Advance Planning

Refer to “Dimensions and Clearances” for appropriate placement and necessary clear- ances when planning the installation.

Cabinetry can not be installed directly above the cooktop.

We recommend the installation of a vent hood above the cooktop surface.

–The vent hood should be at least 24" deep. –The vent hood should be the same width as

the cooktop.

–For 48" models, we recommend the vent hood blower be 1200 CFM.

–For 36" models, we recommend the vent hood blower be 600 CFM.

Refer to hood installation instructions for height dimensions.

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

Clearance between cooktop and side wall or combustible material must be at least 12" on each side.

These cooktops require 8" free space below the countertop.

If the cooktop is installed in an island: –Allow 12" min. clearance at the back to

combustible materials.

–Allow 36" min. above the cooking surface to combustible materials.

Installation must conform with local codes. In the absence of local codes, the gas cooktop must comply with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1-1990.

A.G.A. approved.
