36" LP gas cooktop

For those who prefer gas heat for
cooking, the Monogram built-in
gas stainless steel cooktop offers
the cooking method of choice.

• Refer to “Installation Preparation” for

information on appropriate placement
and necessary clearances when planning
installation.

• Avoid placing cabinetry directly above

cooktop when possible.

• If cabinetry is used above cooking surface:

– Use cabinets no more than 13" deep.
– Maintain 30" minimum clearance between

cooktop and unprotected cabinets directly
above cooktop.

– If clearance is less than 30", protect cabinet

bottoms with flame-retardant millboard at
least 1/4" thick, or gysum board at least
3/16" thick, covered with 28 gauge sheet
steel or .02" thick copper.

cabinetry must not be less than 24".

– An exhaust hood that projects at least 5"

burns caused by reaching over heated
surface units.

– Working areas adjacent to the cooktop

should have 18" minimum clearance
between countertop and cabinet bottom.

• Use the Monogram gas stainless steel cook-

top with any 36" or wider exhaust hood with
350 CFM

or greater air flow rating.

• Installation must conform with local codes.

In the absence of local codes, the gas cook-
top must comply with the National Fuel Gas
