Interior Cabinet Clearances

IMPORTANT:The electronic components for the induction elements in the cooktop need air circulation. To ensure long life of electronic components, it is required that 1-1/2 (3.8 cm) or more open space remains between the bottom of the cooktop and any shelf underneath. The maximum length of the shelf underneath is 18” (45.7 cm). It is required that the exit air ports at the front are not blocked.

Minimum clearances from adjacent combustible construction

• Below countertop 3-1/4” (8.3 cm)	1. The cooktop CANNOT be installed
minimum	directly adjacent to sidewalls, tall
• Above countertop 36” (91.4 cm)	cabinets or appliances, or other side
minimum	vertical surfaces above 36” (91.4 cm)
• Side 6” (15.2 cm)	high. A minimum side clearance of 6”
• Rear* 0” minimum	(15.2 cm) is required between the
• Within 6” side clearance. Wall	cooktop and such combustible
cabinets no deeper than 13” (33.0 cm)	surfaces above the counter.
• Center of cutout from rear wall/back	2. A minimum height clearance of 18”
splash minimum 10-1/2” (26.7 cm)	(45.7 cm) is required between the
• Countertop depth 25” (63.5 cm)	countertop and wall cabinets no
• Cabinet depth from rear maximum	deeper than 13” (33.0 cm) above the
13” (33.0 cm)	countertop.
• Cabinet height from countertop	3. These dimensions are based on a
minimum 18” (45.7 cm)	standard 24” (60.1 cm) deep base
	cabinet with a 25” (63.5 cm) deep
	countertop and 3/4” backsplash.
	4. If a ventilation hood is installed over
	the cooktop, the minimum 36” (91.4
	cm) height clearance above the unit
	does not apply. Refer to the hood
	installation instructions for further
	information.

Warning

The use of cabinets for storage above the appliance may result in a potential burn hazard. If a cabinet storage is to be provided the risk can be reduced by installing a hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5” (12.7 cm) beyond the bottom of the cabinets.

Important: To ensure proper performance and extend the life of the electric components in the cooktop, it is required that a minimum height clearance of 1-1/2” (3.8 cm) be located between the bottom of the induction cooktop and any shelf or combustible surface directly below the cooktop. This includes the top edges of drawers located directly beneath the cooktop. If a shelf or drawer is located directly below the cooktop, a 1” (0.4 cm) gap at the front of the shelf or drawer is necessary to allow for proper ventilation.
