Cabinet and Countertop Layout
WARNING
• To reduce risk of injury from reaching over a hot cooktop, avoid
installing cabinets directly above the cooktop.
• Failure to meet or exceed the given maximum and minimum
dimensions/clearances may cause a fire hazard.
• Follow the countertop manufacturer’s instructions regarding the
minimum corner radius, use of heat reflective tape, reinforcement
of corners, etc.
• Carefully check the location where the cooktop will be
installed. For best performance, the cooktop should be placed
away from drafts that may be caused by doors, windows, and
heating and air conditioning vents.
• This appliance is to be used in conjunction with a suitable vent
hood or an approved Dacor downdraft vent.
Required Min. Clearances Around the Cooktop
See the following illustrations/notes for clearance allowances.
Model (A) Minimum (A) Recommended
HDCT304 30” (76.2 cm) 36” (91.4 cm)
HDCT365 36” (91.4 cm) 42” (106.7 cm)
Installation Specifications
Model (B) Minimum for clearance of hold-down brackets
HDCT304 29 in (73.7 cm)
HDCT365 35 1/4 in (89.5 cm)
• Allow at least ¼” (6 mm) clearance between the bottom of the
chassis and all combustible surfaces, including the upper edge
of a drawer inside the countertop cabinet below the cooktop.
• The gas-supply piping, shut-off valve, and power outlet must
be located so they do not interfere with the cooktop after it is
installed. If installing another appliance in the cabinet below,
allow for the routing of gas and electrical service behind it.
The installation must allow:
• access to the gas shut-off valve and regulator when the unit is
installed.
• the 40-inch (101.6 cm) power cord to reach a power outlet, and
that outlet must be easily accessible after installation.
• access to the bottom of the cooktop for service and inspection.
• clearance inside the counter for proper installation of the hold-
down brackets.
To allow underneath access to the utilities and cooktop bottom,
a fixed shelf should not be installed below the cooktop. See the
following pages for countertop cutout dimensions.
Downdraft Compatibility
If installing the cooktop with a downdraft, use only the approved
Dacor downdraft model numbers below:
