As the ceramic glass slab and the
counter cut-out have a certain dimen-
sional tolerance, the width of the gap
(min. ¹/₁₆" [2 mm]) can vary.
Create the countertop cut-out. Re-
member to maintain the minimum
safety distances (see "Installation –
Safety distances").
Solid-wood, tiled, and glass counter-
tops:
Fix a wooden frame 1/4" (7 mm be-
low the top edge of the countertop.
Feed the cooktop power cord down
through the countertop cut-out.
Center the cooktop in the cut-out.
The gap between the ceramic surface
and the countertop must be at least
1/16" (2 mm) wide. This is required so
that the cooktop can be sealed.
Connect the cooktop to the electrical
power supply.
Check that the cooktop works.
Seal the gap between the cooktop
and countertop with a silicone sealant
that is heat-resistant to at least 320°F
(160°C).
Damage caused by unsuitable
sealant.
Unsuitable sealant can damage nat-
ural stone.
For natural-stone countertops and
natural-stone tiles, only use silicone
sealant that is specially formulated
for natural stone. Please follow the
manufacturer's instructions.
