WarmlyYours FeelsWarm® Countertop Heating - Manual (Page 4)

Read these instructions completely before starting assembly and installation.
1. EVALUATE AND PREPARE THE SURFACE OF THE COUNTERTOP
A. Evaluate the lower surface of the countertop to determine if the Surface Prep Kit must be used to securely bond the
heater. Use the peel test strip included in this package to evaluate whether the surface of the stone needs the Surface
Prep Coating. If the counter is “rough cut” natural stone, the WarmlyYours FeelsWarm® Surface Prep Coating will
be necessary.
B. To determine whether or not the stone surface will be acceptable as is (without the Surface Prep Coating), attach the peel
test strip to the underside of the counter and press with fairly hard pressure. Let the strip remain on the stone for 12
hours, then peel the strip off by hand. If the strip bonds extremely well, then applying the Surface Prep Coating is
not necessary.
• If there is support wood on the bottom surface of the stone (common for thinner stone countertops), the heater
can be attached to the wood instead of directly to the stone. HOWEVER, the wood must be prepared with the
Surface Prep Coating to ensure the heater bonds sufficiently.
• Man-made stone countertops, such as Quartz, Silestone, and similar products DO NOT NEED the Surface Prep
Coating.
C. If it is determined that the coating is needed, apply the Surface Prep Coating onto the area where the heater is to
be attached. Follow the instructions below, labeled “Surface Prep Instructions”. The coating must cure completely—
approximately 90 min.
D. Clean the surface where the heater will be attached. Perform this step whether the surface has been coated or not.
Clean with a rag and isopropyl alcohol. This will remove dirt, dust, and other debris. Let dry completely (approximately
10 minutes).
E. If your heater is larger than 4 square feet or is an unusual shape or configuration, you will need another person to help
attach the heater to the countertop.
