clearances.
The back edge of the cooktop must be located a
minimum of 2 %" (64 mm) from any combustible
backsplash material. Special cabinet and countertop
dimensions may be required.
Follow the countertop manufacturer's instructions
regarding the minimum corner radius, use of heat
reflective tape, reinforcement of corners, etc.
The cooktop is designed for a 24" (610 mm) minimum
base cabinet depth.
Carefully check the location where the cooktop will be
installed. For best performance, the cooktop should be
placed away from drafts that may be caused by doors,
windows and heating and air conditioning outlets.
• Plan the installation so that all clearances shown below
are met or exceeded. Dimensions shown provide
minimum and maximum clearances, unless otherwise
noted.
All tolerances +1/16"-0 (+1.6 mm 0)
