CREATIVE SOLUTIONS
• When the kitchen
design calls for an
against-the-wall
installation, move
the base cabinet
forward 3" to 5".
Filler panels or
complementary
moldings can be
added to exposed
cabinet sides.
• In an island or
peninsula, use
an extra-deep
countertop.
The countertop
overhang at the
front can be
adjusted to meet
setback to cutout
requirements.
• When the cutout
to the front edge of the countertop requirement is
more than 2", add a bullnose trim to the front edge
of the countertop. Include the trim thickness when
measuring the front edge to cutout requirement. By
adding the trim, the cooktop can be moved forward,
PREPARING THE COUNTERTOP
Cut out the opening. Measure carefully when cutting
the countertop, making sure the sides of the opening
are parallel and the front and rear cuts are exactly
perpendicular to the sides.
The front of the opening must clear the front support
rail on the cabinet, and the rear of the opening must
clear the rear support of the cabinet.
Chamfer all exposed edges of decorative laminate to
prevent damage from chipping.
Radius corners of cutout and file to ensure smooth
edges and prevent corner cracking.
Rough edges inside corners which have not been
rounded and forced fit can contribute to cracking of the
countertop laminate.

providing additional countertop depth and interior

• When the distances between the vent and the
inside cabinet side walls are more than 5-1/2" and/
or the inside cabinet back wall is more than 4-1/2",
false walls should be constructed inside the cabinet
for securing the vent with the stabilizing brackets
(refer to Cutouts and Clearances under Installation
Preparation.)
