Installing Cabinetry Over Your Cooktop
A = 30² ² ² ² (76.2 cm) minimum clearance between the top of
the cooktop and the bottom of an unprotected wood or
metal cabinet.
A = 24² ² ² ² (60.96 cm) minimum when bottom of wood or
metal cabinet is protected by not less than 1/4² (0.635
cm). FLAME RETARDANT millboard covered with not
less than no. 28 MSG sheet steel, 0.015² (0.038 cm)
stainless steel, 0.024² (0.061 cm) aluminum or copper.
*
To eliminate the risk of burns or
fire by reaching over heated
surface units, cabinet storage
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 inches beyond the bottom of
the cabinets.
Important Installation Suggestions
1. Chamfer all exposed edges of decorative laminate to
prevent damage from chipping.
2. Radius corners of cutout and file to insure smooth edges
and prevent corner cracking.
3. Rough edges, inside corners which have not been
rounded and forced fits can contribute to cracking of the
countertop laminate.
4. Countertop must be supported within 3² (7.62 cm) of
cutout.
CAUTION
Warranty is void on equipment installed other than as re-
commended by manufacturer.
Electrical Wiring Information
The neutral of this unit is grounded to the frame through the
solid copper grounding wire. If used on new branch-circuit
installations (1996 NEC), mobile homes, recreational
vehicles, or in an area where local codes prohibit grounding
through the neutral conductor, untwist or disconnect the
solid copper wire and connect the ground wire to ground in
accordance with local code. Connect the white neutral to
the service neutral. Connect all wires to the branch circuit
with approved connectors. Use copper or aluminum wire. If
aluminum wire is used, use connectors recognized for
joining aluminum to copper.
Proper Electrical Supply
You must provide an adequate electrical supply system as
required for your cooktop. All wire connections must be in
accordance with local codes and properly insulated. Check
with local utility for governing electrical codes and
ordinances. In the absence of local electrical codes, the
National Electrical Code, NFPA No. 70, governing electric
range installations must be followed. A copy of the National
Electrical Code, NFPA No. 70, can be obtained by writing
to:
National Fire Protection Association
Quincy, Massachusetts 02269
A three-wire, single phase, A.C. 120/240 volt 60 cycle
electrical system (properly circuit protected to meet Local
Codes of NFPA No. 70) must be provided. Unit must be
properly grounded in accordance with local wiring code. The
chart below recommends the minimum circuit protector and
wire size if the appliance is the only unit on the circuit. If
smaller sizes of wire are used, the unit efficiency will be
reduced and a fire hazard may be created. It is advisable
that the electrical wiring and hookup be accomplished by a
competent electrician.
