WARNING!
To eliminate the risk of burns by
reaching over heated surface units,
cabinet storage space located above

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.

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.
To assure that the appliance works correctly,
the cooktop MUST be sufciently ventilated.
Since the appliance requires a sufcient
supply of fresh air to operate at maximum
performance, the cabinet must be designed
accordingly.
