INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

INSTALLATION / CLEARANCES

All units must be installed in accordance with the minimum rear and side wall clearances

and clearances extended vertically above the cooktop which are stated on the serial plate

(the serial plate is located on the back of the unit.)

Make sure that the wall coverings, countertops, and cabinets around the cooktop can

withstand temperatures of up to 200˚F / 93˚C generated by the cooktop. It is the

responsibility of the installer to make certain that the cooktop is properly adjusted at the

time of installation. Situations caused by improper adjustments or improper installation are

not covered under the warranty. Any expenses incurred due to such situations will not be

paid by the manufacturer of the appliance.

Installation without a range hood

• NOTE: All measurements are based on 24” (61 cm) deep cabinet

• This cooktop may be installed directly adjacent to existing 36” (91.4 cm) high base

cabinets.

• The cooktop CANNOT be installed directly adjacent to sidewalls, tall cabinets, tall

appliances, or other side vertical surfaces above 36” (91.4 cm) high. There must be a

minimum of 6” (15.2 cm) side clearance from the cooktop to such combustible surfaces

above the 36” (91.4 cm) counter height.

• Within the 6” (15.2 cm) side clearance to combustible vertical surfaces above 36” (91.4 cm),

the maximum wall cabinet depth must be 13” (33.0 cm) and wall cabinets within this 6” (15.2

cm) side clearance must be 18” (45.7 cm) above the 36” (91.4 cm) high countertop.

• Wall cabinets above the cooktop must be a minimum of 42” (106.7 cm) above the cooktop

cooking surface for the full width of the cooktop. This minimum height requirement does

not apply if a range hood is installed over the cooking surface.

CAUTION!: Items of interest to children should not be placed in cabinets above the

cooktop. Children climbing on the cooktop to reach items could be seriously injured.

Installation with a range hood

• NOTE: Minimum clearance for the back wall is 0” with backsplash (backguard) or high

shelf.

• If a range hood is installed above the cooktop, maintain a 30” (76.2 cm) minimum

clearance between the cooktop and the bottom of the range hood.

• The range hood must exhaust outside.

• For best smoke elimination, the minimum clearance of the range hood should be installed

30” to 36” above the cooktop surface. Recommended CFM should be 600 CFM for the 30”

cooktop.

• Do not install with a downdraft ventilation system.
