Cooktops with frame or beveled edges
Sealing advice
The cooktop must not be permanently sealed into the countertop when installed. The sealing strip under the edge of the cooktop provides a sufficient enough seal.
If the cooktop is sealed into position, the countertop or the appliance may be damaged if the cooktop needs to be removed for maintenance or ser- vice.
Tiled countertop |
Grout lines a and the hatched area underneath the cooktop frame must be smooth and even, so that the frame will sit flush with the countertop and the sealing strip underneath the edge of the upper part of the appliance provides a sufficient seal between the cooktop and the countertop.
