Cabinet Dimensions
IMPORTANT: If installing a range hood or microwave hood
combination above cooking surface, follow the range hood or
microwave hood combination installation instructions for
dimensional clearances above the cooktop surface.
NOTES: After making the countertop cutout, some installations
may require notching down the base cabinet side walls to clear
the cooktop base. To avoid this modification, use a base cabinet
with sidewalls wider than the cutout.
If cabinet has a drawer, a 5¹⁄
2
" (14.0 cm) depth clearance from
the top of the countertop to the top of the drawer (or other
obstruction) in base cabinet is required.
Electrical Requirements
If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is
recommended that a qualified electrical installer determine that
the ground path and wire gauge are in accordance with local
codes.
Check with a qualified electrical installer if you are not sure the
cooktop is properly grounded.
Make sure that the electrical connection and wire size are
adequate and in conformance with the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70-latest edition or CSA Standards C22.1-94,
Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1 and C22.2 No. O-M91-latest
edition, and all local codes and ordinances.

Before You Make the Electrical Connection:
To properly install your cooktop, you must determine the type of
electrical connection you will be using and follow the instructions
provided for it here.
A 3-wire or 4-wire, single phase, 120/240 volt, 60-Hz., AC only
electrical supply is required on a separate, 40-amp circuit fused
on both sides of the line. The model/serial number rating plate is
located on the metal cabinet underneath the cooktop.
See the following illustration.
