Prepare the Countertop Install the Cooktop

Cut out the countertop per the dimensions shown in “Cabinet Requirements” on page 3.

Insert cooktop into the cutout. Attach clamps of the hold- down brackets packaged with the cooktop to the rough-in box. Use the washer and screws provided.

Some solid surface materials, such as Surell™ and Corian®, require different cutting methods. Consult with the solid surface manufacturer for the correct cutting method needed. Apply heat reflective tape such as Scotch Aluminum Foil Tape #425 or #427 (not included) 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.
