IMPORTANT: These vents are
recommended for island installations.
Against-the-wall installations are
limited due to countertop depth
requirements. The vent and cooktop
combined depth requires an extra
deep flat countertop surface.
The countertop must be at least 26 deep
with a flat surface area of 23
1
2 or more, front
to back. (NOTE: Curved front models require
23
5
8 minimum flat surface area.) In addition,
other clearances to the front edge of the
countertop must be considered.
See specific cutout illustrations with your
cooktop model to determine requirements.
A countertop with
a raised lip or rolled
front edge may not
allow enough flat
area for installation.
