1. Benchtop material suitable for PITT® cooking
1a. PITT® cooking can safely be built into:
• Compact board (eg. Trespa)
• Solid Surface
• Quartz Composite (eg. Caesarstone, Silestone)
• Concrete
• Glass
• Natural stone (eg. granite, marble)
• Stainless steel (eg. 4 mm solid or 1(+) mm on substrate board
• Ceramics

top layer.
Additional requirements apply to Solid Surface. See chapter 3.
!
cooking should never be installed into solid wood and benchtops with an HPL
1b. The minimum thickness of the core material is 4 mm.
For Solid Surface, Quartz composite, compact board and natural stone applies a minimum
thickness of the core material (solid) of 10 mm.
For Top Side for all materials, a maximum thickness of 35 mm applies.
For Front Side for all materials, a maximum thickness of 25 mm applies.
The bottom of the benchtop needs to be completely flat, in order to bring the
!
heat conductor in full contact with the benchtop.

The guidelines of the kitchen manufacturer and/or the manufacturer of the kitchen
!
benchtop should always be strictly followed.

2a. The C-size for Top Side models should be at least 50 mm (fig.1).
The distance between the cut out (Top Side and Front Side) and the sides (left or right) of the
benchtop should be at least 150 mm.

Front Side can be applied to the front side of the work top as well as the blind of the kitchen
cabinet (whether indented or not). The center of the knobs measured from the top of the
benchtop is at least 50 and at most 100 mm
(fig.3).

Manufacturing recesses (cut-outs)
Fig. 4 Fig. 5
2c. The insides of the recess(es) should be smooth and even (fig. 4). Irregularities can
cause cracking (fig. 5).
Facet 1x1 mm

2d. On the top and bottom of the recess(es) should be a facet of at least 1x1 mm be
applied (with exception for Solid Surface) (fig. 6).
Fig. 7 Fig. 8
2e. Adhesive connections and/or interconnections should never intersect the recess(es). These
should have a distance of at least 250 mm to the recess(es) (fig. 7 and 8).

Manufacturing recesses (cut-outs) | Solid Surface
!
The guidelines of the manufacturer of the Solid Surface material should always be strictly
followed.
In case of Solid Surface the following extra instructions apply:
3a. Use a router or CNC machine to prevent jagged recesses.
Extra plate Solid Surface
Fig. 10 Fig. 11
Radius R = 3 mm
3b. Glue an extra Solid Surface plate at all times at the bottom of the benchtop. This plate
should have the same measurements as the PITT cooking heat conductor, and the same
thickness as the benchtop (fig. 10).
3c. A range of minimum R=3 mm should be applied on the top and bottom of the recess(es). By
sanding it smooth afterwards, possible cracks can be prevented (fig. 11).
!
We advise to use a ladder frame at all times.
Fig. 12
3d. If the benchtop has been thickened, a ladder frame must always be applied (fig. 12).
For the correct dimensions of the ladder frame, we refer you to the instructions of the
manufacturer of the Solid Surface product.

Heat conductor
3e. Apply aluminium tape and thermo tape in the recess(es), in this order:
1) aluminum tape 2) thermo tape 3) aluminum tape (fig. 13).
The aluminum and thermo tape should be overlapping the top of the benchtop surface with at least
5 mm. This seal will offer protection to the changes in temperature.
It is very important that this sealing does not stick out - this because the heat conductor
!
should be able to connect 100% with the bottom of the benchtop.

The guidelines of the kitchen manufacturer and/or the manufacturer of the kitchen benchtop
should always be strictly followed.

4a. The cabinets should be placed perfectly levelled (fig. 14 and 15).
Fig. 16
4b. In the case of bottom cabinets with a closed top, these should be the same size (+10 mm)
®
as the PITT
cooking module. This is to bring the heat conductor in full contact with the core
material (fig. 16).

4c. The benchtop should have full support on the left, right, front and back side of the PITT
cooking unit (fig. 17). This prevents tension in the benchtop from the weight of the cooking
unit. We advise to support the benchtop with a ladder frame.
4d. The distance between the kitchen benchtop and the wall and/or cabinets should be at least 3
mm (fig. 18). This allows the material to expand.
