Sealing | Tiled surfaces |
The appliance must not be permanently sealed into the countertop when installed. The sealing strip under the edge of the appliance provides a sufficient seal for the countertop.
If the appliance is sealed into position, the countertop or appliance could be damaged if it needs to be removed for maintenance or service.
The grouting and shaded area under the appliance frame must be flat and even so that the frame will lie evenly and the sealing strip under the edge of the upper part of the appliance can provide an adequate seal against the countertop.
