Location Requirements
IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances. Do
not obstruct flow of combustion and ventilation air.
■ It is the installer’s responsibility to comply with installation
clearances specified on the model/serial rating plate. The
model/serial rating plate is located on the underside of the
cooktop base.
■ To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over heated
surface units, cabinet storage space located above the
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" (12.7 cm) beyond
the bottom of the cabinets.
■ The cooktop must be a specified cooktop that is approved to
be installed either alone or over an undercounter built-in oven.
Check the cooktop base approved installation label for your
cooktop model number and approved combinations of
cooktops and ovens that can be installed. If you do not find
this label, your cooktop may not be approved for use over an
undercounter built-in oven. Contact your dealer to confirm
that your cooktop is approved.
■ Ovens approved for this type of installation will have an
approval label located on the top of the oven. If you do not
find this label, contact your dealer to confirm that your oven is
approved. Refer to oven manufacturer’s Installation
Instructions for approval for built-in undercounter use and
proper cutout dimensions.
■ The cooktop should be installed in a location away from
strong draft areas, such as windows, doors and strong
heating vents or fans.
■ All openings in the wall or floor where cooktop is to be
installed must be sealed.
■ Cabinet opening dimensions that are shown must be used.
Given dimensions are minimum clearances.
■ Grounded electrical supply is required. See “Electrical
Requirements” section. Proper gas supply connection must
be available. See “Gas Supply Requirements” section.
■ The cooktop is designed to hang from the countertop by its
side or rear flanges.
■ The gas and electric supply should be located as shown in
“Cabinet Dimensions” section so that they are accessible
without requiring removal of the cooktop.
■ Provide cutout in right rear corner of cutout enclosure as
shown to provide clearance for gas inlet, power supply cord,
and to allow the rating label to be visible.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damage, check with your builder or
cabinet supplier to make sure that the materials used will not
discolor, delaminate or sustain other damage.
