Installation instructions - EKWE/EKWH - USA
Marking out the cut-out
– Draw the installation dimensions in accordance with your calculations.
– Draw the cut-outs for the bottom pans (white areas) in accordance with
the drawing on the left.
The openings for the heater current should face
outwards
(see arrows) in
order to have the widest possible frames. If these openings face towards the
inside the frame width will be reduced, thus jeopardizing the stability of the
worktop.
* Only permissible for worktops with a depth of at least 650 mm (25-9/16").
For the EKWE 320 control element, no opening, only a round cut-out for the
bottom pan has been provided for.
Cut-out in worktops made of solid surface
When selecting a solid surface worktop for your Küppersbusch Honeycomb
Cooktop, please note that some solid surface manufacturers such as Corain
®
do not offer a warrenty on their product if a flush fitting cooktop of any
manufacturer is installed.
Bottom pan cut-out
The worktop is cut right out for the cut-outs of the bottom pans, since these
elements protrude underneath the worktop.
– Make the cut-outs for the bottom pans of the honeycomb cooking zones.
Trimming the cut-out for the honeycombs
• In the case of solid surface worktops it is absolutely essential to smoothen
the edges, since microcracking may result in tears in the solid surface
worktop.
In the second stage the cut-out for the hexagonal honeycomb cooking zones
(installation area) is trimmed. The minimal requirement for this step is a
routing machine with a guide.
In the case of solid surface worktops the hexagonal cut-out must be at least
5.5 mm deep. Here the honeycomb cooktop will protrude by 1 mm and will
thus protect the surface of the worktop from unintended contact with the base
of a hot pan.
– Trimming the cut-out for the honeycombs (including the joints).
– Deburring and smoothening of all of the milling edges
* Only permissible for worktops with a depth of at least
650 mm (25-9/16").
