Cabinet Dimensions

Location Requirements

Make sure you have everything needed for correct installation. It is the responsibility of the installer to comply with the installation clearances specified in these instructions.

IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances. When installing cooktop, use minimum dimensions given.

■ To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over the

heated surface units, cabinet storage space located above the 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" (12.7 cm) beyond the bottom of the cabinets.

■ Check the cooktop base for an approved installation label.

Verify approved oven model numbers that can be installed with your cooktop model number. If you do not find this label, your cooktop may not be approved for use over an undercounter built-in oven. Contact your dealer to confirm that your cooktop is approved.

■ Ovens approved for this type of installation will have an

approval label located on the top of the oven. If you do not find this label, contact your dealer to confirm that your oven is approved. Refer to oven manufacturer’s Installation Instructions for approval for built-in undercounter use and proper cutout dimensions.

■ When installing cooktop over an undercounter built-in oven,

do not fasten cooktop to countertop with clamps or seal cooktop to countertop. This will make the cooktop easier to remove if future servicing becomes necessary.

■ Use the countertop opening dimensions that are given with

these Installation Instructions. Given dimensions are minimum clearances and provide 0" (0 cm) clearance.

■ Grounded electrical supply is required. See “Electrical

Requirements” section.

A. 30" (76.2 cm) on 30" (76.2 cm) models

36" (91.4 cm) on 36" (91.4 cm) models

B. Combustible area above countertop (shown by dashed box above)

C. 30" (76.2 cm) minimum clearance between top of cooktop platform

and bottom of unprotected wood or metal cabinet (24" [61 cm] minimum clearance if bottom of wood or metal cabinet is protected by not less than ¹⁄₄" [0.6 cm] flame retardant millboard covered with not less than No. 28 MSG sheet steel, 0.015" [0.04 cm] stainless steel, or 0.024" [0.06 cm] aluminum or 0.020" [0.05 cm] copper)

D. 13" (33 cm) recommended upper cabinet depth

E. 2" (5.1 cm)

F. 20½" (52 cm)

G. 18" (45.7 cm) minimum clearance from upper cabinet to countertop

within minimum horizontal clearances to cooktop

H. Junction box or outlet; 12" (30.5 cm) minimum from bottom of

countertop

I. Junction box or outlet; 10" (25.4 cm) from right-hand side of cabinet

J. 29½" (74.9 cm) on 30" (76.2 cm) models

35½" (90.2 cm) on 36" (91.4 cm) models

K. 1" (2.5 cm) minimum distance to nearest left and right side

combustible surface above cooktop

L. 1" (2.5 cm) minimum clearance between back wall and countertop

NOTES: After making the countertop cutout, some installations may require notching down the base cabinet side walls to clear the cooktop base. To avoid this modification, use a base cabinet with sidewalls wider than the cutout.

If cabinet has a drawer, a 5¹⁄₈" (13 cm) depth clearance from the countertop to the top of the drawer (or other obstruction) in base cabinet is required.

If installing a hood above the cooktop, follow hood instructions for dimensional clearances above the cooktop surface.

Electrical Requirements

WARNING

■ A UL listed or CSA approved conduit connector must be

provided at each end of the power supply cable (at the cooktop and at the junction box). A listed conduit connector is already provided at the cooktop.

■ If the house has aluminum wiring follow the procedure below:

1. Connect a section of solid copper wire to the pigtail

leads.

2. Connect the aluminum wiring to the added section of

copper wire using special connectors and/or tools designed and UL listed for joining copper to aluminum.

Follow the electrical connector manufacturer's recommended procedure. Aluminum/copper connection must conform with local codes and industry accepted wiring practices.

Install Heat Shield

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard Disconnect power before servicing. Use 8 gauge copper wire. Electrically ground cooktop. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,

fire, or electrical shock.

If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrical installer determine that the ground path and wire gauge are in accordance with local codes.

Check with a qualified electrical installer if you are not sure the cooktop is properly grounded.

It is not recommended to have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.

Make sure that the electrical connection and wire size are adequate and in conformance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-latest edition or CSA Standards C22.1-94, Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1 and C22.2 No. O-M91-latest edition, and all local codes and ordinances.

A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from: National Fire Protection Association

One Batterymarch Park Quincy, MA 02269

CSA International 8501 East Pleasant Valley Road Cleveland, OH 44131-5575

Before You Make the Electrical Connection:

To properly install your cooktop, you must determine the type of electrical connection you will be using and follow the instructions provided for it here.

■ A 4-wire or 3-wire, single phase, 240 volt, 60 Hz., AC only

electrical supply is required on a separate, 50-amp circuit [36" (91.4 cm) models] or 40-amp circuit [30" (76.2 cm) models], fused on both sides of the line.

■ The cooktop should be connected directly to the junction box

through flexible, armored or nonmetallic sheathed, copper cable. The flexible, armored cable extending from the fuse box or circuit breaker box should be connected directly to the junction box.

■ Locate the junction box to allow as much slack as possible

between the junction box and the cooktop so that the cooktop can be moved if servicing becomes necessary in the future.

■ Do not cut the conduit. The length of conduit provided is for

serviceability of the cooktop.

Excessive Weight Hazard Use two or more people to move and install cooktop. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

1. Decide on the final location for the cooktop.

2. Using 2 or more people, place the cooktop upside down on a

covered work surface.

3. Remove the heat shield from the cooktop. Set the 2 screws

aside for reattaching the heat shield.

A. Heat shield B. Remove screws

4. Using 2 screws, reattach the heat shield to the underside of

the cooktop at the predrilled holes as shown in the following illustration.

A. Heat shield B. Predrilled holes

Install Foam Strip

1. Remove foam strip from literature packing.

2. Remove backing from foam strip.

3. Apply foam strip adhesive-side down around bottom of

cooktop, flush with edge. NOTE: The foam strip protects the underside of the cooktop

glass from debris and helps the cooktop sit flat on uneven counters.

Installing Brackets Before Placing Cooktop in Cutout

1. Position bracket to allow the clamping bracket to extend far

enough out from the cooktop for the installation of 2½" (6.4 cm) clamping screws. See “Attach Cooktop to Countertop” for illustration of clamping screw installation.

A. Cooktop base B. Foam strip

C. Glass
