Planning
This cooktop has a control system that is fan cooled during heavy usage conditions. This
requires a minimum of 15" fl'ee-space below the cooktop bottom to an internal enclosure;
such as a full depth cabinet shelf; to provide this air circulation.
- Do not block vents on the underside and at the right fl'ont and right sides.
Do not block exhaust fan outlet located on the bottom of the cooktop.
See "Base Cabinet Heat Clearances" for fan
and vent locations.
Use this cooktop with any exhaust hood; no special overhead ventilation is required.
Refer to "Dimensions and Clearances" for appropriate placement and clearances when
planning installation.
Avoid placing cabinetry directly above the
cooktop when possible.
If cabinetry is used above the cooking surface:
Use cabinets no more than 13" deep.
Maintain 30" minimum clearance between
cooktop and unprotected cabinets directly above cooktop.
-Maintain 24" minimum clearance when
bottom of wood or metal cabinet is pro- tected by not less than 1/4" 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.
-A 36" wide exhaust hood that projects at least 5" beyond the front of the upper
cabinets can also reduce risks.
Working areas adjacent to the cooktop should have 18" minimtHn clearance
between countertop and cabinet bottom.

IMPORTANT: Control Housing Air Flow Provision
The control system is fan cooled during usage. Installation into a cabinet must not block the
cooling air flow. Review illustrations carefully before cutting the countertop to insure that
adequate space for the cooktop and clearances for air space is available.
Standoffs are positioned along the sides of the cooktop. These standoffs provide a 1/4"
air gap between the countertop/cabinet and the cooktop chassis.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE THE STANDOFFS.

SideWall
We recommend that this cooktop be installed
in 42" or larger base cabinets. If the cooktop is installed into a 36" cabinet base, modifications
may be required. A 36" cabinet base must allow for installation of hold-down clips and air gaps at the sides. The side walls may need to be cut away to provide this space.
Countertop cutout for this cooktop must be: 34-3/8" wide.
- 19-1/4" deep.
Allow clearances:
- 1-1/2" rain. between rear of cutout and rear backsplash or wall.
2" nan. from cutout to fl'ont edge of countertop.
- 2" nan. fl'om cutout to left and right side adjacent walls.
Install the junction box within reach of the power cable, at least 16" below the countertop.
This cooktop is designed to hang fl'om the countertop fl'om its fl'ont, back and side flanges.
Use a level to insure that countertop is level and flat. If the countertop bows more than
1/16", additional cooktop support will be
required.
For additional cooktop support, add braces to the inside of the opening whenever possible. Braces can be added along the rear and on the sides of the opening. Be sure that bracing does not block air flow to vents.
This cooktop requires an additional 15" fl'ee space below the cooktop bottom to full- depth horizontal shelves for unrestricted air flow to the control housing.

Measure carefully using a carpenter's square before cutting the countertop.
Draw a centerline and measure 17-3/16" to each side. Make sure sides of the opening are parallel.
Cut along the lines to complete the entire cutout. Check again to be sure surface is
flat. Install supports if necessary.

countertop thickness.
Secure clips on left and right sides or fl'ont and back sides.
Hand tighten screws against countertop.
Over tightening may cause stress
and could cause the glass top to break.
