Step 2: Prepare Countertop Cutout
Refer to the cooktop installation instructions
for dimensions of cooktop, countertop
cutout, and cabinet requirements prior to
making any cutouts. Cooktop depth and
countertop back-splash depth can vary
greatly from one to another. These variati-
ons may cause the fit of the downdraft and
cooktop to be tight. A countertop (front
edge) with a raised lip and/or a wide backs-
plash (back edge) may not allow enough flat
countertop for a proper installation.
Y Check that the cooktop is far enough
forward that the downdraft will fit behind
it. Verify all dimensions prior to cutting
the countertops.
Use the physical products to confirm
cutouts whenever possible.
For all installations verify that all cutouts will
clear the inside of the front countertop sup-
port rail, and that the cooktop and vent will
be centered left to right within the cutout.
Also, make certain that the front
and rear cutouts are straight and parallel to
the front edge of countertop and the rear
backsplash and/or wall. Assure that the
side cutouts are square to the front and rear
cutouts.
All illustrations and dimensions are based
on standard 24” deep by 36” high American
style base cabinets with 25” countertops.
When installing laminated or solid surface
countertops such as Surell™ and Corian ® ,
be sure to follow the countertop manufac-
turer’s instructions regarding minimum
comer radii, reinforcement of corners, etc.
Note: Check boxes as tasks are completed.
For overhead cabinet and cooktop side
clearances consult cooktop Installation
Instructions.
Notes
Dimension ”SB” is the minimum distance from the leading edge of the counter to the lea-
ding edge of the cutout.
Dimension ”BT” is the thickness of backsplash that provides 1/4” clearance between vent
and backsplash. Any backsplash with a curved radius where it meets the counter will requi-
re additional clearance. Thicker backsplashes may be used by increasing the counter and
cabinet depths.
Set the cooktop into the countertop opening so that the back edge of the cooktop overlaps
the leading edge of the downdraft.
