WARNING
To reduce the risk of ignition of surrounding
combustible materials, install at least
2" (51 mm) from both sidewalls and the rear
wall.
The countertop must be level and horizontal. The
stability of the countertop must be maintained after
the cut-out has been made.

installations. For example, heat-reflective tape and
rounded corners may be necessary. Contact the
countertop manufacturer for instructions specific to
your countertop.
