INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

TOOLS AND PARTS
Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation. Read and follow the instructions provided with
any tools listed here.
Tools Reguired
• Tape Measure
• 1/4" (6.35 mm) Nut Driver
• Marker or Pencil
• Pliers
• Flat-Blade Screwdriver
Check local codes. Check existing electrical supply. (Refer to "Electrical Requirements" section on page 9.)
It is recommended that all electrical connections be made by a licensed, qualified technician.
LOCATION REQUIREMENTS
IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances. When installing cooktop, use minimum dimensions given.
• To eliminate the risk of burns or fire when 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 a specified cooktop that is approved to be installed either alone or over an
undercounter built-in oven. Check the cooktop base for an approved installation label. If you do not find this
label, contact your dealer to confirm that your cooktop is approved.
• The cooktop SHOULD be installed in a level countertop.
• Ovens approved for this type of installation will have an approval label located on the top of the oven.
If you do not find this label, contact your dealer to confirm that your oven is approved. (Refer to oven
manufacturer' s Installation Instructions for approval for built-in undercounter use and proper cutout
dimensions.)
• The cooktop SHOULD be installed away from strong draft areas, such as windows, doors, fans or strong
heating vents. The cooktop SHOULD be located for convenient use in the kitchen.
• Use the countertop opening dimensions that are given with these Installation Instructions. Given dimensions
are minimum clearances and provide 0" (0 cm) clearance.
• Grounded electrical supply is required. (Refer to "Electrical Requirements" section on page 9.)
LOCATION REQUIREMENTS
IMPORTANT: If installing a range hood or microwave hood combination above the cooktop, follow the range hood
or microwave hood combination installation instructions for dimensional clearances above the cooktop surface.
NOTE: 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.
