Create the countertop cut-out. Re-
member to maintain the minimum
safety distances (see "Installation –
Safety distances").
Seal any cut surfaces on wooden
countertops with a special varnish,
silicone 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.
Attach the sealing strip provided un-
derneath the edge of the cooktop. Do
not apply the sealing strip under ten-
sion.
Feed the cooktop power cord down
through the cut-out in the countertop.
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.
Do not use any additional sealant
(e.g., silicone) on the cooktop.
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.
