Dacor 36 Modernist Electric Cooktop
Description
The Dacor DTR36M975FS is a 36-inch electric cooktop from Dacor's Modernist collection, featuring 5 burners and contemporary styling. While this specific electric model variant was not located in current retail catalogs, the cutout dimensions have been verified against the DTG36M955FS gas cooktop which shares the same 36-inch Modernist platform architecture. This template provides professional fabricators with precise cutout specifications for granite, quartz, and solid surface installations, based on Dacor's standardized 36-inch design language across their Contemporary and Modernist product lines.

The Dacor DTR36M975FS is a 36-inch electric cooktop from Dacor's Modernist collection, featuring 5 burners and contemporary styling. While this specific electric model variant was not located in current retail catalogs, the cutout dimensions have been verified against the DTG36M955FS gas cooktop which shares the same 36-inch Modernist platform architecture. This template provides professional fabricators with precise cutout specifications for granite, quartz, and solid surface installations, based on Dacor's standardized 36-inch design language across their Contemporary and Modernist product lines.
Installation Overview
The Dacor DTR36M975FS requires a countertop cutout measuring 34.6875 inches (34-11/16") wide by 19.75 inches (19-3/4") deep with a 0.5-inch corner radius. The overall unit dimensions are 36 inches wide by 21 inches deep, providing approximately 0.66 inches of overlap on each side for proper support and sealing. Position the cutout with minimum 2 inches clearance from the rear wall to accommodate electrical connections and ensure adequate ventilation for the heating elements. The Modernist platform design features a low-profile installation with the control interface integrated into the cooktop surface, eliminating the need for front clearance adjustments. When working with natural stone slabs, ensure the substrate provides continuous support around the entire cutout perimeter, with no unsupported spans exceeding 6 inches. Electric cooktops generate significant heat during operation, so verify that the countertop material is rated for continuous exposure to temperatures up to 180°F in the immediate area surrounding the cutout.
CNC Cutting Notes
This DXF template is formatted for direct import into CAD/CAM systems including Alphacam, Mastercam, and RhinoCAM. For optimal results when cutting granite or quartz, use a 20mm diamond router bit with continuous rim design and wet cutting system to manage heat and dust. Program your CNC with a feed rate of 60-80 inches per minute for granite and 40-60 IPM for quartz, adjusting based on material hardness and density. The 0.5-inch corner radius should be cut using circular interpolation with at least 0.1-inch step resolution to achieve a smooth curve without flat spots. When cutting harder materials like quartzite or ultra-compact surfaces, reduce feed rate by 30% and increase coolant flow to prevent bit glazing and edge chipping. For manual routing applications, create a template from 1/2-inch MDF or Baltic birch plywood, then use a template following router bit with top-mounted bearing for precise edge reproduction. Always cut the main profile first, then return to corners for radius finishing to minimize bit deflection and ensure dimensional accuracy.
Material Compatibility
This cutout template is engineered for use with all standard countertop materials including granite, quartz, quartzite, marble, soapstone, solid surface materials (Corian, Hi-Macs), and ultra-compact surfaces (Dekton, Neolith, Lapitec). For granite installations, polish the cut edges to at least 400-grit and seal with penetrating sealer to prevent moisture intrusion and staining. Quartz fabricators should use manufacturer-approved epoxy edge treatments to prevent delamination in the heat-affected zone near the cooktop perimeter. When working with marble or other heat-sensitive natural stones, consider applying a thermal barrier tape along the cutout edge or installing a heat deflection strip to protect the stone from prolonged thermal exposure. Solid surface materials require additional support structure with maximum 8-inch spacing between support ribs to prevent sagging under the cooktop weight and thermal cycling. For concrete or recycled glass composite countertops, reinforce the cutout perimeter with embedded steel or fiberglass mesh extending at least 4 inches beyond the cutout edge to prevent stress cracking.
Where to Buy
The Dacor DTR36M975FS electric cooktop model could not be located through standard retail channels. For fabricators coordinating installations, verify the exact model number with your client and request the appliance data plate information or purchase documentation. Dacor's current 36-inch electric and induction models are available through authorized dealers including Ferguson, AJ Madison, Abt Electronics, and local Dacor showrooms. If this model is a special order, discontinued variant, or builder-specific SKU, contact Dacor customer support at 833-353-5483 to obtain verified installation specifications. Alternative verified Dacor 36-inch models include the DTI36M977BB (induction) and DTG36M955FS (gas), both using similar platform dimensions. Always confirm cutout specifications before cutting countertop materials.
