INSTALLING CABINETRY OVER YOUR
JENN-AIR COOKTOP
A = 30² (76.2 cm) minimum vertical
clearance between
surface and construction above
the appliance. This clearance
may be reduced to not less than
24 inches (60.96 cm) by
protecting the underside of the
combustible material or metal
cabinet above the cooking
surface with not less than 1/4
inch (.635 cm)
millboard covered with sheet
metal not less than 0.0122 inch
thick*
B = 13² (33.02 cm) maximum depth
of cabinets installed above
cooking top.
Avoid use of cabinets above cooktop for storage space to eliminate
associated potential hazards such as reaching over open flames.

IMPORTANT PREPARATION SUGGESTIONS

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. Recommend 1/4² ² ² ² or 3/8² ² ² ² diameter drill in
each corner.
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 3² (7.62 cm) of cutout.
