Important note on base cabinet construction:After
making the countertop cutout, some installations
may require notching down the base cabinet side
walls to clear the burner box.To avoid this
modification, use a base cabinet having sidewalls
wider than the cutout.

Note:If cabinet has a drawer, a 4" (10.2 cm)
depth clearance from the countertop to the top of
the drawer (or other obstruction) in base cabinet
is required.
