Installation
Preparing the countertop
Create the countertop cut-out as
shown in the cooktop diagram. Re-
member to maintain the minimum
safety distances (see “Installation –
Safety distances”).
Seal any cut surfaces on the wooden
countertop with a special varnish, sili-
cone rubber, or resin to prevent the
wood from swelling as a result of
moisture. The sealant must be tem-
perature-resistant.
Ensure that the sealant does not get
on the top surface of the countertop.
The sealing strip ensures that the
cooktop will sit securely in the cut-out
without slipping. Any gap between the
trim and countertop will become
smaller over time.
Installing the cooktop
Feed the appliance power cord down
through the counter cut-out.
Place the cooktop centrally in the
cut-out. When doing this make sure
that the seal of the appliance sits
flush with the countertop on all sides.
This is important to ensure an effec-
tive seal all round.
If during installation the seal around
the frame does not sit flush with the
countertop in the corners, the corner
radius, maximum 3/16" (
≤
R4/ 4 mm),
can be carefully filed down to fit.
Do not use any additional sealant
(e.g. silicone).
Connect the cooktop to the electrical
power supply (see “Installation –
Electrical connection”).
Connect the cooktop to the gas sup-
ply (see “Installation – Gas connec-
tion”).
