Location Requirements IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances. Do not obstruct flow of combustion and ventilation air. Installation Clearances ■ It is the installer's responsibility to comply with installation clearances specified on the model/serial rating plate. The model/serial rating plate is located on the underside of the cooktop base. A D A C B A. Model/serial rating plate ■ To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over heated surface units, cabinet storage space located above the surface units should be avoided. If cabinet storage is to be provided, the risk can be reduced by installing a range hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5" (12.7 cm) beyond the bottom of the cabinets. ■ The cooktop should be installed in a location away from strong draft areas, such as windows, doors and strong heating vents or fans. ■ All openings in the wall or floor where cooktop is to be installed must be sealed. ■ Cabinet opening dimensions that are shown must be used. Given dimensions are minimum clearances. ■ Grounded electrical supply is required. See "Electrical Requirements" section. Proper gas supply connection must be available. See "Gas Supply Requirements" section. ■ The cooktop is designed to hang from the countertop by its side flanges. ■ The gas and electric supply should be located as shown in "Installation Clearances" section so that they are accessible without requiring removal of the cooktop. ■ Provide cutout in right rear corner of cutout enclosure as shown to provide clearance for gas inlet, power supply cord, and to allow the rating label to be visible. IMPORTANT: To avoid damage, check with your builder or cabinet supplier to make sure that the materials used will not discolor, delaminate or sustain other damage.

Gas line opening - Wall: anywhere 5" (12.7 cm) below underside of countertop. Cabinet floor: anywhere within 6" (15.2 cm) of rear wall is recommended M. 8" (20.3 cm) minimum distance to nearest left side combustible surface.** N. 8" (20.3 cm) minimum distance to nearest right side combustible surface.** 30" (76.2 cm) Cooktop Overall: M + N must equal 48" (122.0 cm) minimum + 29" (73.7 cm) cutout for cooktop or 77" (195.6 cm) 36" (91.4 cm) Cooktop Overall: M + N must equal 48" (122.0 cm) minimum + 35¼" (89.5 cm) cutout for cooktop or 83¼" (211.5 cm) **M + N combined must be at least 48" (122.0 cm) minimum overall Example 1: M = 8" (20.3 cm) left side + N = 40" (101.6 cm) right side = 48" (122.0 cm) Example 2: M = 24" (61.0 cm) left side + N = 24" (61.0 cm) right side = 48" (122.0 cm) NOTES: After making the countertop cutout, some installations may require notching down the base cabinet side walls to clear the cooktop base. To avoid this modification, use a base cabinet with sidewalls wider than the cutout. If cabinet has a drawer, a 4" (10.2 cm) depth clearance from the countertop to the top of the drawer (or other obstruction) in base cabinet is required. The drawer depth may need to be shortened to avoid interfering with the regulator. *If installing a hood above the range, follow the hood instructions for dimensional clearances above the cooktop surface. 3
