SOLID SURFACE COUNTERTOPS
H
Always consult the countertop manufacturer
for specific instructions.
Countertops made from natural (i.e. granite and
marble) or SOLID SURFACE MATERIALS, such as
Surell™ and Corian
®
, require special cutout
preparation and installation procedures. Follow the
guidelines in preparing the cutout dimensions. Refer
to Pages 2 and 3.
Install the cooktop as follows:
1.
Round the cutout corners according to
instructions from the countertop manufacturer.
2.
Apply heat reflective tape (such as Scotch
Aluminum Foil Tape #425 or #427) around the
cutout so that it folds over the top and side
surfaces. Be sure the tape extends beyond the
outermost flange of the cooktop. All corners
should also be covered with tape.
3.
Attach brackets to the burner box using washers
and screws provided. Use a wooden block
underneath the countertop before tightening the
bracket screws.
4.
Center cooktop in the cutout to insure adequate
clearance between the burner box and countertop
edge. (A light pencil mark along the center of front
edge and side edge of cooktop and counter will
aid positioning of the cooktop in the center.)
5.
Trim excess aluminum tape along the frame edges.
BE CAREFUL not to scratch the countertop.

The cooktop can be installed over a single Thermador
®
electric oven. The cooktop should be located on the
same center line as the under-the-counter single oven.
If a single oven is installed under the cooktop, see Figure

for the location of the junction boxes.
NOTE: Thermador single oven Models S301, SC301,
C301 and CM 301 installed under-the-counter with a
Thermador
®
electric cooktop over it is a UL approved
installation.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

ground, white neutral to white. White neu-
tral must be grounded at breaker box.
NOTE: If the cooktop is installed and connected as
specified above, it will be completely grounded in
compliance with the National Electrical Code.
3. Remove everything from the cooktop surface and
apply Cooktop Cleaning Creme (packaged with
cooktop), as directed in Care & Use Manual, Page
