Installation Preparation
INSTALLATION BELOW A COUNTERTOP
*NOTE: When installing the warming drawer below a cooktop, a solid barrier
must be installed at least 1” from the lowest point of the bottom of cooktop
burner box to the top of cutout. Use any solid material such as 1/4” thick
plywood. Allow at least 1/4” air gap between the barrier and the top of the
warming drawer. See label on top of the warming drawer for approved
cooktop models.
Installation below a cabinet drawer:
The warming drawer may be installed beneath a cabinet
drawer. In this installation, a solid barrier should be installed
above the warming drawer to block access. Use any solid
material such as 1/4” thick plywood. Allow at least 1/4”
air gap between the barrier and the top of the warming
drawer. Observe the 5” min. above the floor or 1” above the
toekick minimum installation height.
NOTE: If you are installing in frameless cabinets, it may
be necessary to install 1/2” wide cleats to accept drawer
mounting screws. See drawer to find exact locations of
mounting screws.
Side to Side Installation:
Install two warming drawers in separate cutouts.
Allow 2” min. between cutouts.
