Prepare Installation Space

Create the cut-out in the countertop according to the
installation diagram. The angle of the cut surface to the
countertop must be 90°.
The lateral cut-out edges must be flat in order to ensure
that the retaining springs are positioned properly on the
appliance. With multi-layered countertops, secure strips
laterally in the cut-out if necessary.
After creating cut-out, remove shavings. Seal cut
surfaces in a heat- and water-resistant manner.
Observe minimum distance between device underside
and cabinet surfaces of
The worktop into which the cooktop is installed must be
heat-resistant up to 140° F (90 °C).

combustible materials, install at least 2" (51 mm)
from both sidewalls and the rear wall.
The countertop must be level and horizontal. The stability

has been made.
Solid surface countertops often require special
installations. For example, heat-reflective tape and
rounded corners may be necessary. Contact the
countertop manufacturer for instructions specific to your
countertop.
