Cabinet and Countertop Layout
WARNING
• To reduce the risk of personal injury caused by
reaching over a hot appliance, avoid locating cabinet
storage space directly above the cooktop.
• Failure to meet or exceed the maximum and mini-
mum dimensions/clearances stated in these instruc-
tions may result in a fire hazard.
- Follow the countertop manufacturer's instructions
regarding the minimum corner radius, use of heat
reflective tape, reinforcement of corners, etc.
Carefully check the location where the cooktop will be
installed. For best performance, the cooktop should be
placed away from drafts that may be caused by doors,
windows and heating and air conditioning outlets.
Allow a minimum 1/4" (6 mm) clearance between the
bottom of the cooktop chassis and all combustible sur-
faces, including the upper edge of a drawer installed
below the cooktop.
