Grill is supplied with a factory
installed polished stainless steel ange that
accepts four oval head wood screws for
mounting. The trim ange of the grill is designed
to hold the unit rmly in place in the countertop.
If desired, you may seal the edge of the
countertop beneath the trim ange. Use a soft
bedding compound that will prevent damage
if later removal for service is necessary. We
recommend a nonadhesive type of sealant,
such as plumber’s putty, maximum
compressed thickness of 1/16”.. Should you
need to remove the unit from the countertop
after installation simply take a piece of shing
line and run back and forth under the trim ange
to break the caulk bond.
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 the
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-think stainless steel,
0.024-inch-thick aluminum or 0.020-inch-thick-
copper.
E - 1-inch minimum from backsplash of
countertop to edge of grill(refer to page 5 for
overall grill dimensions). 1-1/2 inches minimum
from front of counter to grill.
It is important to plan ahead for installation of
the grill, keeping the following dimensions in
mind.
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
grill will rest upon must be equal to or greater
than the overall grill dimensions (refer to page 5
for overall grill dimensions).

WARNING!
Allow a 2 inch (2”) minimum clearance
between the bottom of the grill and
combustible surface located below, ie:
the upper edge of a drawer installed
below the grill (see diagram on
page 16). Failure to provide proper
clearances and ventilation may result
in a re hazard.
