3Cabinet DimensionsIMPORTANT: If installing a range hood or microwave hoodcombination above the cooktop, follow the range hood ormicrowave hood combination installation instructions fordimensional clearances above the cooktop surface.NOTES: After making the countertop cutout, some installationsmay require notching down the base cabinet side walls to clearthe cooktop base. To avoid this modification, use a base cabinetwith sidewalls wider than the cutout.If cabinet has a drawer, a 5½" (14.0 cm) depth clearance from thetop of the countertop to the top of the drawer (or otherobstruction) in base cabinet is required.Electrical RequirementsIf codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it isrecommended that a qualified electrical installer determine thatthe ground path and wire gauge are in accordance with localcodes.Check with a qualified electrical installer if you are not sure thecooktop is properly grounded.Make sure that the electrical connection and wire size areadequate and in conformance with the National Electrical Code,ANSI/NFPA 70-latest edition or CSA Standards C22.1-94,Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1 and C22.2 No. O-M91-latestedition, and all local codes and ordinances.A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from:National Fire Protection AssociationBatterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269CSA International8501 East Pleasant Valley RoadCleveland, OH 44131-5575Before You Make the Electrical Connection:To properly install your cooktop, you must determine the type ofelectrical connection you will be using and follow the instructionsprovided for it here.■ A 3-wire or 4-wire, single phase, 120/240 volt, 60-Hz., AConly electrical supply is required on a separate, 40-ampcircuit fused on both sides of the line.
