Before vou start...
Proper installation iz your responsibility. Make
sure you have everything necessary for correct
installation. It is the responsibility of the installer
to comply with the installation clearances
specified on the model/serial rating plate. The
model/serial rating plate is located on the bottom
of cooktops and grills and on the right side,
above the wiring box on the downdraft vent
blower box.
Check location where cooktops, grills and
downdraft vents will be installed. The location
should be away from strong draft areas, such as
windows, doors and strong heating vents or fans.
All should be located for convenient use in the
kitchen.
Do Not obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air.
ALL OPENINGS IN THE WALL OR FLOOR
WHERE COOKTOPS, GRILLS AND
DOWNDRAFT VENTS ARE TO BE INSTALLED
MUST BE SEALED.
Cabinet construction: This appliance is
designed for use in a base cabinet with a depth
of 24”. The maximum depth for the overhead
cabinets is 13”. The minimum vertical clearance
between the cooking surface and the overhead
depends on the type of overhead cabinets you
have. (See Note, Page 2.) Overhead cabinets
installed at either side of the appliance must be a
minimum of 18” above the cooking surface. The
minimum distance between the front edge of the
countertop and the front edge of the cooktop is
3/4”. The minimum horizontal distance between
overhead cabinets above appliances is the same
as the width of the installed appliances.
When installing a cooktop under existing cabinets
and the installation does not meet the minimum
cabinet clearances, install a range hood above
the cooktop.
Important: Observe all governing codes and
ordinances.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock, or injury to persons, observe the
following:
Installation work and electrical wiring must be
done by qualified person(s) in accordance with
all applicable codes and standards, including
fire-rated construction.
Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion
and exhausting of gases through the flue
(chimney) of fuel burning equipment to prevent
back drafting. Follow the heating equipment
manufacturer’s guideline and safety standards
such as those published by the American
Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air
Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the
local code authorities.
When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do
not damage electrical wiring and other hidden
utilities.
Ducted fans must always be vented to the
outdoors.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, use only
metal ductwork.
Grounded electrical outlet is required. See
“Electrical requirements,” Page 6.
When installing a downdraft vent, the cabinet
drawer(s) will need to be removed and the
drawer front(s) installed permanently to cabinet.
Proper gas supply connection must be
available. See “Gas supply requirements,”
Page 19.
30” min. base cabinet is required. If cabinet has
a drawer, a 3-l/2” depth clearance from the
countertop to the top of the drawer (or other
obstruction) in base cabinet is required.
Product dimensions
All cooktops are same size. The distance to the
front edge of the countertop, distance to a side
wall or other combustible surface, location of
electric supply and height to cabinets above
cooktop varies depending whether the cooktop is
gas or electric.
It is the customer’s responsibility:
To contact a qualified electrical installer.
To assure that electrical installation is
adequate and in conformance with National
Electrical Code, ANSYNFPA 70 - latest
edition*, and all local codes and ordinances.
