Installation
Preparing the countertop
Create the countertop cut-out. Re-
member to maintain the minimum
safety distances (see “Installation” –
“Safety distances”).
Wooden countertops
Seal any cut surfaces on the wooden
countertop with a special varnish, sili-
cone rubber, or resin to prevent the
wood from swelling as a result of
moisture. The sealant must be tem-
perature-resistant.
Ensure that the sealant does not get
on the top surface of the countertop.
The sealing strip ensures that the
cooktop will sit securely in the cut-out
without slipping. Any gap between the
trim and countertop will become
smaller over time.
Securing the spring clamps
The exact positioning of the spring
clamps is shown in the individual
cooktop diagrams.
Wooden countertops
Position the spring clamps on the
top edge of the cut-out as shown in
the cooktop illustration.
Fasten the spring clamps using the
13/8“ (3.5)x1” (25mm) wood
screws supplied with the appliance.
