cooktop
■ 18" (45.7 cm) between the outside edge of the grill grate
and any downdraft vent grate.
■ To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over the
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 range
hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5" (12.7 cm)
beyond the bottom of the cabinets.

strong draft areas, such as windows, doors and strong
heating vents or fans.

Given dimensions are minimum clearances.
■ Grounded electrical supply is required. See “Electrical
Requirements” section. Proper gas supply connection must
be available. See “Gas Supply Requirements” section.
■ The cooktop is designed to hang from the countertop by its
side or rear flanges.
■ The gas and electric supply should be located as shown in
“Cabinet Dimensions” section so that they are accessible
without requiring removal of the cooktop.
■ Provide cutout in right rear corner of cutout enclosure as
shown to provide clearance for gas inlet, power supply cord,
and to allow the rating label to be visible.
■ If cabinet has drawers, drawers will need to be removed.
