SOLID SURFACE COUNTERTOPS

Consult counter manufacturer for requirements.
Countertops made from natural (i.e. granite) or Solid Surface Materials (i.e. Surell™) require special cutout
preparation and installation procedures. Follow all guidelines in preparing the cutout.
Round the cutout corners according to instructions from the countertop manufacturer.
Apply heat reflective tape (i.e. Scotch Aluminum Foil Tape #425 or #427) around the cutout so that it folds
over the top and inside surfaces of cutout. Be sure tape extends to the outermost edge of the cooktop. Cover all
corners with tape. See FIG
