Step #3
Countertop Preparation
Please read this section prior to making cutout for the cooktop.
It is important to plan ahead for installation of the cooktop, keeping the
following dimensions in mind (please refer to Fig. 2).
13 inches maximum depth of overhead
A.
cabinets
36 inches is minimum height of countertop
B.
above floor
The minimum flat countertop surface that
C.
the cooktop will rest upon must be equal
to or greater than the overall cooktop
dimensions (refer to the following pages
for overall cooktop dimensions).
30 inches minimum clearance between
D.
the top of the cooking surface and the
bottom of an unprotected wood or metal
cabinet or 24 inch minimum clearance
when the bottom of wood or metal cabinet
is protected by not less than ¼-inch-thick
flame retardant millboard covered with not
less than No. 28 MSG sheet steel, 0.015-inch-thick stainless steel,
0.024-inch-thick aluminum or 0.020-inch-thick copper.
1-inch minimum from backsplash of countertop to edge of glass (refer to
E.
the following pages for overall cooktop dimensions).
Do not install closer than ½ inch (12 mm) from any adjacent surface!
WARNING: To eliminate the risk of burns by reaching over
heated surface units, cabinet storage space located above
surface units should be avoided. If cabinet storage is
necessary, the risk can be reduced by installing a range hood
that projects horizontally a minimum of 5" beyond the bottom
of the cabinets.
Before making the countertop cutout, check for clearance. Check to see if
the cooktop will clear the front and side walls of the base cabinet. It is also
important to provide enough ventilation.
