Refer to the cooktop installation instructions for dimensions of cooktop, countertop cut-out, and cabinet requirements. The Models VIPR102SS and VIPR102RSS will fit in most 30" wide cabinets the Models VIPR162SS and VIPR162RSS will fit in most 36" wide cabinets and the Models VIPR182SS and VIPR182RSS will fit most 48" wide cabinets. However, it is recommended that oversized cabinets be used for easier installation. 2. Cooktop depth can vary greatly from one to another. This may cause the fit of these two appliances to be rather tight. Pay special attention to the areas of potential interference highlighted above. A countertop with (A) a raised lip and/or (B) a backsplash may not allow enough flat countertop for a proper installation. Note that 2" of flat countertop is required behind cooktop and that 1-3/4" is necessary between the back edge of the cooktop and the inside of cabinet back. 2
