Installation Procedure

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.

Cut out the countertop per the dimensions shown in the

section "Cabinet Requirements".

Some solid surface materials 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 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.

Note: Failure to install the foam tape may affect burner

performance.

Apply the self adhesive foam tape in one continuous

rectangle directly to the counter around the perimeter of

the cutout as shown by the dotted line in the image

below. The foam tape should be flush with the edge of

the cutout.
