Installation Procedure

9 WARNING
To avoid electrical shock hazard, before
installing the cooktop, switch power OFF at the
service panel to prevent the power from being
switched ON accidentally.

Prepare the Countertop

Cut out the countertop per the dimensions shown in
"Cabinet Requirements" on page 8
Some solid surface materials, such as Surell™ and
Corian®, require different cutting methods. Consult
with the solid surface manufacturer for the correct
cutting method needed. Apply heat reflective tape
such as Scotch Aluminum Foil Tape #425 or #427 (not
included) around the cutout so that it folds over on the
top and sides. Do not wrap the tape underneath the
cooktop. Be sure the tape extends beyond the
outermost flange of the cooktop. All corners should
be covered with tape.
