• Measure carefully when cutting the
countertop. Make sure sides of the opening
are parallel and rear and front cuts are
exactly perpendicular to sides.
• Measure to be sure there is room for
clearances to the front edge of the
countertop.
• Refer to cooktop installation instructions
to be sure that models fit into the base
cabinets being used.
• Identify the cutout illustration for the
cooktop model you are installing.
– Draw lines on the countertop to follow as a
cutting guide. Measure and mark cooktop
and vent overlaps to be sure there is
enough flat countertop depth.
