Jenn-Air CVGX2423B Installation Instruction - Page 3

Location Of Your Jenn-Air Appliance Locate this appliance away from combustible materials such as window curtains and combustible wall decorations. The minimum horizontal clearance between the edge of the appliance and adjacent combustible construction is: S 0.75 inches (1.90 cm) at rear; S 2 inches (5.08 cm) at sides These minimum clearances pertain to vertical surfaces between the countertop level and a level 18² above the countertop. Figure 1: Minimum Horizontal Clearance NOTE: These are not recommended clearances, but rather the minimum allowable clearances. Overall performance of your cooktop will be enhanced by providing a 6² or greater clearance on either side of the unit. Installing Cabinetry Over Your Cooktop Observe the following clearances to overhead cabinetry. Figure 2 Minimum Clearances to Overhead Cabinetry A = 30 inches (76.2 cm) minimum vertical clearance between cooking surface and combustible construction or metal cabinets above the appliance. This clearance may be reduced to not less than 24 inches by protecting the underside of the combustible material or metal cabinet above the cooking surface with not less than 1/4-inch insulating millboard covered with sheet metal not less than 0.0122-inch thick.* B = 13 inches (33.0) maximum depth of cabinets installed above cooking surface. CAUTION: Avoid use of cabinets above cooktop for storage to eliminate potential hazard of reaching over open flames. Preparation Of Countertop The cutout in the countertop into which the appliance is to be installed should be prepared according to the cutout dimensions given on page 1 of these instructions. CAUTION: Cutout dimensions are critical. Dimensions must be measured and cut accurately to within ± 1/16² to ensure proper fit. Important Installation Suggestions: 1. Chamfer all exposed edges of decorative countertop laminate to prevent damage from chipping. 2. Slightly radius corners of cutout and file to insure smooth edges and prevent corner cracking. 3. Rough edges, inside corners which have not been rounded and forced fits can contribute to cracking of the countertop laminate. 4. Unit must be supported on all four sides by the countertop and countertop must be supported within 3² of edge of cutout. WARNING THIS PRODUCT SHOULD NOT BE INSTALLED BELOW A VENTILATION TYPE HOOD SYSTEM THAT DIRECTS AIR IN A DOWNWARD DIRECTION. (SEE FIGURE) THESE SYSTEMS MAY CAUSE IGNITION AND COMBUSTION PROBLEMS WITH THE GAS BURNERS RESULTING IN PERSONAL INJURY AND MAY AFFECT THE COOKING PERFORMANCE OF THE UNIT. NOTE: THE FIGURE MAY NOT ACCURATELY REPRESENT YOUR RANGE OR COOKTOP; HOWEVER, THIS WARNING APPLIES TO ALL GAS COOKING PRODUCTS. *Jenn-Air Over-the-Range microwave ovens (model #M418 and M438) have been listed by UL for use over Gas and Electric Ranges. When properly installed at a minimum height of 66 inches from the floor to the top of the microwave, the clearance to the cooking surface at the center will be 13-3/4 inches. 2
