Cooktops with trim or bevelled edges

Installation

Preparing the countertop
 Create the countertop cut-out as
shown in the cooktop diagram.
Remember to maintain the minimum
safety distances (see "Safety
clearances").
 Seal any cut surfaces on the wooden
countertop with a special varnish,
silicone rubber, or resin to prevent the
wood from swelling as a result of
moisture. The sealant must be
temperature-resistant.
Make sure that the sealant does not
get on countertop surface.
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.
Connecting the power cable to the
appliance
The mains power cable must only be
connected by a suitably qualified and
competent person.
 Follow the instructions in the wiring
diagram (see "Electrical connection -
Wiring diagram").

Installing the cooktop
 Feed the appliance power cord down
through the counter cut-out.
 Center the cooktop in the cut-out.
Make sure that the seal under the
cooktop sits flush with the counter on
all sides. This is important to ensure
an effective seal.
Never seal the cooktop using
additional sealant (e.g. silicone).
If the seal does not sit flush with the
countertop in the corners, the corner
radius (≤ R4) can be carefully cut to fit
using a jigsaw.
 Connect the cooktop to the electrical
power supply.
 Check that the cooktop works.
