Cooktop installed over oven installation: Only certain specified cook-top and oven models are approved for cooktop over oven installations. Cooktops approved for this type of installation will have an approval label located on the outside of the burner box. If you do not find this label, contact your dealer to confirm that cooktop is approved. The Insert Sheet included with your literature lists the cooktop and oven combinations that are approved for this type of installation.

Ovens approved for this type installation will have an approval label located on top of the oven. If you do not find this label, contact your dealer or refer to the built-under oven Installation Instructions.

30” (76.2 cm) or 36” (91.4 cm) min. base cabinet is required. If cabinet has a drawer, a 2-718”(7.3 cm) min. depth clearance from the countertop to the top of the drawer (or other obstruction) in base cabinet is required.

Check location where cooktop will be installed. The location should be away from strong draft areas, such as windows, doors and strong heating vents or fans. The cooktop should be located for convenient use in the kitchen.

When installing cooktop over a built- under oven, Do Not fasten cook-top to countertop with clamps. Cooktop then will be easy to remove if servicing is ever necessary.

It is the customer’s responsibility:

To contact a qualified electrical installer.

To assure that the electrical installation is adequate and in conformance with National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 - latest edition**, or CSA Standards C22.1-94, Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1 and C22.2 No. O-M91 - latest edition”’ and all local codes and ordinances.

Injury Hazard

To eliminate the risk of burns or fire, avoid installing cabinet storage above the cooking surface. If cabinets are already installed, reduce the hazard of reaching over a heated cooking surface by installing a range hood.

The range hood should extend a minimum of 5 inches (12.7 cm) out from the bottom of the cabinets.

Reaching over a heated cooking surface could result in a serious burn.
