If the thickness of the countertop into which the cooktop
is installed does not comply with the specifications, rein-
force the worktop using a fire- and water-resistant mate-
rial until it reaches the minimum thickness. Otherwise,
sufficient stability cannot be assured.
¡
The countertop into which the cooktop is installed
should withstand loads of approx. 133 lbs (60 kg).
¡
Confirm the cooktop is level only after it has been in-
stalled.
3.1 Flush mounting
The cooktop can be mounted flush into the countertop.
Notes
¡
Any cutout work on the countertop must be performed
in a workshop according to the installation diagram.
¡
The cutout edge is visible on the surface after installa-
tion. Ensure that the cutout is made cleanly and pre-
cisely.
¡
Clean and degrease the cutout edges with a suitable
cleaning agent; follow the silicone manufacturer's pro-
cessing instructions.
