All tolerances: +1/16” (+1.6 mm), -0 unless otherwise stated
NOTES:
1. Chamfer all exposed edges of decorative laminate to
prevent damage from chipping.
2. Radius corners of cutout and file to insure smooth edges
and prevent corner cracking. Recommend 1/4” or 3/8”
diameter drill in each corner.
3. Rough edges, inside corners which have not been
rounded and forced fits can contribute to cracking of the
countertop laminate.
4. This cooktop has been designed with wide tolerances of
cut-out to cover possible replacement with other brands.
Dacor recommends that you use the minimum cutout
dimensions in the case of new installation.

structural members interfere with space requirements.
7. The junction box, must be located where it will allow
considerable slack in the conduit for serviceability.
8. For solid surface material installations such as Surel™
