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 variations may cause the fit of the downdraft and cooktop to be tight. A countertop (front edge) with a raised lip and/or a wide backsplash (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 support 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 manufacturer'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. 9

Step 2: Prepare Countertop Cutout
Refer to the cooktop installation instructions
for dimensions of cooktop, countertop cut-
out, 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.

clearances consult cooktop Installation
