Mobile Home – Additional Installation Requirements
The installation of this cooktop must conform to the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280 (formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construction and Safety, Title 24, HUD Part 280). When such standard is not applicable, use the Standard for Manufactured Home Installations, ANSI A225.1/NFPA 501A or local codes. In Canada, the installation of this range must conform with the current standards CAN/CSA-Z240.1, latest edition, or with local codes.

Cabinet Dimensions
IMPORTANT: If installing a range hood or microwave hood combination above the cooktop, follow the range hood or microwave hood combination installation instructions for dimensional clearances above the cooktop surface.

• A. 30″ (76.2 cm) on 30″ models; 36″ (91.4 cm) on 36″ models
• B. Combustible area above countertop (shown by dashed box above)
• C. 30″ (76.2 cm) minimum clearance between top of the cooktop platform and bottom of the uncovered wood or metal cabinet (24″ [61 cm] minimum clearance if the bottom of wood or metal cabinet is covered by not less than 1/4″ [6.4 mm] flame retardant billboard covered with not less than No. 28 MSG sheet steel, 0.015″ [0.04 mm] stainless steel, or 0.024″ [0.06 mm] aluminium or 0.020″ [0.05 mm] copper)
• D. 13″ (33 cm) recommended upper cabinet depth

The drawer depth may need to be shortened to avoid interfering with the regulator.
