Countertops made from natural (i.e. granite and marble) or SOLID SURFACE MATERIALS, such as Surell™ and Corian®, require special cutout preparation and installation procedures. Follow the guidelines in preparing the cutout dimensions. Install the cooktop as follows:

A.Round Corners on Cutout

Round the cutout corners according to instructions from the countertop manufacturer.

B.Seal the Cooktop

Apply heat reflective tape (such as Scotch® Aluminum Foil Tape #425 or #427) around the cutout so that it folds over the top and side surfaces. Be sure the tape extends beyond the outermost flange of the cooktop. All corners should also be covered with tape. Let bottom edge of tape hang free. See Fig. 3 on Page 23.

C.Attach Brackets

Attach brackets to the burner box using washers and screws provided. Use a wooden block underneath the countertop before tightening the bracket screws. See Fig. 4 on Page 23
