PREPARE THE OPENING
If the countertop area is not flat, excess tension may be applied to the glass
cooktop causing breakage and voiding the warranty. Make sure the wall
covering, countertop, flooring and cabinets around the range can withstand
the heat (up to 93˚C [200˚F]) generated by the range.
A. Allow 76.2 cm (30") minimum clearance between surface units and bottom
of unprotected wood or metal cabinet, or allow a 61 cm (24") minimum
when bottom of wood or metal cabinet is protected by no less then 6.3 mm
(1/4") thick flame retardant millboard covered with no less than No. 28 MSG
sheet metal .38 mm (.015") thick, .38 mm (.015") thick stainless steel,
.63 mm (.025") aluminum or .5 mm (.020") copper.
B. A minimum 15.2 cm (6") spacing to surfaces less than 38.2 cm (15")
above the cooktop and adjacent cabinetry is recommended to reduce
exposure to steam, grease splatter and heat. Allow 6.3 mm (1/4")
minimum clearance at the back wall.
To reduce the risk of burns or fire when reaching over hot surface elements,
cabinet storage space above the cooktop should be avoided. If cabinet
storage space is to be provided above the cooktop, the risk can be reduced
by installing a range hood that projects at least 12.7 cm (5") beyond the front
of the cabinets. Cabinets installed above the cooktop must be no deeper
than 33 cm (13").
