I N S TA L L AT I O N Take measurements 1. Refer to the cooktop installation instructions for dimensions of cooktop, countertop cut-out, and cabinet requirements. However, it is recommended that oversized cabinets be used for easier installation. Custom island designs need to account for deeper cabinets, especially when mounting the blower behind the downdraft. You must also plan for an access door. Cut countertop opening 1. Lay out and cut the cooktop cut-out far enough FORWARD so downdraft will it behind it. 2. Set cooktop in place and slide it as far forward as possible without exposing any gaps. Center and square it with edges of countertop. Pay special attention to the areas of potential interference highlighted below. A countertop with (A) a raised lip and/or (B) a backsplash may not allow enough lat countertop for a proper installation. Note that a minimum of 2-7/8" (73 mm) of lat countertop is required behind cooktop (C) and that a minimum of 2-7/8" (73 mm) is necessary between the back edge of the cooktop and the inside of cabinet back (D).

Provide 1/2" (13 mm) clearance between the vent cutout and the backsplash. Any backsplash with a curved radius where it meets the counter will require additional clearance. Thicker backsplashes may be used by increasing the counter and cabinet depths. Set the cooktop into the coutertop opening so that the back edge of the cooktop overlaps the leading edge of the downdraft.
