NOTES: After making the countertop cutout, some installations
may require notching down the base cabinet side walls to clear
the burner box. To avoid this modification, use a base cabinet
with sidewalls wider than the cutout.
If cabinet has a drawer, a 3¼" (9.6 cm) depth clearance from the
countertop to the top of the drawer (or other obstruction) in base
cabinet is required.
