WARNING
To avoid electrical shock hazard, before installing
the cooktop, switch power off at the service panel to
prevent the power from being switched on
accidentally.
Cut out the countertop per the dimensions shown in the
section
“Cabinet Requirements”
.
Some solid surface materials require different cutting
methods. Consult with the solid surface manufacturer for
the correct cutting method needed. Apply heat reflective
tape such as Scotch Aluminum Foil Tape #425 or #427
(not included) around the cutout so that it folds over the
top and sides. Do not wrap the tape underneath the
cooktop. Be sure the tape extends beyond the outermost
flange of the cooktop. All corners should be covered with
tape.
