Installation of a cooktop over ovens and microwaves

Only certain models may be installed over an oven or a microwave. Verify the Approved Combination Guide supplied with these instructions for approved installation combinations. Both products will have a label stating Approved Combination Guide.

Installation of a range hood or a microwave hood above the cooktop

Follow the range hood or microwave hood installation instructions for dimensional clearance above the cooktop surface.

2.4 Countertop requirements

Ensure that the countertop into which the cooktop is to be installed meets these requirements for a safe installation.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of ignition of surrounding combustible materials, install at least 2" (51 mm) from both sidewalls and the rear wall.

• The countertop must be level and horizontal.
• The stability of the countertop must be maintained after the cut-out has been made.

3 Prepare installation space

Create the cutout in the countertop according to the instructions.

General countertop requirements:

• The angle of the cut surface to the countertop surface must be 90°.
• With multi-layered countertops, secure strips laterally in the cutout if necessary.
• After creating the cutout, remove all debris.
• Seal the cut surfaces in a heat- and water-resistant manner.
• Observe the minimum distance between device underside and cabinet surfaces of 3/8" (10 mm).
• The countertop into which the cooktop is installed must be heat-resistant up to 140° F (90 °C).
• The countertop into which the cooktop is installed must be at least 13/16" (20 mm) thick.
• If the thickness of the countertop into which the cooktop is installed does not comply with the specifications, reinforce the worktop using a fire- and water-resistant material until it reaches the minimum thickness. Otherwise, sufficient stability cannot be assured.
• The countertop into which the cooktop is installed should withstand loads of approx. 133 lbs (60 kg).
• Confirm the cooktop is level only after it has been installed.

3.3 Cabinet ventilation requirements

To assure that the appliance works correctly, the cooktop MUST be sufficiently ventilated. The ventilation in the lower section of the appliance requires a sufficient supply of fresh air. Ensure that the cabinet is designed in a way that supports sufficient ventilation. The following requirements must be fulfilled:

Notes

• A minimum clearance between the rear of the cabinet and the kitchen wall, and between the surface of the countertop and the upper area of the drawer.

Diagram Description: Shows a side view of a cabinet with ventilation clearances. Minimum clearance at the rear of the cabinet is 13/16" (20 mm). Minimum clearance for air intake at the bottom is 3 3/4" (95 mm).

If the minimum clearance of 13/16" (20 mm) is not provided at the rear of the cabinet, you must create an opening on the underside.

Diagram Description: Shows a rear view of a cabinet with an opening created on the underside for ventilation.

If the inside of the cabinet is no wider than 29 1/2" (750 mm), make cutouts in the side panels.

Diagram Description: Shows a top view of a cabinet interior with cutouts made in the side panels for ventilation, applicable if cabinet width A is less than 29 1/2" (750 mm).

4 Installation procedure

Follow these instructions to install the cooktop into the countertop.

CAUTION: Sharp edges. Use protective gloves when installing the appliance.

CAUTION: The appliance is heavy. It is recommended that two people install this appliance.

4.1 Installing the heat shield

For safety reasons, the heat shield must be properly installed when closed cabinets are used. This prevents components from overheating as a result of the recirculation of hot air from the cooktop. The heat shield is the same width as the cooktop.

CAUTION: Sharp edges. Use protective gloves when installing the heat shield.

Requirement: You have unpacked the cooktop.

For shipping, the heat shield is screwed to the bottom of the cooktop. Unscrew the fastening screw on heat shield.

Diagram Description: Shows the heat shield being detached from the bottom of the cooktop.

The heat shield will be able to rotate freely.

4.2 Securing the cooktop to the countertop

The cooktop must be secured from below using the hold-down brackets provided, so it does not slip.

1. Place the cooktop face down on a soft underground.
2. Attach the hold-down brackets to the underside of the cooktop with the provided short screws. Do not tighten the screws.
3. Rotate the hold-down brackets so that the appliance can be placed in the cutout.
4. CAUTION: Do not let the cooktop drop into place. Make sure that the cooktop is supported along the edges when carefully placing it into the cutout.
5. Turn the cooktop over and place it carefully into the countertop cutout.
6. Insert the clamping screws into the hold-down bracket and secure the cooktop to the countertop. Protect delicate countertops by placing a wooden disk underneath.
7. Tighten the hold-down bracket screws on the cooktop underside.
