the burner box. To avoid this modification, use a base cabinet with
sidewalls wider than the cutout.
If cabinet has a drawer, a 3" (7.6 cm) depth clearance from the
countertop to the top of the drawer (or other obstruction) in base
cabinet is required.
When installing a hood above this cooktop, follow the installation
instructions included with the hood itself.
