Page 5 3. Preparing the countertop Please read this section prior to making a cutout in your counter for the cooktop. It is important to plan ahead for installation of the cooktop, keeping the following dimensions in mind. (Please refer to Fig. A.) A. Maximum depth of overhead cabinets should be 13 inches. B. Minimum height of the countertop above the floor should be 36 inches. C. Minimum flat countertop surface that the cooktop will rest upon must be equal to or greater than the overall cooktop dimensions.
Page 6 Before making the countertop cutout, check for clearance. See if the cooktop will clear the front and side walls of the base cabinet. It is also important to provide enough ventilation. Adequate ventilation of the space below the countertop must be provided to ensure proper operation of the cooktop. Heat transferred from the cooktop bottom pan during operation will overheat an improperly ventilated area.
Page 7 4. Installing the Cooktop The cooktop should be bedded to the countertop using a soft bedding compound that will prevent damage if later removal for service is necessary. A very small bead of silicone sealant should be laid around the edges of the cutout. Installation of the cooktop into the countertop Place the cooktop in the cutout opening and press firmly on all sides to seal the frame into the bedding compound. The sealant will hold the cooktop firmly in place on the countertop.
Page 8 5. Electrical Connection Before proceeding further, verify that the power supply is disconnected. Verify that the appropriate electrical supply requirements have been met. Please refer to the table on page 4 for appropriate electrical requirements. The cooktop is supplied with a 48-inch long conduit for a connection to an accessible junction box. The conduit consists of three insulated wires.
