Cabinet and Countertop Layout
warning
•
To reduce the risk of personal injury caused by reaching over
a hot appliance, avoid locating cabinet storage space directly
above the cooktop.
•
Failure to meet or exceed the maximum and minimum
dimensions/clearances stated in these instructions may result
in a fire hazard.
•
Follow the countertop manufacturer’s instructions regarding
the minimum corner radius, use of heat reflective tape,
reinforcement of corners, etc.
◊
Carefully check the location where the cooktop will be installed. For
best performance, the cooktop should be placed away from drafts that
may be caused by doors, windows and heating and air conditioning
outlets.
◊
This appliance is to be used in conjunction with a suitable vent hood
or approved Dacor raised vent system.

◊
The gas supply piping, gas shut-off valve and the electrical outlet
must be located so they do not interfere with the cooktop when it is
installed. If installing another appliance in the cabinet below, allow for
the routing of gas and electrical service behind it.
The installation must allow for the following:
◊
Access to the gas shut-off valve and regulator when the unit is
installed.
◊
Access to the electrical outlet when the cooktop is in place. The 40”
(101.6 cm) power cord must be able to reach the electrical outlet
◊
Access to the underside of the cooktop for service and inspection
purposes
◊
Clearance inside the cabinet to allow for proper hold down bracket
installation.
To allow access to the utilities and cooktop bottom, a fixed shelf should
not be installed below the cooktop. See the following pages for countertop
cutout dimensions.
