PREPARING THE OPENING
PRODUCT DIMENSIONS AND
CLEARANCES
This cooktop cannot be installed in countertops
that cannot accept screws, such as granite or
marble, etc. Counter space must be provided for
installation of the cooktop. To insure accuracy,
it is best to make a template when cutting the
opening in the counter. See illustration below for
all necessary dimensions.
When choosing a location consider the following
clearances:
• 30 (76.2 cm) minimum vertical clearance from
the cooktop to the nearest overhead surface.
If a 30" clearance between the cooking surface
and overhead combustible materials or metal
cabinets cannot be maintained, a minimum
clearance of 24" is required and the underside
of the cabinets above the cooktop must be
protected with not less than 1/4" insulating
millboard covered with sheet metal not less
than 0.0122" thick.
