Planning the Installation
Cabinet and Countertop Preparation
The installation of this built-in appliance must be
completed by a qualified appliance technician
or contractor. Proper installation is the owner's
responsibility.
Carefully check the location where the cooktop
is to be installed. The cooktop should be
placed for convenient access, but away from
drafts that may be caused by open doors and
windows or by HVAC duct outlets. Make certain
that gas and electrical power can be provided
in the selected locations. Plan the installation
so that all minimum clearances are met or
exceeded. Dimensions shown provide minimum
clearances, unless otherwise noted.
WARNINGS:
1. To reduce the risk of personal
injury caused by reaching over
a hot appliance, cabinet storage
space located directly above
the cooktop should be avoided.
2. Do not store combustible
materials or items adversely
affected by heat in cabinet
areas above the appliance.
WARNINGS:
1. Failure to provide proper
clearances may result in a fire
hazard!
2. Do not store combustible
materials or items adversely
affected by heat immediately
below the cooktop.
3. The back edge of the cooktop
must remain a minimum
of 2 1/2" (64mm) from any
combustible † backsplash
material. This will require
special cabinet and countertop
dimensions.
Installations with less than 2 1/2"
(64mm) from the rear of the cooktop
to a combustible † backsplash must
use Dacor Backguard model(s)
AEB3609, AEB3612, AEB4809,
AEB4812 or non-combustible
material.
†Refer to the latest edition of ANSI
Z223.1
IMPORTANT:
When installing the cooktop into
a laminated (Formica, etc.) or
synthetic (Corian, etc.) countertop,
radius the corners of the cutout
to prevent cracking of the
countertop. Follow the countertop
manufacturer's instructions
regarding the minimum corner
radius, use of heat reflective tape,
reinforcement of corners, etc.

NOTES:
1. If cabinet storage space is to
be provided directly above the
cooktop, the risk of personal
injury may be reduced by
installing a ventilating hood
that projects horizontally a
minimum of 5 inches (127mm)
beyond the face of the cabinets.
2. Access to the underside of
the cooktop, the electrical
connection, the gas shut-
off valve and the pressure
regulator must be provided for
inspection and service.
Plan the installation so that the electrical
connection, gas shut-off valve, and pressure
regulator are accessible from the front of the
cabinet, and that all of the minimum dimensions
are provided. Dimensions apply to all models
unless otherwise noted. Locate the electrical
supply box within reach of the included 48 inch
(1219mm) long flexible cord so the connection is
accessible when the cooktop is in place.
