Installation Procedure Prepare the Countertop 9 WARNING To avoid electrical shock hazard, before installing the cooktop, switch power off at the service panel to prevent the power from being switched on accidentally. Seal the Cooktop with Foam Tape Note: Failure to install the foam tape may affect burner performance. Apply the self adhesive foam tape in one continuous rectangle directly to the counter around the perimeter of the cutout as shown by the dotted line in the image below. The foam tape should be flush with the edge of the cutout. Cut out the countertop per the dimensions shown in the section "Cabinet Requirements". Some solid surface materials require different cutting methods. Consult with the solid surface manufacturer for the correct cutting method needed. Apply heat reflective tape such as Scotch Aluminum Foil Tape #425 or #427 (not included) around the cutout so that it folds over the top and sides. Do not wrap the tape underneath the cooktop. Be sure the tape extends beyond the outermost flange of the cooktop. All corners should be covered with tape. $ Foam Tape Placement-Counter Cutout A Foam Tape Placement $ Solid Surface Countertops-Counter Cutout A Heat Reflective Tape 8
