CLEARANCES
Minimum Clearances
• From rear wall to back edge of cooktop: 3"/7.6 cm for the 24” model and
2.5”/6.4 cm for the 30“ & 36” Unique models.
• Front edge of cooktop to front edge of vertical face of cabinets – 1.5”/3.8
cm for the 24” model and 2”/5.1 cm for the 30” & 36” Unique models.

All units must be installed in accordance to minimum rear and side wall clearances
and clearances extended vertically above cooking top which are stated on the serial
plate (the serial plate is located underneath the cooktop.)
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.
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.
A range hood with a minimum 350 CFM that projects at least 5” (12.7 cm) beyond
the front edge of cabinets can reduce the risk of burns caused by reaching over
heated surface units.
Do not install with a downdraft ventilation system.
If a 30”/76.2 cm clearance between cooking surface and overhead combustible
material or metal cabinets cannot be maintained, protect the underside of the
cabinets above the cooktop with not less than 1/4”/0.64 cm insulating millboard
covered with sheet metal not less than 0.0122”/0.03 cm thick. Clearance between the
cooking surface and protected cabinets MUST NEVER BE LESS THAN 24
INCHES/61 CM.
IN THE EVENT OVERHEAD CABINETS ARE INSTALLED, THE
MAXIMUM DEPTH OF CABINETS INSTALLED ABOVE COOKING TOPS
SHOULD BE 30”/76.2 CM.
The vertical distance from the plane of the cooking surface to the bottom of
adjacent overhead cabinets extending closer than 1”/2.5 cm to the plane of the
cooktop sides must not be less than 18”/45.8 cms.
