PROXIMITY TO SIDE CABINET INSTALLATION

1. The cooktop may be installed directly to existing base cabinets.

2. The cooktop CANNOT be installed directly adjacent to sidewalls, tall cabinets, tall appliances, or other side vertical

surfaces above 36” (91.4 cm) high. There must be a minimum of 6” (15.2 cm) side clearance from the cooktop to
such combustible surfaces above the 36” (91.4 cm).

3. Within the 6” (15.2 cm) side clearance to combustible vertical surfaces above 36” (91.4 cm), the maximum wall

cabinet depth must be 13” (33.0 cm) and wall cabinets within this 6” (15.2 cm) side clearance must be 18” (45.7 cm)
above the 36” (91.4 cm) high countertop.

4. Wall cabinet above the cooktop must be a minimum of 36” (91.4 cm) above the countertop for a full width of the

cooktop. This minimum height requirement does not

apply if a rangehood is installed over the cooking surface.

NOTE: Refer to Installation of Hold Down Brackets on page 7 for minimum clearances under counter.

The bottom of the hood should be 30” (76.2 cm) min. to 36” (91.4 cm) max. above the countertop. This would
typically result in the bottom of the hood being 66” (167.6 cm) to 72” (182.9 cm) above the floor. Refer to the
rangehood installation instructions for further information. These dimensions provide for safe and efficient operation
of the hood.
