1 / INSTALLATION

To install the cooktop, cut out a rectangular opening in the counter as shown on the drawing and table below. Also, ensure that you have a minimum of 10 mm (3/8”) of space in the back of the unit, between the rim and backsplash on your counter (or wall if no backsplash) for ventilation.

A self-adhesive gasket is supplied with your unit. Before setting the cooktop in place install this gasket by sticking it underneath the rim.

IApply the gasket only along the front rim and on both sides. Do not put this gasket on the rim in the back. This gasket will prevent most of the spills from entering the cabinet below and will keep the unit in place. Once the gasket is installed, place the cooktop in the opening, and lay it on the rim. Do this carefully - do not drop the unit into the cut- out. Make sure that the unit is sitting properly on its rim all around the perimeter.

f your counter is produced from porous materials which tend to swell if in contact

with humidity and water, to better protect the cut-out, use proper sealants on the

edge which would prevent any penetration of humidity and water. Chamfer all exposed edges of decorative laminates to prevent further chipping. Radius corners of the cut-out and file them to ensure smooth edges and prevent

corner cracking.

Rough edges and inside corners which are not rounded as well as forced fits can

contribute to cracking of counter top laminate.
