If the thickness of the countertop into which the cooktop
is installed does not comply with the specifications, rein-
force the worktop using a fire- and water-resistant mate-
rial until it reaches the minimum thickness. Otherwise,
sufficient stability cannot be assured.

The countertop into which the cooktop is installed
should withstand loads of approx. 133 lbs (60 kg).

Confirm the cooktop is level only after it has been in-
stalled.
3.1 Flush mounting

cleaning agent; follow the silicone manufacturer's pro-
cessing instructions.
