Sealing advice
The cooktop must not be permanently
sealed into the countertop when
installed. The sealing strip under the
edge of the cooktop provides a
sufficient enough seal.
If the cooktop is sealed into position,
the countertop or the appliance may
be damaged if the cooktop needs to
be removed for maintenance or ser-
vice.
Tiled countertop
Grout lines a and the hatched area
underneath the cooktop frame must be
smooth and even, so that the frame will
sit flush with the countertop and the
sealing strip underneath the edge of
the upper part of the appliance
provides a sufficient seal between the
cooktop and the countertop.
