IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances. When installing cooktop, use  
minimum dimensions given.  
To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over the heated surface units, cabinet storage  
Electrical:  
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.  
If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used,  
it is recommended that a qualified electrical installer  
determine that the ground path and wire gauge are  
in accordance with local codes.  
The cooktop must be a specified cooktop that is approved to be installed either alone or over an  
undercounter built-in oven. Check the cooktop base for an approved installation label. If you do  
not find this label, contact your dealer to confirm 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 find this label, contact your dealer to confirm that your oven is approved.  
Refer to oven manufacturer’s Installation Instructions for approval for built-in undercounter use  
and proper cutout dimensions.  
Check with a qualified electrical installer if you are  
not sure the cooktop is properly grounded.  
Make sure that the electrical connection and wire  
size are adequate and in conformance with the  
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-latest  
edition or CSA Standards C22.1-94, Canadian  
Electrical Code, Part 1 and C22.2 No. O-M91-latest  
edition, and all local codes and ordinances.  
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 with these Installation Instructions. Given  
dimensions are minimum clearances and provide 0" (0 cm) clearance.  
Grounded electrical supply is required. See “Electrical Requirements” section.  
Before You Make the Electrical Connection:  
To properly install your cooktop, you must  
determine the type of electrical connection you will  
be using and follow the instructions provided for it  
here.  
IMPORTANT: To avoid damage, check with your builder or cabinet supplier to make sure that  
the materials used will not discolor, delaminate or sustain other damage.
