and installation procedures. Follow the guidelines below for preparing the cutout
for solid surfaces.
Figure 5 - Prepare the Countertop
1. Round the cutout corners according to instructions from the countertop manu-
facturer.
2. Apply heat reflective tape (such as Scotch® Aluminum Foil Tape #425 or
#427) around the cutout so that it folds over the top and side surfaces. Be
sure the tape extends beyond the outermost flange of the cooktop. All corners
should also be covered with tape.
3. Attach brackets to the burner box using washers and screws provided. Use a
wooden block underneath the countertop before tightening the bracket
screws.
4. Center cooktop in the cutout to ensure adequate clearance between the
burner box and countertop edge. (A light pencil mark along the center of front
edge and side edge of cooktop and counter will aid in the positioning of the
cooktop in the center.)
5. Trim excess aluminum tape from along the frame edges. BE CAREFUL not to
scratch the countertop.
