Before you start...

Your safety and the safety of
others are very important.
We have provided many important
safety messages in this manual and
on your appliance. Always read and
obey all safety messages.
This is the safety alert
symbol.
This symbol alerts you to
potential hazards that can kill or hurt
you and others.
All safety messages will follow the
safety alert symbol and either the
word "DANGER" or "WARNING".
These words mean:
DANGER
You can be killed or seriously
injured if you don't immediately
follow instructions.
WARNING
You can be killed or seriously
injured if you don't follow
instructions.
All safety messages will tell you
what the potential hazard is, tell you
how to reduce the chance of injury,
and tell you what can happen if the
instructions are not followed.
Proper installation is your responsibility.
Make sure you have everything for
correct installation. It is the
responsibility of the installer to comply

To eliminate the risk of burns by
reaching over heated surface units,
cabinet storage space located above
the surface units should be avoided.

the risk can be reduced by installing
a range hood that projects
horizontally a minimum of 5 inches
(12.7 cm) beyond the bottom of the
cabinets.

your dealer to confirm that cooktop is
approved. The label on the bottom of
your cooktop lists the cooktop and oven
combinations that are approved for this
type of installation.

proper cutout dimensions.
When installing cooktop over a built-
under oven, Do not fasten cooktop to

windows, doors and strong heating
vents or fans. The cooktop should be
located for convenient use in the
