Create the cut-out in the countertop according to the
installation diagram. The angle of the cut surface to the
countertop must be 90°.
The lateral cut-out edges must be flat in order to ensure
that the retaining springs are positioned properly on the
appliance. With multi-layered countertops, secure strips
laterally in the cut-out if necessary.
After creating cut-out, remove shavings. Seal cut
surfaces in a heat- and water-resistant manner.
Observe minimum distance between device underside
and cabinet surfaces of
3
/
8
" (10 mm).
The worktop into which the cooktop is installed must be
heat-resistant up to 140° F (90 °C).
The worktop must be reinforced if it is less than
4
/
5
inch
(20 mm) thick.
If the thickness of the worktop into which the cooktop is
installed does not comply with the specifications,
reinforce the worktop using a fire- and water-resistant
material until it reaches the minimum thickness.
Otherwise, sufficient stability cannot be assured.
▯
The worktop into which the cooktop is installed should
withstand loads of approx. 133 lbs (60 kg).
▯
Only check the evenness of the cooktop after it has
been installed.
Cutting out countertop
Flush mounting:
Flush mounting into a countertop is
possible.
Flush installation:
The appliance can be installed in the
following temperature- and water-resistant countertops:
▯
Stone countertops
▯
Plastic countertops (such as Corian®)
▯
Solid wood countertops: Only in consultation with the
manufacturer of the countertop (seal cut-out edges)
▯
Installation in other countertops only in consultation
with the manufacturer of the countertop.
Installation in countertops made of particleboard is not
possible.
Note:
Any cut-out work on the countertop must be
performed in a workshop according to the installation
diagram. The cut-out must be made cleanly and precisely
since the cut-out edge is visible on the surface. Clean
and degrease the cut-out edges with a suitable cleaning
agent (bear in mind silicone manufacturer's processing
instructions).
