Installation Clearances
IMPORTANT: If installing a range hood or microwave hood combination above the range, follow the range hood or microwave hood combination installation instructions for dimensional clearances above the cooktop surface.

NOTES:
After making the countertop cutout, some installations may require notching down the base cabinet side walls to clear the cooktop base. To avoid this modification, use a base cabinet with sidewalls wider than the cutout.
If cabinet has a drawer, a 4" (10.2 cm) depth clearance from the countertop to the top of the drawer (or other obstruction) in base cabinet is required. The drawer depth may need to be shortened to avoid interfering with the regulator.

M. 8" (20.3 cm) minimum distance to nearest left side combustible surface.**
N. 8" (20.3 cm) minimum distance to nearest right side combustible surface.**
30" (76.2 cm) Cooktop Overall: M + N must equal 48" (122.0 cm) minimum + 29" (73.7 cm) cutout for cooktop or 77" (195.6 cm)
36" (91.4 cm) Cooktop Overall: M + N must equal 48" (122.0 cm) minimum + 35¼" (89.5 cm) cutout for cooktop or 83¼" (211.5 cm)
**M + N combined must be at least 48" (122.0 cm) minimum overall Example 1: M = 8" (20.3 cm) left side + N = 40" (101.6 cm) right side = 48" (122.0 cm)
Example 2: M = 24" (61.0 cm) left side + N = 24" (61.0 cm) right side = 48" (122.0 cm)
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.
IMPORTANT: The cooktop must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes and ordinances, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 or Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1.
If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrical installer determine that the ground path is adequate.
