Ventilation
To reduce the risk of personal injury and to reduce accu-
mulated smoke in the room, Dacor strongly recommends
installing a vent hood or raised vent. Install the vent hood
or raised vent according to the accompanying installation
instructions. A vent hood should cover the entire cooking
surface below it.
If installing the cooktop with a raised vent, install only the
following approved Dacor model numbers:
Cooktop Models
Approved Raised Vent Models
ETT304-1 MET304
ERV30, PRV30 or RV30
ETT365-2 METB365-1
ERV36, PRV36 or RV36
Raised vent installation must allow room for the stiffener
bar on the back of the raised vent chassis. See below.
WARNING
IMPORTANT:
•
Observe all governing codes and ordi-
nances during planning and installation. Contact your
local building department for further information.
To reduce the risk of a fire hazard, all minimum/maxi-
•
mum clearances shown must be met or exceeded.
When installing model ETT365-2 or METB365-1 and
•
the bottom of the chassis is to be enclosed wall to
wall, you must install ventilation duct kit ATD323. See
the duct installation instructions for cutout require-
ments.
Planning the Location
Dacor recommends installing a non-combustible mate-
•
rial on the rear wall behind the cooktop.
Carefully check the location where the cooktop is to be
•
installed. It should be placed for convenient access.
To reduce the risk of personal injury caused by reach-
•
ing over a hot appliance, cabinet storage space located
directly above the cooktop should be avoided.
Make certain that electrical power meeting the speci-
•
fications on page 3 can be provided in the selected
location. Verify that the electrical location is permitted
by local building codes. Locate the junction box within
reach of the included 48 inch long (1219 mm) cooktop
power conduit attached at the bottom right rear of the
chassis. Do not lengthen the wiring. Make sure the
underside of the cooktop and the junction box are
accessible for inspection and service.
Cabinet Layout
Under Counter Clearance
Allow a minimum of six(6) inches (152 mm) clearance
•
between the base of the glass cooktop frame and any
combustible surface below, including the upper edge
of drawers below the cooktop. Proper under-cabinet
clearance is also required for the cooktop hold down
brackets.
