Check local codes and consult gas supplier. Check existing gas 
supply and electrical supply. See “Electrical Requirements” and 
“Gas Supply Requirements” sections.

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 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 flanges.

■

The gas and electric supply should be located as shown in 
“Installation Clearances” 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 to your cabinets, check with your 
builder or cabinet supplier to make sure that the materials used 
will not discolor, delaminate or sustain other damage.
