CUTOUT DIMENSIONS AND REQUIREMENTS
BEFORE YOU START
EN
Do not install the cooktop above an unventilated oven or a dishwasher.
The cooktop is 2-1/2" [6.4 cm] deep, and requires a minimum 1" [2.5 cm] clearance below it.
If a drawer is directly below the cooktop, it and its contents must be heat resistant. Such a
drawer should be placed/arranged so that nothing can be drawn from the drawer into the
ventilation fans of the cooktop.
IMPORTANT PREPARATION SUGGESTIONS
Chamfer all exposed edges of decorative laminate to prevent damage from chipping.
Radius corners of cutout and file to ensure smooth edges and prevent corner cracking. A 1/4" or
3/8" [6.3 - 9.5 mm] diameter drilled hole at each corner to start the cut is recommended.
Rough edges, inside corners which have not been rounded and forced fits can contribute to
cracking of the countertop laminate.
If the countertop material is susceptible to moisture, the cut edges should be sealed with a
suitable sealer. All materials and adhesives must be able to withstand temperatures up to 200°F
[93°C].
The junction box must be accessible with the cooktop in place.
For service purposes it is advisable to have enough access to the bottom of the cooktop so that it
can be lifted out.
* The ventilation opening is to extend the full length of the cooktop cutout.
