Installing Cabinetry Over Your Cooktop
A = 30 (76.2 cm) minimum clearance between the top of the cooktop and the bottom of an unprotected wood or metal cabinet.
A = 24 (60.96 cm) minimum when bottom of wood or metal cabinet is protected by not less than 1/4 (0.635 cm). FLAME RETARDANT millboard covered with not less than no. 28 MSG sheet steel, 0.015 (0.038 cm) stainless steel, 0.024 (0.061 cm) aluminum or copper.
*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 is to be provided, the risk can be reduced by installing a range hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5 inches beyond the bottom of the cabinets.
Important Installation Suggestions
1.Chamfer all exposed edges of decorative laminate to prevent damage from chipping.
2.Radius corners of cutout and file to insure smooth edges and prevent corner cracking.
3.Rough edges, inside corners which have not been rounded and forced fits can contribute to cracking of the countertop laminate.
4.Countertop must be supported within 3 (7.62 cm) of cutout.
CAUTION
Warranty is void on equipment installed other than as recommended by manufacturer.
