Countertop Preparation
Please read this section prior to making cutout for cooktop.
It is important to plan ahead for installation of the cooktop, keeping the following dimensions in mind (please refer to
Figure A).
A - 13 inches maximum depth of overhead cabinets
B- 36inchesisminimumheightofcountertopaboveoor
C- Theminimumatcountertopsurfacethatthecooktopwillrestupon
must be equal to or greater than the overall cooktop dimensions (refer
to the following page for overall cooktop dimensions).
D - 30 inches minimum clearance between the top of the cooking surface and
the bottom of an unprotected wood or metal cabinet or 24 inch minimum
clearance when the bottom of wood or metal cabinet is protected by not
lessthan1/4-inch-thickameretardantmillboardcoveredwithnotlessthan
No. 28 MSG sheet steel, 0.015-inch-thick stainless steel, 0.024-inch-thick
aluminum or 0.020-inch-thick-copper.
E - 1-inch minimum from backsplash of countertop to edge of glass (refer to
the following page for overall cooktop dimensions).
“Do Not Install Closer Than 1/2 Inch (12 mm) From Any Adjacent Surface”,
and NE PAS INSTALLER A’MDINS DE 12MM DETOUTE SURFACE
ADJACENTE.
Before making the countertop cutout, check for clearance. Check to see if the cooktop will clear the front and side
walls of the base cabinet. It is also important to provide enough ventilation.
Adequate ventilation of the space below the
countertop must be provided to ensure proper
operation of the cooktop. Heat transferred from
the cooktop bottom pan during operation will
overheat an improperly ventilated area.

Warning: To eliminate the risk of burns by reaching over
heated surface units, cabinet storage space located above
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” beyond the bottom
of the cabinets.
