Step 2: Prepare Countertop Cutout

For installation with a Bosch cooktop, refer to Part A and Figure 7 (Page 12).

For installation with another brand of cook- top, refer to Part B (Page 13).

For all installations verify that all cutouts will clear the inside of the front countertop support rail, and that the cooktop and vent will be centered left to right within the cutout. Also, make certain that the front and rear cutouts are straight and parallel to the front edge of countertop and the rear backsplash and/or wall. Assure that the side cutouts are square to the front and rear cutouts. All illustrations and dimensions are based on standard 24” deep by 36” high American style base cabinets with 25” countertops.

When installing laminated or solid surface countertops such as Surell™ and Corian®, be sure to follow the countertop manufacturer’s instructions regarding minimum comer radii, reinforcement of corners, etc.

For overhead cabinet and cooktop side clearances consult cooktop Installation Instructions.

A. For installation with a cooktop (Figure 7 and Table 2)

Provide an opening in the countertop as specified in Table 3 (Page 13). Make sure that the distance from the front of the countertop to the front of the cutout is not less than dimension ”SB”. Verify that the available flat countertop is

greater than dimensions “OW” by “OD”. Make certain that the backsplash thickn- ess does not exceed dimension “BT”.
