Prepare Installation Space

Create the cut-out in the countertop according to the
installation diagram. The angle of the cut surface to the
countertop must be 90°.
The lateral cut-out edges must be flat in order to ensure
that the retaining springs are positioned properly on the
appliance. With multi-layered countertops, secure strips
laterally in the cut-out if necessary.
After creating cut-out, remove shavings. Seal cut
surfaces in a heat- and water-resistant manner.
Observe minimum distance between device underside
and cabinet surfaces of
The worktop into which the cooktop is installed must be
heat-resistant up to 140° F (90 °C).
The worktop must be reinforced if it is less than
(20 mm) thick.
If the thickness of the worktop into which the cooktop is
installed does not comply with the specifications,
reinforce the worktop using a fire- and water-resistant
material until it reaches the minimum thickness.
Otherwise, sufficient stability cannot be assured.
The worktop into which the cooktop is installed should

be designed accordingly. The following is required for
this:

and the kitchen wall, and between the surface of the
worktop and the upper area of the drawer.
