ADVANCE PLANNING
Refer to “Dimensions and Clearances” for appropriate
placement and necessary clearances when planning
the installation.
• Cabinetry cannot be installed directly above the
cooktop.
• We recommend the installation of a vent hood above
the cooktop surface.
– The vent hood must be at least 24" deep.
– The vent hood must be at least the same width as
the cooktop.
– For 48" models, we recommend the vent hood
blower be 1200 CFM.
– For 36" models, we recommend the vent hood
blower be 600 CFM.
• Refer to hood installation instructions for height
dimensions.
• Working areas adjacent to the cooktop should have
18" minimum clearance between countertop and
cabinet bottom.
• Clearance between cooktop and side wall or
combustible material must be at least 12" on
each side.
• These cooktops require 8" free space below the
countertop to house the burner box. Additional
clearance is required below the burner box for the
gas regulator and connections. Connections should
be routed to limit interference with drawers or other
cabinetry features.
• Allow 12" min. clearance at the back to combustible
materials.
• Allow 36" min. above the cooking surface to
combustible materials.
• Installation must conform with local codes. In the
absence of local codes, the gas cooktop must comply
with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA.54,
latest edition. In Canada, installation must conform
with the current Natural Gas Installation Code,
CAN/CGA-B149.1 or the current Propane Installation
Code, CAN/CGA-B149.2, and with local codes where
applicable. This cooktop has been design-certified by
CSA International according to ANSI Z21.1, latest
edition and Canadian Gas Association according to
CAN/CGA-1.1 latest edition.

INSTALLATION OPTIONS
These cooktops can be installed in standard 24" or
deeper 25" cabinets.

• In 25" deep cabinets, the cooktop will be flush with
the front of the countertop.
• The stainless surface of the cooktop will be 1/2"
higher than adjacent countertop.
• Cooktop fits flush to rear of cutout; no additional
support is required.
