Preparing For Installation - GE UVB30 Owner's Manual And Installation Instructions

PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION

• Unpack the cooktop and read the Installation
Instructions to understand the required countertop
cutout dimensions and location in the countertop, the
cooktop spacing to the front edge of the countertop,
and the required clearances to the cabinets and walls.
The vent system required cutout width is shown on
page 4. Confirm there is enough side to side counter
space to meet the required spacing and clearances for
the cooktop.
• Using the illustrations below and taking measurements
of the cooktop to establish dimension A, confirm there
is enough front to back counter space (dimension B)
to fit both the cooktop and the vent system. Note the
cooktop rear edge will overlap the vent system front
surface (refer to Page 5).

• Refer to the Creative Solutions section on page 8 if
more counter space is needed.
• Using the illustrations on pages 5 through 7 and taking
measurements of the vent system and its exhaust vent
location, confirm the clearances needed within the
cabinet, the exhaust vent direction, and the alignment
of the exhaust vent with the ducting. If needed for
clearance or duct hookup alignment, reposition the
location of the cooktop, or modify the cabinetry, or
modify the ducting. A remote blower kit JXR867 is
available to move the blower assembly out of the
cabinet area.
• Confirm the electrical receptacles and gas lines are
correctly located, and relocate if needed.
