Before you start

• Important information. Read carefully and understand the step sequence before starting work.

• Retain these instructions for future reference.

• If you need to store the worktop for any length of time, ensure it is well supported throughout its length in an even room temperature.

• Make a final check for size, design and style compatibility of your worktop before starting work.

• Take extreme care if using sharp implements when removing packaging to avoid damaging the product or causing injury.

• Make sure you have all tools and equipment required for your installation as indicated in these instructions.
  Make sure you fully understand their instructions and use.
  Hint – To avoid any uncertainty, check out appropriate assistance guides typically found on video sharing websites.

• For Power Tools become familiar with their setting and operation first.
  Hint – Practice the expected operation on a surplus piece of similar material!!

• Check wall measurements twice where the worktop is intended to fit.
  Identify any irregularities in straightness and squareness. Make sure any deviations are transferred to the worktop sizing to prevent pinch points or excessive gaps after fitting.
  Hint – Consider making a template first in thin Hardboard sheet to assure exact fit.
  Once assured, transfer the sizes to the worktop to assure correct final sizing.

• After marking out the worktop, check dimensions twice before cutting.
  To allow for natural material movements make sure to allow for a 3mm minimum gap between worktop edge and wall on final fit.

• If your worktop installation will include hardware such as tie-bolts, joint biscuits, joining strips or edging follow any instructions provided with them.

• If your worktop is located over an electrical appliance fit a heat/moisture barrier protector, available separately.

IMPORTANT – Radiused Edge (Post Formed) Worktops.
An alternative to avoid precise joint preparation detailed in the installation images overleaf is to use aluminium joining strips (available separately) for your worktop installation. These allow joints to remain as straight saw cuts with worktops sufficiently aligned by cabinet fitting only. This means routing operations, tie bolts and joint biscuits are not required.
