￿Seal any wooden work surfaces with a special varnish, silicone rubber, or resin, to help prevent swelling from moisture.

The materials used must be temperature-stable.

If, during installation, you find that the seal on the corners of the frame are not flush with the countertop, the corner radii ￿ R4 can be carefully cut out with a jig saw.

No clamps will be required to for installation of the appliances, a seal underneath will keep the cooktop solidly seated in the cutout. The gap between the frame and the countertop will reduce over time.

￿Place the cooktop centered in the cutout. Ensure that the cooktop seal sits flush with the countertop on all sides. This is necessary for a proper seal all the way around. Do NOT use sealant.
