Positioning

the

cooktop

The

cooktop

is designed

to look

cooktop

must

be

located

between

wall studs

or floor joists

so that

properly.

At least

6" must

be allowed

between

Avoid placing

cabinets

above the

cooktop

unit,

if possible,

in order

to reduce

the hazards

caused

by reaching

over heated

surface

units.

If

cabinets

are placed

over the

cooMop,

the

risks

can be reduced

by installing

a range

hood

that

projects

horizontally

a minimum

of 5" beyond

the

bottom

of the

cabinets.

If cabinetry

is used

above cooktop, allow a

minimum

30" clearance

between

the cooking

surface

and the bottom

of any unprotected

cabinet.

If clearance

between

cooktop

and

cabinetry

is

less than

30", cabinet

bottom

must

be protected

with flame retardant

millboard

at least

1/4"

thick,

covered

with 28 gauge

sheet

steel

or

0.020" thick

copper.

Clearance

between

cooMop

and

protected

cabinetry

must

NEVER

BE LESS

THAN 24".

EXCEPTION:

Installation

of a listed

microwave

oven

or cooking

appliance

appliance.

A 15" minimum

must

be

kept

from

the

side

edge

of cooMop

to the

bottom

of any

cabinet

not

directly

above

cooMop.

If clearance

is less

than

15% adjacent

cabinets

should

be

at least

6" from

side

edge

of cooMop.

Step 2

Preparing

the

Base Cabinet

This cooktop

is designed

to fit

easily into

a variety

of

Howeveg

some

cabinets

may

require

modifications.

Preparing

sides

may

need

to

be scooped

or

cut

down

2"

as

and the

corner

braces

removed

in order

to accommodate

the

In 75 cm and

90 cm frameless
