Installation
WARNING!
To eliminate the risk of burns by
reaching over heated surface units,
cabinet storage space located above
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.
Before making the countertop cutout, check for
clearance. Check to see if the unit will clear
the front and side walls of the base cabinet. It
is also important to provide enough ventilation.
Adequate ventilation of the space below the
countertop must be provided to ensure proper
operation of the unit. Heat transferred from
the unit bottom pan during operation will
overheat an improperly ventilated area.
2 INCH (51mm) MINIMUM
When making countertop cutout, radius the
corner to help prevent cracking of the countertop
material. A 1/4 inch radius is typical, but follow
the countertop manufacturer’s instructions
regarding the minimum radius and any
reinforcements required to prevent damage to
the countertop over time.
Use Plumber’s Putty to seal grill to countertop.
Plumber’s Putty is a soft, pliable sealing
compound that is used to make watertight seals
around faucets, drains, and other plumbing
parts.
Grill Drain Connection

For your convenience, the grill is equipped
with a 1/2” NPT brass pipe tting and 90º
brass elbow which you can attach the 5/8” ID
exible hose that came with your grill.

Remove the protective plastic lm from the
lid and ceramic glass. Clean the unit before
you use it for the rst time. A thorough cleaning
with a stainless steel or glass cleaner will
remove any traces of plastic lm adhesives and
manufacturing oils.
Wash the nonstick coated grates in warm
soapy water before using the grill.
Final Preparations Prior
to Use
Drain fitting for 5/8” ID hose
The putty is hidden under the ange, lip, or
edge of the grill and is not visible when the grill
is installed. If caulk were used instead of putty,
it would be difcult to access these areas to cut
through the caulk to remove the part.
Plumber’s Putty is a very inexpensive material
that is sold in small plastic tubs. It is always
shaped by hand before it is applied to the
plumbing part. Follow the basic instructions on
the container of the Plumber’s Putty. If your
countertop is made of granite, marble, quartz,
sandstone or Corian use a stain-free Plumber’s
Putty to prevent the staining of the countertop.
