•
COUNTERTOP CUT-OUT DIMENSIONS
are specified in the mounting frame drawings.
•
The mounting frames are to be stud-mounted onto the underside of the countertop. The minimum
thickness of the countertop for mounting the frame is 1.5 mm / 0.06 inches, which is about 16-gauge. The
maximum thickness for this application is 3.00 mm / 0.12 inches, which is about 10-gauge.
•
Refer to section
4.3.1 Location and Ventilation
. Ensure all the location and ventilation requirements are
met.
•
When installing two coil carrier sheets on the same
frame, you must install a
non-magnetic steel partition
plate
between the two coil carrier sheets.
To protect the induction unit from water penetration, you must apply and bond the silicone
adhesive properly to create a water-tight seal. Before you begin the installation, it is very
important to use isopropyl alcohol (minimum 70%) or equivalent to clean the flanges/edges and
the counter surfaces where the silicone adhesive will be applied.
To install the mounting frame and Ceran glass:
A.
Orientation: The mounting frame assembly has a set of retaining rails that are hinged at the back of the
frame. The rails can drop down at the front for installing the coil carrier sheet. Ensure to install the frame
in the correct orientation.
B.
Secure the mounting frame to the underside of the counter surface. Stud-mounting method is shown.
