In Canada, the installation of this range must conform with the
current standards CAN/CSA-Z240.1, latest edition, or with local
codes.
Cabinet Dimensions
IMPORTANT: If installing a range hood or microwave hood
combination above the cooking surface, follow the range hood or
microwave hood combination installation instructions for
dimensional clearances above the cooktop surface.

with sidewalls wider than the cutout.
� A minimum side clearance of 6" (15.2 cm) is recommended
between side of cooktop and side wall for maximum ventilation
performance.

Venting Requirements

IMPORTANT: This cooktop must be exhausted outdoors unless
using the Duct-Free Filter Accessory Kit. See the "Venting
Methods" section.
� Do not terminate the vent system in an attic or other enclosed
area.
� Use a vent cap.
� Vent system must terminate to the outside.
� Use only a 6" (15.2 cm) round metal vent. Rigid metal vent is
recommended. For best performance, do not use plastic or
metal foil vent.
� Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance
within the wall or floor for the exhaust vent.
� Do not cut a joist or stud unless absolutely necessary. If a joist
or stud must be cut, then a supporting frame must be
constructed.
� The size of the vent should be uniform.
� The vent system must have a damper.
� Use vent clamps to seal all joints in the vent system.
� Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around the
cap.
� Determine which venting method is best for your application.
