Dacor DCT305SLPH Installation Instruction

Cabinet and Countertop Layout

•  Failure to meet or exceed the maximum and minimum 

dimensions/clearances stated in these instructions 

may result in a fire hazard.

•  Follow the countertop manufacturer’s instructions 

regarding the minimum corner radius, use of heat 

reflective tape, reinforcement of corners, etc.

•  Carefully check the location where the cooktop will be 

installed. For best performance, the cooktop should be 

placed away from drafts that may be caused by doors, 

windows and heating and air conditioning outlets. 

•  This appliance is to be used in conjunction with a suit-

able vent hood or approved Dacor raised vent system.

•  The gas supply piping, gas shut-off valve and the elec-

trical outlet must be located so that they do not inter-

fere with the cooktop when it is installed. If installing 

another appliance in the cabinet below, allow for the 

routing of gas and electrical service behind it.

The installation must allow for the following:
•  Access to the gas shut-off valve and regulator when 

the unit is installed. 

•  Access to the electrical outlet when the cooktop is in 

place. The 42” (106.7 cm) power cord must be able to 

reach the electrical outlet.

•  Access to the underside of the cooktop for service and 

inspection purposes.

•  Clearance inside the cabinet to allow for proper hold 

down bracket installation.

To allow access to the utilities and cooktop bottom, a fixed 

shelf should not be installed below the cooktop. See the fol-

lowing pages for countertop cutout dimensions.

Raised Vent Compatibility

Model DCT305 is not compatible with a raised vent. If 

installing cooktop model DCT365 with a raised vent, install 

only Dacor raised vent model ERV3615. Installation of any 

other raised vent model may cause improper operation.
