Miele KM 5993 - Manual (Page 52)

Preparing the countertop
^ Use the dimensional line drawing to
make a work cut-out.
Be sure to observe the minimum
distance from the rear wall and
from the left or right to a side wall.
See the section on "IMPORTANT
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS -
INSTALLATION".
^ Seal any wooden work surfaces with
a special varnish, silicone rubber, or
resin, to help prevent swelling from
moisture.
The materials used must be
temperature-stable.
If, during installation, you find that
the seal on the corners of the frame
are not flush with the countertop, the
corner radii
ß R4 can be carefully
cut out with a jig saw.
No clamps will be required to for
installation of the appliances, a seal
underneath will keep the cooktop
solidly seated in the cutout. The gap
between the frame and the
countertop will reduce over time.
Inserting the cooktop
^ Feed the appliance power cord
downward through the cut-out.
^ Place the cooktop centered in the
cutout. Ensure that the cooktop seal
sits flush with the countertop on all
sides. This is necessary for a proper
seal all the way around. Do NOT use
sealant.
^ Connect the cooktop.
^ Check the cooktop for function.
