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 dimensions in mind (please refer to

Figure A).

A - 13 inches maximum depth of overhead cabinets

B - 36 inches is minimum height of countertop above floor

C - The minimum flat 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 flame 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.

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.

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.
