Check existing electrical supply. See "Electrical Requirements" section. It is recommended that all electrical connections be made by a licensed, qualified electrical installer. Location Requirements Make sure you have everything needed for correct installation. It is the responsibility of the installer to comply with the installation clearances specified in these instructions. IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances. When installing cooktop, use minimum dimensions given. ■■ To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over the 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 must be a specified cooktop that is approved to be installed either alone or over an undercounter built-in oven. Check the cooktop base for an approved installation label for your cooktop model number and approved combinations of cooktops and ovens that can be installed. If you do not find this label, your cooktop may not be approved for use over an undercounter built-in oven. Contact your dealer to confirm that your cooktop is approved. ■■ Ovens approved for this type of installation will have an approval label located on the top of the oven. If you do not find this label, contact your dealer to confirm that your oven is approved. Refer to oven manufacturer's Installation Instructions for approval for built-in undercounter use and proper cutout dimensions. ■■ Cabinet opening dimensions that are shown must be used. Given dimensions are minimum clearances. ■■ Grounded electrical supply is required. See "Electrical Requirements" section. IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to your cabinets, check with your builder or cabinet supplier to make sure that the materials used will not discolor, delaminate or sustain other damage. 2
