Installation Instructions
!CAUTION
To avoid risk of property damage after unpacking the cooktop, handle it carefully and do not slide it across countertops.
Installation Options
Some models may be installed with the glass top either resting on the counter or recessed into the counter. Refer to the Installation Instruction booklet included with each model. Recessed installations require a countertop inlay kit, CFK1, available from the dealer. Installation instructions are included with the kit and in this section. The following instructions are for installing the cooktop with the glass top resting on the counter.
Cabinet Cutout
Cooktop dimensions vary among models and require different sized cabinet cutouts. However, the clearance requirements are the same for all models. The table lists the dimensions and cutout requirements for each model. Dimensions “A” and “B” are cutout dimensions. Dimensions “C” and “D” are the cooktops overall dimensions. Each cooktop model has a column in the table. Find the correct column for the model to be installed. Read down the column to find each models specific dimensions.
