Failure to do so increases the risk of fire.

The cabinetry and venting hood should be installed first to prevent damage to the cooktop.

Gas appliances should only be installed in a well ventilated area.

The countertop must be bonded with heat resistant (212 °F/100 °C) adhesive to prevent distortion or dissolving.

The cooktop should only be installed as shown in the illustrations while maintaining the required safety distances shown. Do not install the cooktop between two tall cabinets, this is a fire hazard.

a = indicates cooktop cut-out b = minimum distance between cut-out and a tall cabinet:

12" (305 mm)

This appliance has not been designed for maritime use or for use in mobile installations such as recreational vehicles or aircraft.
