2. DETERMINE PLACEMENT
Determine where the unit will be installed to conform with all
safety codes and the guidelines below. Unit may be safely
installed as near as 2" (5.08 cm) from any cabinet or wall if space
limitations require.
Installing cabinetry over the cooktop:
1. To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over heated
surface units, cabinet storage space located above the
surface units should be avoided.
2. 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.
3. A clearance of 30" (76.2 cm) minimum is required between
the top of the cooktop and the bottom of an unprotected
wood or metal cabinet.
4. A clearance of 18" (45.72 cm) minimum is required when the
bottom of a wood or metal cabinet is protected by not less
than 1/4" (0.635 cm) FLAME RETARDANT millboard covered
with not less than No. 28 MSG sheet steel, 0.015" (0.28 cm)
stainless steel or 0.024" (0.061 cm) aluminum or copper.

3. PROVIDE CUTOUT
After determining correct cooktop position using the guidelines,
make the cutout in the counter top (Refer to illustrations).
Cutout dimensions are critical. Dimensions must be
measured and cut accurately to within ± 1/16" (.16 cm) to
insure proper fit.
Cutout:
1. Chamfer all exposed edges of decorative laminate to prevent
damage from chipping.
2. Radius corners of cutout and file to insure smooth edges and
prevent corner cracking.
3. Rough edges, inside corners which have not been rounded
and forced fits can contribute to cracking of the countertop
laminate.
4. Countertop must be supported within 3" (7.62 cm) of cutout.
NOTE: Countertop must be flat below the cooktop from the
cutout to the edge of the glass. 13/16" is the distance from
the edge of cooktop glass to the edge of the cutout.
