PREPARE THE OPENING (FOR INDOOR USE ONLY)
If the countertop area is not flat, excess tension may be applied to the glass cooktop causing breakage
and voiding the warranty. Make sure the wall covering, countertop, flooring and cabinets around the range
can withstand the heat (up to 200˚F) generated by the range.
A. Allow 30" minimum clearance between surface units and bottom of unprotected wood or metal cabinet,
or allow a 24" minimum when bottom of wood or metal cabinet is protected by no less then 1/4" thick
flame retardant millboard covered with no less than No. 28 MSG sheet metal (.015" thick), .015" thick
stainless steel, .025" aluminum or .020" copper.
B. This appliance has been approved for 0" spacing to adjacent surfaces above the cooktop. However,
a minimum 6" spacing to surfaces less than 15" above the cooktop and adjacent cabinetry
is recommended to reduce exposure to steam, grease splatter and heat. Allow 1/4" minimum clearance
at the back wall.
To reduce the risk of burns or fire when reaching over hot surface elements, cabinet storage space above
the cooktop should be avoided. If cabinet storage space is to be provided above the cooktop, the risk can
be reduced by installing a range hood that projects at least 5" beyond the front of the cabinets. Cabinets
installed above the cooktop must be no deeper than 13".
