IMPORTANT
Important Preparation Suggestions
1. Chamfer all exposed edges of decorative laminate
to prevent damage from chipping.
2. Radius corners of cutout and file to insure
smooth edges and prevent corner cracking.
Recommend 1/4“or 3/8“diameter drill in each
corner.
3. Rough edges, inside corners which have not been
rounded and forced fits can contribute to cracking
of the countertop laminate.
This cooktop has been designed with wide
tolerances of cut-out for when another brand is
being replaced with a Hestan unit. For new
installations, we recommend holding to the
minimum cutout dimensions.

manufacturer. Apply heat reflective tape such as Scotch® Aluminum Foil Tape #425 or #427
around the cutout so that it folds over on the top and sides.
• Do not wrap the tape underneath the cooktop.
• Be sure the tape extends beyond the outermost flange of the cooktop. All corners should be
covered with tape.
