Cabinet and Countertop Layout
WARNING
• To reduce risk of burn injury from reaching over a hot appliance, do not
hang cabinets above the cooktop.
• Failure to meet or exceed the max/min dimensions and clearances in
this manual may cause a fire hazard.
• Follow the countertop manufacturer’s instructions regarding minimum
corner radius, use of heat-reflective tape, corner reinforcement, etc.
• Carefully check the cooktop location site. For best perfor-
mance, the cooktop should be near drafts from open doors/
windows, and heating/air-conditioning vents.
• This appliance is to be used with a suitable vent hood or
approved Dacor downdraft vent.

• The gas-supply piping, gas shut-off valve, and the electrical
outlet must be located so as not to impede cooktop installa-
tion. If installing an appliance below the cooktop, allow for
gas/electrical routing behind it.
Installation must allow:
• access to the gas shut-off valve and regulator
• access to the electrical outlet; the 42” (106.7 cm) power cord
must be able to reach its intended outlet.
• access to the cooktop bottom for service/inspection.
• space in the cabinet for the cooktop hold-down brackets.
Do not install a fixed shelf below the cooktop.
Downdraft Compatibility
If installing the cooktop with a downdraft, use only the approved
Dacor downdraft model numbers below.
