Specifications
Installation Requirements
A minimum 2″ (51) is required from the bottom of the cooktop to combustible materials. Clearance is required for the conduit located at the right rear of induction and electric cooktops. Refer to the illustration below for dimensions. Refer to the illustrations on pages 6–8 for additional minimum clearances. Installation dimensions are the same for
induction and electric cooktops of the same width.
Failure to locate the cooktop without proper clearances will result in a fire hazard.
FLUSH INSTALLATION
Contemporary induction and electric cooktops can be mounted flush with the top of the countertop or as a frameless standard installation sitting on top of the countertop
surface. If the cooktop is to be mounted flush with the countertop, a recessed area surrounding the cooktop cutout must be provided. An installation kit and instructions required for a flush installation are provided with the Contemporary cooktop.
A flush installation is intended for granite, solid surface, or stone countertop surfaces only.
MULTIPLE COOKTOPS
When multiple cooktops or modules are installed side by side, the countertop cutout width is determined by adding the width of each unit, then subtracting 1″ (25). Refer to the
illustration below.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Contemporary induction and electric cooktops are not designed to be installed in combination with other cooktops.
Electrical Requirements
Installation must comply with all applicable electrical codes. Locate the electrical supply as shown in the illustrations on the following pages. A separate circuit servicing only
this appliance is required. A ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) is not recommended and may cause interruption of operation. When multiple cooktops are installed side by side, each unit must have its own separate recommended electrical circuit.

Flush Installation
To ensure a proper installation, a template for the countertop cutout should be created using the cooktop glass.
ROUTING OPTION
For this installation, a recessed area surrounding the countertop cutout is required. Fabrication of the recessed area bmust take place before the countertop is installed.
This option is not recommended for countertops with a molded backsplash.
CLEAT OPTION
For this installation, the countertop cutout is the same size as the outer edge of the cooktop glass. Attach L-shaped cleats to the perimeter of the countertop
cutout. The top edge of the cleat cannot be wider than 7/8″ (22) and is attached 5/16″ (8) below the surface of the countertop. Refer to the illustration below. Attach the
cleats to the countertop. Consult a countertop supplier for proper methods of attachment.
