F. 19" (48.3 cm)
G. 18" (45.7 cm) minimum clearance from upper cabinet to
countertop within minimum horizontal clearances to cooktop
H. Grounded outlet - Locate within 24" (61 cm) of right rear
corner of cutout (with no undercounter built-in oven installed
below cooktop)
I. 29" (73.7 cm) on 30" models; 35¼" (89.5 cm) on 36" models
J. 8³⁄₈" (21.3 cm) minimum distance to nearest left and right side

K. 2⁷⁄₈" (7.3 cm) minimum distance to rear combustible surface
L. Gas line opening - Wall: Anywhere 5" (12.7 cm) below
underside of countertop. Cabinet floor: anywhere within
6" (15.2 cm) of rear wall is recommended (with no
undercounter built-in oven installed below cooktop)
M. 25" (63.5 cm) minimum countertop depth is required
NOTES: After making the countertop cutout, some installations
may require notching down the base cabinet side walls to clear
the cooktop base. To avoid this modification, use a base cabinet
with sidewalls wider than the cutout.
If cabinet has a drawer, a 4" (10.2 cm) depth clearance from the
countertop to the top of the drawer (or other obstruction) in base
cabinet is required. The drawer depth may need to be shortened
to avoid interfering with the regulator.
IMPORTANT: If an undercounter built-in wall oven is to be
installed below this cooktop, the grounded outlet (H) and gas
supply piping must be located in an adjacent cabinet.
This cooktop and its gas and electrical supply sources must be
installed before the undercounter built-in wall oven is installed.

A 120 volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 15-amp, fused electrical circuit is
required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is also
recommended. It is recommended that a separate circuit
serving only this cooktop be provided.
Electronic ignition systems operate within wide voltage limits,
but proper grounding and polarity are necessary. Check that
the outlet provides 120-volt power and is correctly grounded.
The wiring diagrams are provided with this cooktop. See
