Seal between cooktop and
counter
In case a disassembly is required,
the appliance must not be perma‐
nently sealed into the countertop
when installed. The sealing strip un‐
der the edge of the appliance pro‐
vides a sufficient seal for the coun‐
tertop.
If the appliance is sealed into posi‐
tion, the countertop or appliance
could be damaged if it needs to be
removed for maintenance or service.
Tiled countertop
The grouting
and shaded area under
the appliance frame must be flat and
even so that the frame will lie evenly
and the sealing strip under the edge of
the upper part of the appliance can
provide an adequate seal against the
countertop.
