CABINET PREPARATION AND
CLEARANCES
CAUTION
To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching
over heated surface units, 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 in. (127
mm) beyond the bottom of the cabinets. See C,
Page 2.
This unit is designed for installation in the counter top
with zero clearance to adjacent walls and projecting
surfaces constructed of combustible materials. A 30-
inch minimum clearance is required between the top
of the cooktop and the bottom of an unprotected
cabinet. A 24-inch minimum distance is necessary when
the bottom of the wood or metal cabinet is protected
by not less than 1/4 inch of a flame retardant material
covered with not less than No. 28 MSG sheet steel,
0.015-inch (0.4 mm) thick stainless steel, 0.024-inch
(0.6 mm) aluminum, or 0.020-inch (0.5 mm) thick
copper. Flame retardant materials bear the mark:
UNDERWRITERS LABORATORIES INC.
CLASSIFIED
MINERAL AND FIBER BOARDS
SURFACE BURNING CHARACTERISTICS
Followed by the flame spread and smoke ratings, these
designations are shown as “FHC (Flame Spread)/
(Smoke Developed).” Materials with “O” flame spread
ratings are flame retardant. Local codes may allow other
flame spread ratings.
The minimum horizontal clearance from the sides and
back edge of the cooktop to the adjacent vertical
combustible walls is zero inches.
COUNTERTOP CUTOUT
DIMENSIONS
The cutout dimensions depend upon whether the
installation is for replacement, new construction, or
installation in a solid surface countertop material, such
as Surel™, Corian
®
etc. These materials require larger
cutouts, use of heat reflective tape and rounded
corners. Drawings G and H provide some guidelines
only (see Page 4 and 5). Always consult the countertop
manufacturer for specific installation instructions.
INSTALLING THE COOKTOP
WARNING:
TO AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD,
BEFORE INSTALLING THE COOKTOP,
SWITCH POWER OFF AT THE SERVICE
PANEL AND LOCK THE PANEL TO
PREVENT THE POWER FROM BEING
SWITCHED ON ACCIDENTALLY.
Seal with foam tape
A foam tape is provided to seal the cooktop edges to
the countertop (see page 4). Turn cooktop upside down
and apply tape approximately 1/16” from the glass
edges. Use tape around the entire glass perimeter cut
off excess where tape ends butt.
Secure Cooktop to countertop
The cooktop should be secured to the countertop
using the hold-down brackets provided. Prior to
inserting cooktop into cutout, turn cooktop upside
down and attach brackets to the burner box using the
washers and screws.
Place cooktop into cutout. Insert clamping screws into
the brackets and secure cooktop to countertop.
Use a wood block to protect fragile countertop
materials.
