INSTALLATION OF ELECTRIC COOKTOP
•
The electric cooktop must be installed by a qualified technician. Make sure you have everything
necessary for correct installation. It is the installer’s responsibility to comply with installation
clearances specified in the manual.
•
Cabinet opening dimensions that are shown below must be used. Given dimensions are
minimum clearances. The minimum spacings must be maintained between the appliance
cooking surface and the horizontal surface above the cooking top.
•
30 inches is the minimum clearance between the top of the cooking surface and the bottom of
an unprotected wood or metal cabinet
•
To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over heated surface units, cabinet storage
space located above the surface units should be avoided. If cabinet storage is to be provided,
the risk can be reduced by installing a vent hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5
inches beyond the bottom of the cabinets.

Avoid locating the unit in moist areas. As this may result in the risk of electrical shock.
