Installing Cabinetry Over Your Cooktop

A= 30²²²² (76.2 cm) minimum

clearance between the top of
the cooktop and the bottom of
an unprotected wood or metal
cabinet.

A= 24²²²² (60.96 cm) minimum when

bottom of wood or metal
cabinet is protected by not less
than 1/4² (0.635 cm). FLAME
RETARDANT millboard
covered with not less than no.
28 MSG sheet steel, 0.015²
(0.038 cm) stainless steel, 0.024²
(0.061 cm) aluminum or copper.

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

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 inches beyond the bottom of the cabinets.

Important Installation Suggestions

1. Chamfer all exposed edges of decorative laminate to
prevent damage from chipping.

2. Radius corners of cutout and file to insure smooth
edges and prevent corner cracking.

3. Rough edges, inside corners which have not been
rounded and forced fits can contribute to cracking of
the countertop laminate.

4. Countertop must be supported within 3² (7.62 cm) of
cutout.

CAUTION

Warrantyis void onequipment installed other than
as recommended by manufacturer.

Electrical Wiring Information

If used on new branch-circuit installations (1996 NEC),
mobile homes, recreational vehicles, or in an area where
local codes prohibit grounding through the neutral
conductor, connect the ground wire to ground in
accordance with local code. Connect all wires to the
branch circuit with approved connectors. Use copper or
aluminum wire. If aluminum wire is used, use connectors
recognized for joining aluminum to copper.

CAUTION

This is a two wirewith copper ground 208/240volt
AC appliance. Copper ground is chassis ground
and must be connected to supply ground.

National Electrical Code, NFPA No. 70, can be obtained
by writing to:

National Fire Protection Association

Batterymarch Park

Quincy, Massachusetts 02269

This is a 2-wire, 240-volt unit. Connect only to a 3-wire,
120/240-volt power supply; the neutral conductor is not
required for the operation of the appliance. The potential
at the power supply electrical connections shall be
150-volts-to-ground or less. The grounding (bare) wire is
connected to the frame of the unit; connect it to a
separate ground. The chart below recommends the
minimum circuit protector and wire size if the appliance is
the only unit on the circuit. If smaller sizes of wire are
used, the unit efficiency will be reduced and a fire hazard
may be created. It is advisable that the electrical wiring
and hookup be accomplished by a competent electrician.
