WARNING

To reduce the risk of ignition of surrounding
combustible materials, install at least 2" (51 mm)
from both sidewalls and the rear wall.
The countertop must be level and horizontal. The stability
of the countertop must be maintained after the cut-out
has been made.
Solid surface countertops often require special
installations. For example, heat-reflective tape and
rounded corners may be necessary. Contact the
countertop manufacturer for instructions specific to your
countertop.
