BUILT-INCOOKTOP SAFETY
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:
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately
follow
instructions.
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.

Read and follow the instructions
provided with any tools listed
here.

1" (2.5 cm) mounting screws (4)

Check local codes. Check existing electrical supply. See
"Electrical Requirements."
It is recommended
that all electrical connections
be made by a
licensed, qualified electrical installer.
IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
When installing cooktop,
use minimum dimensions given.
•
To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over the
heated surface units, cabinet storage space located above
the surface units should be avoided. 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.
•
The cooktop must be a specified cooktop that is approved to
be installed either alone or over an undercounter
built-in
oven. Check the cooktop base approved installation label for
your cooktop model number and approved combinations
of
cooktops and ovens that can be installed. If you do not find
this label, your cooktop may not be approved for use over an
undercounter
built-in oven. Contact your dealer to confirm
that your cooktop is approved.
•
Ovens approved for this type of installation will have an
approval label located on the top of the oven. If you do not
find this label, contact your dealer to confirm that your oven is
approved. Refer to oven manufacturer's
Installation
Instructions for approval for built-in undercounter
use and
proper cutout dimensions.
•
When installing cooktop over an undercounter
built-in oven,
do not fasten cooktop to countertop with screws. This will
make the cooktop easier to remove if future servicing
becomes necessary.
•
Use the countertop opening dimensions that are given with
these Installation Instructions. Given dimensions are
minimum clearances and provide 0" (0 cm) clearance.
•
Grounded electrical supply is required. See "Electrical
Requirements"
section.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to your cabinets, check with your
builder or cabinet supplier to make sure that the materials used
will not discolor, delaminate or sustain other damage.
