Installation and handling instructions PITT® cooking in kitchen worktops.
1. Material kitchen worktop
2. Manufacturing recesses (cut-outs)
3. Installation kitchen worktop
4. Installation PITT® cooking in the kitchen worktop
PITT® cooking should never be installed in: solid wood and worktops with an
HPL top layer.
1b. The minimal thickness of the core material is 4 mm. For Solid Surface, Quartz composite,
compact board and natural stone applies a minimal thickness of the core material (solid) of
10 mm. For all materials applies a maximum thickness of 35 mm.
!
The bottom of the core material needs to be completely at. This is to bring the heat
conductor in full contact with the worktop.

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

2a.The C-size should be at least 50 mm (g.1). With the XL models, it should be at least 75 mm (g.2).
The distance between the cut out and the sides (left or right) of the worktop should be at least
150 mm.

2b.The insides of the recess(es) should be smooth and even (g. 3). Irregularities can cause cracking (g. 4).
Facet 1x1 mm

In case of Solid Surface the following extra instructions apply:
!
The guidelines of the manufacturer of the Solid Surface material should always be strictly
followed.
2d. Use a router or CNC machine to prevent jagged recesses.
Radius R= 3mm

2f.Apply aluminium tape and thermo tape in the recess(es), in this order:
1. aluminium tape, 2. thermo tape, 3. aluminium tape (g. 7).
The aluminium tape should be overlapping the worktop surface on the top and bottom with at least 5 mm. The Thermo tape should be overlapping only the top of the worktop with at least 5 mm.
2g.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) (g. 9 and 10).

3a. The cabinets should be placed perfectly levelled ( g. 11 and 12).
3b. In the case of bottom cabinets with a closed top, these should be the same size (+10mm) as the
PITT® cooking module. This is to bring the heat conductor in full contact with the core material.

3c.The PITT
cooking module should have full support on left, right front and back in the kitchen
worktop ( g. 13). This prevents tension in the worktop from the weight of the PITT® cooking
module.
3d. The distance between the kitchen worktop and the wall and/or cabinets should be at least 3 mm ( g. 14). This allows the material to expand.
