When installing cooktop, use at least minimum dimensions given.
To reduce the risk of burns or fire by reaching over heated

be installed within a countertop.
Check the cooktop burner
box for an approved installation label. If you do not find this
label, contact your dealer to confirm that your cooktop is
approved.

opening dimensions that are given with
these Installation Instructions. Given dimensions are
minimum clearances and provide 0" (0 cm) clearance.
The cooktop should be installed away from strong draft
areas, such as windows, doors or fans and strong heating
vents or fans. The cooktop should be located for convenient
use in the kitchen.
