If the framed electric cooktop is to be used with any combination of additional cooktop units or modules with a filler strip, the cut-out width is calculated by adding the corresponding units’ cut-out dimensions plus 11/4″ (32) for each additional unit. Refer to the illustration below.
IMPORTANT NOTE: For Model CT15E, the cut-out width should be increased from 13 3/8″ (340) to 14″ (356) when installed with multiple units.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Unframed electric cooktops Models CT30EU and CT36EU are not designed to be installed in combination with other cooktop units.
IMPORTANT NOTE: When multiple units are installed side by side, each unit must have its own separate recommended electrical circuit.

When two or more modules are installed together, an integrated module filler strip (# 802726) is recommended. If a 30″ (762) downdraft ventilation system is also installed, an integrated module support for downdraft ventilation (# 803386) is also required.

Flush mount installations are intended for granite, solid surface or stone countertop surfaces only. Failure to use high heat resistant surface will result in countertop damage if hot cooking utensils are accidentally moved off the cooking surface.
MODELS CT30EU AND CT36EU
Unframed electric cooktop Models CT30EU and CT36EU can be mounted flush with the top of the countertop or as a frameless installation with the glass mounted on top of the countertop surface.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The materials required for a flush mount installation are provided with the unframed Models CT30EU and CT36EU. Refer to the instructions provided with the unframed cooktop installation kit (# 811358) for additional specifications.

F L U S H M O U N T I N S TA L L AT I O N
There are two options for a flush mount installation of the unframed electric cooktop; Option 1 and Option 2.
OPTION 1: For this flush mount installation, a recessed area surrounding the standard countertop cut-out is required. Fabrication of the recessed area must take place before the final countertop installation. A template of the countertop cut-out is provided with the unframed cooktop for fabrication purposes.
IMPORTANT NOTE: This fabrication method is not recommended for molded backsplash style countertops (triple cove).
For countertop cut-out dimensions, refer to the Installation Specifications illustration on page 10 for Model CT30EU and page 11 for Model CT36EU.
In order to rout the required recessed area for this flush mount installation, a second template must be made from 1/2″ (13) plywood. The template will be used as a guide for a top bearing router bit.
Make the wood template wide enough so that clamps used to hold this template to the countertop do not interfere with the router base. The cut-out dimension of the wood template should match the outer perimeter of the template supplied with the cooktop.
Center the wood template over the existing cut-out in the countertop and clamp. It may be helpful to use medium-strength double-sided tape to adhere the template to the countertop; this will keep the template from shifting during the routing operation. Make sure that the adhesive can be easily removed by testing it on a scrap piece of the countertop. Using a top bearing router bit with the wood template as a guide, rout out a 5/16″ (8) deep recessed area in the countertop cut-out.

Dimensions in parentheses are in

12

millimeters unless otherwise specified.

OPTION 2: For this flush mount installation, the countertop cut-out will be the same size as the outer edge of the glass top. It is recommended that cooktop itself be used as the template for the cut-out. Turn the cooktop over and mark the opening using the glass top as a template.
It will be necessary to attach L-shaped brackets or cleats to the inner perimeter of the cut-out to support the cooktop. The top edge of the bracket can be no wider than 7/8″ (22) and will be attached 5/16″ (8) below the surface of the countertop. Refer to the illustration below. Attachment of the brackets is up to the installer’s discretion, wherever enough countertop material is present.
For additional support in the cut-out area, adhere scrap countertop material to the bottom side of the countertop. Consult your countertop supplier for the proper methods of attachment.
