NOTE: When making the countertop, radius the corner of the cutout (1/4" radius is typical). This will
prevent cracking of the countertop. Follow manufacturer's instructions regarding minimum
corner radius and reinforcement of corners.
Installation
1. Attach the self-adhesive sealant as described below. The sealant prevents liquid from infiltrating
into the cabinet. Additionally, the cooktop should be bedded to the countertop using a soft
bedding compound that will prevent damage if later removal for service is necessary. The
mounted special seal prevents this damage. Strictly comply with the following instructions in
order to correctly apply this seal:
a. Detach the seals from their backing, checking that the transparent protection still adheres to
the seal itself.
b. Turn the cooktop over and correctly position the seal under the edge of the cooktop so that
the outer side of the seal aligns with the outer peripheral edge of the cooktop (refer to Fig.
5). The ends of the strips must fit together without overlapping.
c. Fix the seal to the cooktop evenly and securely, pressing it in place with your fingers.
3. Attach the mounting brackets to the inside bottom surface of the cutout (refer to Figs. 6-7-8).
The brackets are to be mounted on opposing sides.
4. Center the bracket in the opening flush with the countertop, and secure with long self-tapping
screws (included).
5. Position the cooktop in the cutout opening and press firmly on all sides to seal the frame into the
bedding compound.
6. Secure the cooktop to the brackets from underneath with the small sheet metal screws that are
supplied. There are two mounting brackets for the single and double glass
7. ceramic cooktops and four brackets for the triple glass ceramic cooktop.
8. These brackets are designed to tighten the cooktop and then seal it onto the counter to avoid
any movement of the cooktop and to provide good insulation.
