Installation Instructions

Cooktop Trim Kit

Use this kit when the countertop cutout is larger than the cutout required by the cooktop’s Installation Instructions.
Reduce the opening by adding wood filler strips. The cooktop trim ring will cover the opening and provide a more
finished professional installation.

STEP 1 INSTALL FILLER STRIPS

• To determine the width of the wood strips needed

at the sides of the opening, measure the countertop
cutout width. Subtract 28-1/2". Divide the remainder
by 2 .

• To determine the width of the wood strips need

on the front and back of the opening, measure the
depth of the opening. Subtract 19-1/2". Divide
the remainder by 2.
