*If a countertop backsplash is used, it must be constructed of non-combustible materials (such as masonry, ceramic, granite, stainless steel, etc.) whenever the cutout to rear vertical surface is less than 3-3/8".

IMPORTANT: Always maintain 2-3/4" Min. clearance from cutout to front edge of countertop.

Advance planning

•Refer to “Installation Preparation” for information on appropriate placement and necessary clearances when planning installation.

•Avoid placing cabinetry directly above cooktop when possible.

•If cabinetry is used above cooking surface:

–Use cabinets no more than 13" deep.

–Maintain 30" minimum clearance between cooktop and unprotected cabinets directly above cooktop.

–If clearance is less than 30", protect cabinet bottoms with flame-retardant millboard at least 1/4" thick, or gysum board at least 3/16" thick, covered with 28 gauge sheet steel or .02" thick copper.

–Clearance between cooktop and protected cabinetry must not be less than 24".

–An exhaust hood that projects at least 5" beyond front of cabinets can reduce risk of burns caused by reaching over heated surface units.

–Working areas adjacent to the cooktop should have 18" minimum clearance between countertop and cabinet bottom.

•Use the Monogram gas stainless steel cook- top with any 36" or wider exhaust hood with 350 CFM or greater air flow rating.

•Installation must conform with local codes. In the absence of local codes, the gas cook- top must comply with the National Fuel Gas

Code, ANSI Z223.1, latest edition. 3
