Installation Specifications 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 minimum dimensions/clearances stated in these instructions 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. • This appliance is to be used in conjunction with a suitable vent hood or approved Dacor raised vent system.

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" (101.6 cm) power cord must be able to 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. See the following pages for countertop cutout dimensions.
