*NOTE: Before cutting countertop cutout, check the inside
clearance available from the inside back wall to the proposed
placement of the cooktop. A minimum of 1 1/4” (3.2 cm) is re-
quired from the back wall of the cooktop to the inside wall of
the back cabinet. (See page 5) This may require a
distance
greater than the 0” minimum approved distance.
INTERIOR CABINET CLEARANCES
IMPORTANT: The electronic components for the in-
duction elements in the cooktop need some air circula-
tion. To ensure long life of electronic components, it is
required that a minimum of 8” (20.3 cm) open space re-
main between the bottom of the cooktop and any shelf
underneath. The maximum length of the shelf under-
neath is 18” (45.7cm). There should be no partition or
shelf directly underneath the unit.
It is also required that the exit air ports at the rear are
not blocked. There should be a minimum of 1 1/4” (3.2
cm) space between the exit air ports at the rear of the
unit and any nearby obstruction including downdrafts.
