INSTALLING THE COOKTOP

2. Connect the duct system (if necessary,
see pages 1-4 through 1-9 for ducting re-
quirements).
NOTE: It may be easier to connect the cooktop
power supply wiring before it is installed in the
cabinet. If so, connect the conduit coming
from the cooktop to the electrical junction box
at this time (see pages 1-11 through 1-14).
Otherwise, install the cooktop first, and then
connect the electrical wiring.
3. Install the cooktop in the countertop cutout
and center it. Make sure that the front edge
of the cooktop is at least 1-
from the front edge of the countertop,
(1.9 cm) from the rear wall, and at least 6 "
(15.2 cm) from the side wall.
4. If not already done, connect the conduit
coming from the cooktop to the electrical
junction box (see "Electrical Supply Re-
quirements" on the following page.
