A. 30" (76.2 cm) on 30" (76.2 cm) models; 36" (91.4 cm) on
36" (91.4 cm) models
B. Combustible area above countertop (shown by dashed box above)
C. 30" (76.2 cm) minimum clearance between top of cooktop platform
and bottom of uncovered wood or metal cabinet (24" [61.0 cm]
minimum clearance if bottom of wood or metal cabinet is covered
by not less than 1/4"[0.6 cm] flame retardant millboard covered with
not less than No. 28 MSG sheet steel, 0.015" [0.04 cm] stainless
steel, or 0.024" [0.06 cm] aluminum or 0.020" [0.05 cm] copper). If
installing a range hood see NOTES. *
D. 13" (33.0 cm) recommended upper cabinet depth
E. l _" (2.8 cm)
F. 20" (50.8 cm)
G. 18" (45. 7 cm) minimum clearance from upper cabinet to countertop
within minimum horizontal clearances to cooktop
H. Grounded outlet- Locate within 24" (61.0 cm) of right rear corner of
cutout
I. 29" (73. 7 cm) on 30" (76.2 cm) models; 35¼" (89.5 cm) on
36" (91.4 cm) models
J. 24" (61.0 cm) minimum countertop depth is required
K. 2 _" (7.3 cm) minimum distance to rear combustible surface
L. Gas line opening - Wall: anywhere 5" (12. 7 cm) below underside of
countertop. Cabinet floor: anywhere within 6" (15.2 cm) of rear wall
is recommended
M. 8" (20.3 cm) minimum distance to nearest left side combustible
surface. **
N. 8" (20.3 cm) minimum distance to nearest right side combustible
surface. **
30" (76.2 cm) Cooktop Overall: M + N must equal 48" (122.0 cm)
minimum + 29" (73.7 cm) cutout for cooktop or 77" (195.6 cm)
36" (91.4 cm) Cooktop Overall: M + N must equal 48" (122.0 cm)
minimum + 35¼" (89.5 cm) cutout for cooktop or 83¼" (211.5 cm)
•*M + N combined must be at least 48" (122.0 cm) minimum overall
Example 1: M = 8" (20.3 cm) left side + N = 40" (101.6 cm) right side
= 48" (122.0 cm)
Example 2: M = 24" (61.0 cm) left side + N = 24" (61.0 cm) right side
= 48" (122.0 cm)
NOTES:
After making the countertop cutout, some installations may
require notching down the base cabinet side walls to clear the
cooktop base. To avoid this modification, use a base cabinet with
sidewalls wider than the cutout.
If cabinet has a drawer, a 4" (10.2 cm) depth clearance from the
countertop to the top of the drawer (or other obstruction) in base
cabinet is required. The drawer depth may need to be shortened
to avoid interfering with the regulator.

Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
IMPORTANT: The cooktop must be electrically grounded in
accordance with local codes and ordinances, or in the absence
of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70
or Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1.
If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is
recommended that a qualified electrical installer determine that
the ground path is adequate.
A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from:

• A 120 volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 15-amp, fused electrical circuit is
required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is also
recommended. It is recommended that a separate circuit
serving only this cooktop be provided.
• Electronic ignition systems operate within wide voltage limits,
but proper grounding and polarity are necessary. Check that
the outlet provides 120-volt power and is correctly grounded.
• The Tech Sheet provided is located inside the cooktop on the
left wall of the cooktop base.
