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 beyondthe bottom of the cabinets.

Electrical Wiring Information

The neutral of this unit is grounded to the frame through the solid copper grounding wire. 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, untwist or disconnect the solid copper wire and connect the ground wire to ground in accordance with local code. Connect the white neutral to the service neutral. 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.

Proper Electrical Supply

You must provide an adequate electrical supply system as required for your cooktop. All wire connections must be in accordance with local codes and properly insulated. Check with local utility for governing electrical codes and ordinances. In the absence of local electrical codes, the National Electrical Code, NFPA No. 70, governing electric range installations must be followed. A copy of the National Electrical Code, NFPA No. 70, can be obtained by writing to:

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

Warranty is void on equipment installed other than as recommended by manufacturer.
