STEP #3
Countertop Preparation
Please read this section prior to making cutout for cook top.
It is important to plan ahead for installation of the cook top, keeping the following dimensions
in mind (please refer to Figure A).
Fig. A
A - 13 inches maximum depth of overhead cabinets
B - 36 inches is minimum height of countertop above floor
C - The minimum flat countertop surface that the cook top will
rest upon must be equal to or greater than the overall
cook top dimensions (refer to the following page for overall
cook top dimensions).
D - 30 inches minimum clearance between the top of the
cooking surface and the bottom of an unprotected wood
or metal cabinet or 24 inch minimum clearance when the
bottom of wood or metal cabinet is protected by not less
than 1/4-inch-thick flame retardant millboard covered with
not less than No. 28 MSG sheet steel, 0.015-inch-thick
stainless steel, 0.024-inch-thick aluminum or 0.020-inch-
thick-copper.
E - 1-inch minimum from backsplash of countertop to edge of
glass (refer to the following page for overall cook top
dimensions).
FOR INSTALLATIONS IN CANADA: “Do Not Install Closer Than 1/2
Inch (12 mm) From Any Adjacent Surface”, and NE PAS INSTALLER
A’MDINS DE 12MM DETOUTE SURFACE ADJACENTE.
Warning: To eliminate the risk of burns by reaching over
heated surface units, cabinet storage space located above
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” beyond the bottom
of the cabinets.
Before making the countertop cutout, check for clearance. Check to see if the cook top will
clear the front and side walls of the base cabinet. It is also important to provide enough
ventilation.
Adequate ventilation of the space below the
countertop must be provided to ensure proper
operation of the cook top. Heat transferred from
the cook top bottom pan during operation will
overheat an improperly ventilated area.
