We recommend at least 6 (15.24
cm) for best venting performance.
Avoidplacing cabinets above the cooktop unit,
if possible, in order to reduce the hazards caused
by reaching overheated surface units.
Make sure the wall coverings around the
cooktop can withstand heat generated by the
cooktop
UP
to 200°F
If cabinets are placed above the cooktop, allow
a minimum clearance of 3V between the cooking
surface and the bottom of unprotected cabinets
unless the underside of the cabinets above the
cooktop is protected with not less than 1/4'
insulating flame-retirdant millboard covered
with sheet metal not less than 0.012Y
( 0.031cm) thick.
Clearance between the cooking surface and
protected cabinets MU= NE~R BE LESS
H
24 INCHES.me vertical distance from
the plane of the cooking surface to the bottom of
adjacent overhead cabinets extending closer
than 1"to the plane of the cooktop sides must
not be less than lV.
~CE~ON:
Instillation of a fisted microwave
oven or cooking appfianceover the cooktop shall
conform to the installationinstructions packed
with that appfiance.
Working areas adjacent to the cooktop should
have an lV (45.7cm) minimum clearance
between the countertop and the bottom of the
cabinet. E the clearance is less than lW
(45.7cm), the adjacent cabinets should beat
least V (5.08cm) from the side of the cooktop.
ProperElectrical Supply
Youmust provide an adequate electrical supply
system as required for your cooktop.N1 wire

grounded in accordance with localwiring code.
me followingchart recommends the minimum
circuit protection and wire size if the appfianceis
the only unit on the circuit. If smaller sizes of
wire are used, the unit efficiencywillbe reduced
and afire hmard maybe created. It is advisable
