Preparation Of Countertop

The countertop cutout must be prepared according to the

illustration on page 1 of these instructions.

CAUTION:

Cutout dimensions are critical. Dimensions

must be measured and cut accurately to within + 1/16″

Important Preparation Suggestions

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

1/4or 3/8diameter 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. Countertop must be supported within 3″ (7.62 cm) of

cutout.
