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 below and on pages 2-4 for preparing the
cutout.
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 ensure 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 in the positioning of the cooktop in the center.)
5.
Trim excess aluminum tape from along the frame
edges. BE CAREFUL not to scratch the countertop.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
1.
Attach flexible conduit to the junction box.
2.
Connect the cooktop lead wires to the junction
box supply wires in proper phase:
For all models, connect black (L1) to
black, red (L  2) to red, white wire to
neutral and green wire to ground.
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 Use & Care Manual, Page
9.
4.  Turn on power supply.
5.  Test operation.
NOTE:  Your cooktop surface needs to be cleaned
daily. Refer to the Use and Care section before using
it for the first time.
