B. FOR INSTALLATION WITH ANOTHER BRAND OF COOKTOP (Figure 8)
Have the following cooktop measurements available before proceeding All cooktop dimensions should be verified through measurement prior to cutting the countertop:
CCW = Cooktop Cutout Width
CCD = Cooktop Cutout Depth
COW = Cooktop Oberall Width
COD = Cooktop Oberall Depth
with the above dimensions confirmed, determine the cutout size as follows:
1.Find the cutout width, (CW):
If CCW is smaller than the cutout width then:
Width | CW |
|
|
30” | 283/8 |
|
|
36” | 343/8 |
|
|
If CCW is larger than the cutout width then:
CW = CCW
See Figure 8 for cutout widths and dimension definations.
2.Calculate the cutout depth, CD: Determine the cooktop overhang (CO)
CO =
CD = COD -
3.Determine setback (SB) distance from front of countertop to front of cutout. SB is specified in the installation instructions shipped with the cooktop.
4.Backsplash thickness must not exceed BT as calculated below:
BT = 24 7/8” -
(Provides 1/8” clearance between vent and backsplash.) A negative value for BT means countertop is too small for the installation.
5.Verify that the available flat countertop has a width greater than OW and a depth greater than OD.
OW depends on the installation:
Width 30”: OW equals the greater of COW or 31”.
Width 36”: OW equals the greater of COW or 37”.
OD is determined by: OD = COD + 21/8”.
6.Cut countertop using dims: CD, CW and SB as defined in Figure 8.
