the power cord so that they know where and how to
turn off the gas supply and disconnect power to the
cooktop. Proper installation is the responsibility of the
customer.
Installations with less than 2 1/2” (64 mm) from the •
rear of the cooktop to a combustible material must
use Dacor backguard model AEB3609, AEB3612,
