Cabinet Construction
To eliminate tile risk of burns or fire by
reaching over heated surface units, do not have cabinet
storage space above the range. If there is cabinet
storage space above range, reduce risk by installing a
range hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5"
(1 2.7 cm) beyond the bottom of the cabinet.
_Countertop Preparation
• The cooktop sides of the range fit over the cutout edge
of your countertop.
• If you have a square finish (flat) countertop, no
countertop preparation is required. Cooktop sides lay
directly on edge of countertop.
• Formed front-edged countertops must have molded
edge shaved flat 3/4" (1.9 cm) from each front corner
of opening (Figure 8).
• Tile countertops may need trim cut back 3/4"(1.9
cm) from each front corner and!or rounded edge
flattened (Figure 8).
