Minimum Clearances to Overhead Cabinets
30" (762mm) minimum clearance between the top of the cooking surface and the bottom
of an unprotected wood or metal cabinet;
or
24” (610mm) minimum when bottom of wood or metal cabinet is protected by a flame
retardant heat shield.
To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over the heated surface, cabinet storage
space located above the surface units should be avoided. If cabinet storage is to be
provided, the risk can be reduced by installing a range hood that projects horizontally a
minimum of 5" beyond the bottom of the cabinets
This Range can be installed as a Gimbaled or Built-in (stationary).
Gimbal Installation
Cutout Dimensions
:
Width: 25.4” (645 mm)
Depth: 21.65” (550 mm)
Height: 24.61” (625 mm)
The opening between the cabinets should be 25.40” (645mm) wide, a minimum of 21.65”
(550mm) deep and 24.61” (625mm) high for proper gimbal. The range requires a
minimum 1” (25mm) open space behind the range, and at least 2” (51mm) of space
below to allow the range to gimbal correctly.
Mount a gimbal bracket on each side of the opening, positioning the top edge of the
bracket 2.02” (51.3mm) below the countertop, and the front side of the bracket 8.03”
(204mm) back from the front edge of the cabinets. This will position the stove so that the
top of the cooking grill frame is flush with the countertop and the front of the unit will be
flush with the front surface of the adjacent cabinets.
Level each bracket and fasten with four #12 wood screws at least 1/2” in length. (Screws
not included)
Drill a 3/8” (10mm) hole on each side of the opening for the gimbal pin. Locate the hole
0.47” (12mm) in from the face of the cabinet and 5.55” (141mm) below the countertop.
Fasten the gimbal lock plate over the hole using two # 8 wood screws at least 3/8” in
length. (Screws not included)
Carefully lift the stove into position so that the gimbal pins slide into the brackets. Gently
pry the safety tabs of the bracket inward, toward the stove so that they protrude over the
gimbal pins.
Make sure the stove swings freely at least 15 degrees. Check to ensure the gimbal lock
pins slide into the hole you drilled.
