Check local codes and consult gas supplier. Check existing gas 
supply and electrical supply. See “Electrical Requirements” and 
“Gas Supply Requirements” sections.
It is recommended that all electrical connections be made by a 
licensed, qualified electrical installer.
Location Requirements
IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances. 
When installing cooktop, use minimum dimensions given.
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 side of the downdraft 
plenum.
To provide satisfactory performance, the minimum spacing 
requirements when installing this downdraft cooktop in 
combination with other downdraft cooktops is to be:
4
³⁄₈" (11.1 cm) between the edges of any downdraft 
cooktop
18" (45.7 cm) between the outside edge of the grill grate 
and any downdraft vent grate. 
To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over the 
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 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.
If cabinet has drawers, drawers will need to be removed.
IMPORTANT: An undercounter built-in oven cannot be installed 
under this product.
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.
