Cabinet and Countertop Layout
WARNING
• To reduce the risk of personal injury caused by
reaching over a hot appliance, avoid locating cabinet
storage space directly above the cooktop.
• Failure to meet or exceed the maximum and mini-
mum dimensions/clearances stated in these instruc-
tions may result in a fire hazard.
• Follow the countertop manufacturer’s instructions
regarding the minimum corner radius, use of heat
reflective tape, reinforcement of corners, etc.
• Carefully check the location where the cooktop will be
installed. For best performance, the cooktop should be
placed away from drafts that may be caused by doors,
windows, and heating and air conditioning vents.
• This appliance is to be used in conjunction with a suit-
able vent hood or approved Dacor downdraft vent.
Refer to the following illustrations and notes for clearance
allowances.

• Allow a minimum 1/4” (6 mm) clearance between the
bottom of the cooktop chassis and all combustible sur-
faces, including the upper edge of a drawer inside the
countertop cabinet below the cooktop.
• The gas supply piping, gas shut-off valve, and the elec-
trical outlet must be located so they do not interfere
with the cooktop after 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.
• The 40-inch (101.6 cm) power cord must be able to
reach an electrical outlet, and that electrical outlet must
be easily accessible after the cooktop is installed.
• Access to the underside of the cooktop for service and
inspection purposes.
• Clearance inside the counter to allow for correct instal-
lation of the hold-down brackets.
To allow underneath access to the utilities and cooktop
bottom, a fixed shelf should
not
be installed below the
cooktop. See the following pages for countertop cutout
dimensions.
Downdraft Compatibility
If installing the cooktop with a downdraft, use only the
approved Dacor downdraft model numbers below:
