NOTE FOR INSTALLING ABOVE A WALL OVEN:
When installing the cooktop above a single wall oven,
do not install the baffle. The wall oven will need to
be removed during the cooktop installation and then
re-installed into its space.
IMPORTANT: Maintain a minimum distance of 31-1/4"
from the top surface of the countertop to the wall oven
platform to ensure that the cooktop and wall oven do
not interfere with each other (see picture).
