2 INSTALLATION

To install the cooktop, cut out a rectangular opening in the counter as shown on the drawing and table below. Also, ensure that you have a minimum of 13/8” of space in the back of the unit, between the rim and backsplash on your counter (or wall if no backsplash) for ventilation. A self-adhesive gasket is supplied with your unit. Before setting the cooktop in place install this gasket by sticking it underneath the rim.

If your counter is produced from porous materials which tends to swell if in

contact with humidity and water, use proper sealants on the edge which would

prevent any penetration of humidity and water.

Cut away all exposed edges of decorative laminates to prevent further chipping. Round corners of the cut-out and file them to ensure smooth edges and prevent

Rough edges and inside corners which are not rounded as well as forced fits

can contribute to cracking of counter top laminate.

Apply the gasket only along the front rim and on both sides. Do not put this gasket on the rim in the back. This gasket will prevent most of the spills from entering the cabinet below and will keep the unit in place. Once the gasket is installed, place the cooktop in the opening and lay it on the rim. Do this carefully - do not drop the unit into the cut-out. Make sure that the unit is sitting properly on its rim all around the perimeter.
