      * To allow clearance for hold down brackets

◊ 

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.

If installing the cooktop with a raised vent, install only the approved Dacor

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.
