look best when centered in a cabinet at least 30″ wide.
The exhaust vent beneath the cooktop must be located between wall studs or floor joists so that the ductwork may be installed properly.
At least 6″ must be allowed between side edges of the cooktop and adjacent walls.
2PREPARING THE BASE CABINET
This cooktop is designed to fit easily into a variety of cabinets. However, some cabinets may require modifications.
Preparing a cabinet that is against a wall
In some cabinets, the sides may need to be scooped or cut down 53⁄4″ as 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 53⁄4″ to
13″ max. |

Avoid placing cabinets above the cooktop unit, if possible, in order to reduce the hazards caused by reaching over heated surface units. If cabinets are placed over the cooktop, the risks can be reduced by installing a range hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5 inches beyond the bottom of the cabinets.
If cabinetry is used above the cooktop, allow a minimum 30″ clearance between the cooking surface and the bottom of any unprotected cabinet.
If the clearance between the cooktop and the cabinetry is less than 30″, the cabinet bottom must be protected with flame retardant millboard at least 1/4″ thick, covered with 28 gauge sheet steel or 0.020″ thick 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.
A 15″ minimum must be kept from the side edge of the cooktop to the bottom of any cabinet not directly above the cooktop. If the clearance is less than 15″, adjacent cabinets should be at least 6″ from the side edge of the cooktop.
