Protecting the Countertop from Heat
Sources
NOTE: Installing the countertop over a heater is
not recommended.
□
If appliances such as a dishwasher, washing machine,
refrigerator, or oven are to be mounted under the wooden
countertop, appropriate insulation must be applied to the
underside. This will protect the top from excessive heat
and moisture.

Mounting the Countertop to your
Cabinets
□
Mount the countertop to the cabinet frame or drill overized
holes in your support blocks.
□
Using washers, screw the countertop all the way, then
withdraw the screw by a quarter turn to preserve the
natural wood work, while keeping the countertop in
position.
