Carefully check the location where the cooktop will be 

installed. For best performance, the cooktop should be

Installation Specifications

• 

Allow a minimum ¼” (6 mm) clearance between the 

bottom of the cooktop chassis and all combustible sur-

faces, including the upper edge of a drawer installed 

below the cooktop.

Under Cabinet Clearances

• 

The gas supply piping, gas shut-off valve and the elec-

trical outlet must be located so that they do not inter-

fere with the cooktop when it is installed. If installing 

another appliance in the cabinet below, allow for the 

routing of gas and electrical service behind it.

The installation must allow for the following:

• 

Access to the gas shut-off valve and regulator when 

the unit is installed. 

• 

Access to the electrical outlet when the cooktop is in 

place. The 42” (106.7 cm) power cord must be able to 

reach the electrical outlet.

• 

Access to the underside of the cooktop for service and 

inspection purposes.

• 

Clearance inside the cabinet to allow for proper hold 

down bracket installation.

To allow access to the utilities and cooktop bottom, a fixed 

shelf should not be installed below the cooktop. See the fol-

lowing pages for countertop cutout dimensions.
