Cabinet Construction

To eliminate the risk of burns or fire

by reaching over heated surface units, do not have cabinet storage space above the range. If there is cabinet storage space above range, reduce risk by installing a range hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5" (12.7 cm) beyond the bottom of

the cabinet.

Countertop Preparation

• The cooktop sides of the range fit over the cutout edge of your countertop.

• If you have a square finish (flat) countertop, no countertop preparation is required. Cooktop sides lay directly on edge of countertop.

• Formed front-edged countertops must have molded edge shaved flat 3/4" (1.9 cm) from each

front corner of opening (Figure 7).
