Cabinet and Countertop Layout

• To reduce the risk of personal injury caused by
reaching over a hot appliance, avoid locating cabinet
storage space directly above the cooktop.
• To reduce the risk of fire hazard, observe all specified
clearances.
• The back edge of the cooktop must be located a
minimum of 2 ½" (64 mm) from any combustible
backsplash material. Special cabinet and countertop
dimensions may be required.
• Follow the countertop manufacturer's instructions
regarding the minimum corner radius, use of heat
reflective tape, reinforcement of corners, etc.
• The cooktop is designed for a 24" (610 mm) minimum
base cabinet depth.
• 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.
• Plan the installation so that all clearances shown below
are met or exceeded. Dimensions shown provide
minimum and maximum clearances, unless otherwise
noted.

• The gas supply piping, gas shut-off valve and the elec-
trical outlet must be located so they do not interfere
with the cooktop when it is installed. If installing another
appliance in the cabinet below, allow for the routing of
gas and electrical service behind it.
The installation must allow for the following:
• Access to the gas shut-off valve and regulator when
the unit is installed.
• Access to the electrical outlet when the cooktop is in
place. The 40" (1016 mm) power cord must be able
reach the electrical outlet.
• Access to the underside of the cooktop for service and
inspection purposes.
• Clearance inside the cabinet to allow for proper hold
down bracket installation.
To allow access to the utilities and cooktop bottom, a fixed
shelf should not be installed below the cooktop.
