Take measurements

1. Refer to the cooktop installation instructions for dimensions of
cooktop, countertop cut-out, and cabinet requirements. However,
it is recommended that oversized cabinets be used for easier
installation. Custom island designs need to account for deeper
cabinets, especially when mounting the blower behind the
downdraft. You must also plan for an access door.
Pay special attention to the areas of potential interference highlighted
below. A countertop with (A) a raised lip and/or (B) a backsplash may
not allow enough l at countertop for a proper installation. Note that
a minimum of 2-7/8" (73 mm) of l at countertop is required behind
cooktop (C) and that a minimum of 2-7/8" (73 mm) is necessary between
the back edge of the cooktop and the inside of cabinet back (D).

Installation with electric and induction cooktops

Dimension "BT" is thickness of
the backsplash. Provide 1/2"
(13 mm) clearance between the
vent cutout and the backsplash.
Any backsplash with a curved
radius where it meets the counter
will require additional clearance.
Thicker backsplashes may be used by
increasing the counter and cabinet
depths.
Set the cooktop into the coutertop
opening so that the back edge of the
cooktop overlaps the leading edge of
the downdraft.
