structions.
General countertop requirements:
¡ The angle of the cut surface to the countertop surface
must be 90°.
¡ With multi-layered countertops, secure strips laterally in
the cutout if necessary.
¡ After creating the cutout, remove all debris.

for protecting the cut edges, e.g. apply heat resistant foil
tape.
¡ If the cooktop will be installed in combination with an
oven, refer to the Approved Combination Matrix in-
cluded with the product for cutout and clearance dimen-
sions.
¡ Observe the minimum distance between device under-
side and cabinet surfaces of ⅜" (10 mm).
