Cook-top
A built-in cooking surface installed directly into the countertop, separate from the oven. Cooktops require a specialized base cabinet below that accommodates the unit's depth and provides ventilation. Gas, electric, and induction cooktops each have different cabinet cutout and clearance requirements. A cooktop installation allows the oven to be placed in a tall cabinet at a more ergonomic height.
