Location Requirements
Make sure you have everything needed for correct installation. It

IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
When installing cooktop, use minimum dimensions given.
■ To eliminate the risk of burns or re by reaching over the
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" (12.7 cm)
beyond the bottom of the cabinets.
■ The cooktop must be a specied cooktop that is approved
to be installed either alone or over an undercounter builtin oven. Check the cooktop burner box for an approved
installation label. If you do not nd this label, contact your
dealer to conrm that your cooktop is approved.
■ Ovens approved for this type of installation will have an
approval label located on the top of the oven. If you do
not nd this label, contact your dealer to conrm that your
oven is approved. Refer to oven manufacturer’s Installation
Instructions for approval for built-in undercounter use and
proper cutout dimensions.
■ When installing cooktop over an undercounter built-in oven,
do not fasten cooktop to countertop with clamps. This
will make the cooktop easier to remove if future servicing
becomes necessary.
■ The cooktop should be installed away from strong draft
areas, such as windows, doors, fans or strong heating vents.
The cooktop should be located for convenient use in the
kitchen.
■ Use the countertop opening dimensions that are given
