Countertop Preparation
Please read this section prior to making cutout for cooktop.
It is important to plan ahead for installation of the cooktop, keeping the following dimen-
sions in mind (please refer to Figure A).
A - 13 inches maximum depth of overhead cabinets
B-36inchesisminimumheightofcountertopaboveoor
C-Theminimumatcountertopsurfacethatthecooktop
will rest upon must be equal to or greater than the overall
cooktop dimensions (refer to the following page for overall
cooktop dimensions).
D - 30 inches minimum clearance between the top of the cooking
surface and the bottom of an unprotected wood or metal
cabinet or 24 inch minimum clearance when the bottom of
wood or metal cabinet is protected by not less than 1/4-inch-
thick ameretardant millboard coveredwith not lessthan
No. 28 MSG sheet steel, 0.015-inch-thick stainless steel,
0.024-inch-thick aluminum or 0.020-inch-thick-copper.
E - 1-inch minimum from backsplash of countertop to edge
of glass (refer to the following page for overall cooktop
dimensions).
“Do Not Install Closer Than 1/2 Inch (12 mm) From Any
Adjacent Surface”, and NE PAS INSTALLER A’MDINS DE
12MM DETOUTE SURFACE ADJACENTE.
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 cooktop 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 cooktop. Heat transferred from
the cooktop bottom pan during operation will
overheat an improperly ventilated area.
