The minimum distances given in these Installation instructions are to combustible surfaces, and must be observed to ensure safe operation. Failure to do so increases the risk of fire.

The cabinetry and venting hood should be installed first to prevent damage to the cooktop.

Gas appliances should only be installed in a well ventilated area.

The countertop must be bonded

with heat resistant (212 °F/100 °C) adhesive to prevent distortion or dissolving.

The cooktop should only be

installed as shown in the illustrations while maintaining the required safety distances shown. Do not install the cooktop between two tall cabinets, this is a fire hazard.
