The downdraft system with blower, motor and ductwork will
occupy the cabinet below the cooktop. Drawers cannot be
installed below this cooktop.
Avoid placing cabinets above the cooktop unit, if possible,
in order to reduce the hazards caused by reaching over
heated surface units.
If the cabinetry is used above the cooktop, allow a minimum
30" clearance between the cooking surface and the bottom
of the unprotected cabinet.
If the clearance between the cooktop and the cabinetry is
lessthan 30", the cabinet bottom must be protected with
a flame retardant millboard at least 1/4"thick, or gypsum
board at least s/16" t hick, covered with 28 gauge sheet steel
or 0.020" thick copper. Clearance between the cooktop and
the protected cabinetry MUSTNEVERBE LESS THAN 24".
EXCEPTION: Installation of a listed microwave oven or
cooking appliance over the cooktop shall conform to the
installation instructions packed with that appliance.
Working areas adjacent to the cooktop should have an
18" minimum clearance between the countertop and the
bottom of the cabinet. If the clearance is less than 18", the
adjacent cabinets should be at least 5" from the side edge
of the cooktop.
