Installation Preparation ADVANCE PLANNING • Refer to "Installation Preparation" for information on appropriate placement and necessary clearances when planning installation. • Avoid placing cabinetry directly above cooktop when possible. • If cabinetry is used above cooking surface: - Use cabinets no more than 13″ deep. - Maintain 30″ minimum clearance between cooktop and unprotected cabinets directly above cooktop. - If clearance is less than 30″, protect cabinet bottoms with flame-retardant millboard at least 1/4″ thick, or gypsum board at least 3/16″ thick, covered with 28 gauge sheet steel or .02″ thick copper. - Clearance between cooktop and protected cabinetry must not be less than 24″. - An exhaust hood that projects at least 5″ beyond front of cabinets can reduce risk of burns caused by reaching over heated surface units. - Working areas adjacent to the cooktop should have 18″ minimum clearance between countertop and cabinet bottom. • A 30″ or wider exhaust hood with 350 CFM or greater airflow rating is recommended for use over this Monogram cooktop. • Installation must conform with local codes. In the absence of local codes, the gas cooktop must comply with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, latest edition. • Gas supply should be located near the opening for this cooktop (see Preparing the Opening and Gas Connection sections of this manual). The supply should provide natural gas at 7″ of water column pressure (11″ of water column for LP gas) and a maximum of 14″ of water column for natural or LP gas. • The electric spark ignition feature for this model requires a 120V electrical power supply be located in the immediate vicinity of this cooktop (see Electrical Connections section of this manual). WB28T10185 High Altitude Kit For operation above 5,000 feet, order WB28T10185 Conversion Kit. This kit includes orifices for both LP and Natural gas operation. INSTALLATION OPTIONS Cooktop and ZVB30 Downdraft Vent Combination Installation These cooktops may be installed with a 30″ Monogram Downdraft Vent, model ZVB30. See page 12 for cutout and clearances. - The countertop must have a deep flat surface to accommodate the combined installation of the cooktop and vent. - The downdraft vent with blower, motor and ductwork will occupy the base cabinet. - Consideration must be given to electrical and gas supply locations. See page 8. Cooktop and ZTD910 or ZKD910 Warming Drawer Combination Installation These cooktops may be installed over a Monogram 30″ or 27″ Warming Drawer, model ZTD910 or ZKD910. See page 13 for cutout and clearances. - Consideration must be given to electrical and gas supply locations. See page 8. Cooktop and ZET1, ZEK938 or ZET938 Single Oven Combination Installation These cooktops may be installed over a Monogram 27″ or 30″ Oven, model ZET1, ZEK938 or ZET938. See page 14 for cutout and clearances. - Consideration must be given to electrical and gas supply locations. See page 8. Installation Above Cabinet Drawers • When installing the cooktop above a base cabinet with drawers, it may be necessary to use a shorter depth (front to back) drawer to allow clearance for the gas connection. 5
