• How to make the opening size for a CG Gas Cooktop Contemporary opening

Answer:

The opening for the Contemporary CG Gas Cooktop is 35" x 20" for standard installation.

• Flush installation cutout width is 35" x 20" with 36" x 21" for the recess opening.
• These exact dimensions are suggested for proper installation.
• The cutout width cannot be smaller than 36" x 21" for flush inset.
• The 36" CG Contemporary Gas Cooktop measures 35-15/16" W x 6-3/4" H x 20-15/16" D.
• The outside radius of the cut-out is 3/8".
• The cutout width can be larger than 36" x 21", but a larger opening will create a larger gap.
• For a typical installation, the distance from the front of the countertop to the front edge of the cooktop is 3-1/2".
  • This depth may be adjusted from a minimum of 2" to a maximum of 5".
  • Do not remove the zip ties that hold the ACDC rectifiers to the manifold.
  • If the excess tail end of the zip tie interferes with the installation, it can be removed.
• Do not use the cooktop as a template to plan the cutout opening size.
