Preparation Of Countertop
The countertop cutout must be prepared according to the illustration on page 1 of these instructions.
CAUTION: Cutout dimensions are critical. Dimensions must be measured and cut accurately to within + 1/16″ (.159 cm) to ensure proper fit.
Important Preparation Suggestions
1.Chamfer all exposed edges of decorative laminate to prevent damage from chipping.
2.Radius corners of cutout and file to insure smooth edges and prevent corner cracking. Recommend 1/4″ or 3/8″ diameter drill in each corner.
3.Rough edges, inside corners which have not been rounded and forced fits can contribute to cracking of the countertop laminate.
4.Countertop must be supported within 3″ (7.62 cm) of cutout.
