The Fisher & Paykel CDV3365N delivers professional cooking performance in a 36-inch format designed for premium countertop installations. As countertop fabricators specializing in high-end kitchen projects, we understand the exacting standards required for professional-grade gas appliances.

Our CAD-verified DXF template provides the dimensional accuracy necessary for seamless integration with granite, quartz, marble, and solid surface materials while maintaining the structural integrity essential for long-term appliance stability.
Installation Overview
Successful CDV3365N installation begins with understanding the relationship between the 34.375-inch cutout width and the 36-inch appliance overall dimension. This 1.625-inch total overhang (approximately 0.8125 inches per side) provides minimal rim support, making cutout accuracy critical for proper appliance seating and gasket compression. The 19.5-inch cutout depth matches the smaller CDV3304N model, maintaining Fisher & Paykel's standardized depth across their professional cooktop line—a consideration when planning multi-appliance installations. Fabricators must account for the five-burner layout when determining countertop seam locations. The center burner's position makes perpendicular seams particularly vulnerable to thermal stress; always maintain 10-inch minimum clearance from any seam to the cutout center point. In standard 25-inch depth countertops, the cutout positioning leaves approximately 5.5 inches from the rear edge—adequate for gas line routing but requiring careful coordination with cabinetry for access panel placement. Corner radius execution at 0.5 inches is non-negotiable; these radii distribute mounting stress and ensure proper gasket sealing against gas leakage.
CNC Cutting Notes
CNC programming for 36-inch professional gas cooktops requires strategic toolpath planning to balance efficiency with edge quality. Begin with perimeter roughing using a 0.75-inch diameter straight carbide bit, leaving 0.125 inches for finish passes. Execute corner radii with a 0.5-inch or 0.625-inch ball nose end mill, using helical interpolation rather than plunge cutting to minimize tool deflection and chatter. For granite and quartzite, implement coolant flooding at the cut zone—dry cutting generates excessive heat that can induce micro-fractures extending several millimeters from the cut edge. Program spindle speeds between 14,000-16,000 RPM for carbide tooling with feed rates around 80-100 IPM on roughing passes, reducing to 40-50 IPM for finish cuts. Waterjet operations benefit from taper compensation programming; a 0.5-degree taper adjustment compensates for abrasive stream divergence, ensuring dimensional accuracy at the top surface where mounting occurs. Bridge saw operators should note the extended 34.375-inch width may require repositioning mid-cut on smaller tables—plan cut sequences to complete one full length before repositioning. Post-cutting inspection should verify all internal corners achieve the specified radius without flat spots that could create stress concentration points. Edge finishing to 320-grit minimum is essential before appliance installation to prevent micro-chip propagation during bracket tightening.
Material Compatibility
The CDV3365N's professional-grade thermal output demands careful material selection and preparation. **Granite and natural stone:** Premier choice for gas cooktops due to superior heat resistance and dimensional stability. Dense, low-porosity granites like Absolute Black, Blue Pearl, and Uba Tuba provide optimal performance. Ensure wet cutting practices to prevent heat-induced cracking, and seal all cut edges with high-temperature penetrating sealer rated to 500°F. **Quartz and engineered surfaces:** Generally compatible but requires attention to resin content and color selection. Lighter colors with lower resin ratios (Caesarstone Pure White, Silestone White Storm) perform better than darker, resin-heavy options which may experience slight yellowing around high-BTU burner zones over years. Maintain router speeds under 16,000 RPM during cutting to prevent resin scorching. Apply protective film to top surface during installation to prevent scratching from mounting hardware. **Marble and softer stones:** Proceed with caution. While structurally adequate for cooktop support, softer materials (Carrara, Calacatta) are vulnerable to acid etching from cooking spills and may require quarterly resealing. Consider metal channel reinforcement around cutout perimeter for materials rating below 7 on Mohs scale. **Solid surface (Corian, Staron):** Requires additional support structure. Install continuous backing within 6 inches of all cutout edges using marine-grade plywood or aluminum channel. Material flexibility necessitates shimming adjustment during appliance installation to prevent settling. **Ultra-compact surfaces (Dekton, Neolith):** Excellent thermal performance matches professional cooking demands. Requires waterjet or specialized saw cutting—standard carbide tooling wears rapidly. These materials' brittleness demands stress-free mounting; avoid over-torquing installation brackets.
Where to Buy
Fisher & Paykel's CDV3365N professional gas cooktop is distributed through authorized premium appliance dealers including Designer Appliances, US Appliance, AJ Madison, and the Fisher & Paykel direct dealer network. Fabricators working on custom home projects should establish trade accounts with regional appliance wholesalers for access to specification sheets, installation templates, and technical support. Ferguson Enterprises and Weinstein Supply maintain commercial divisions offering competitive trade pricing and job-site delivery coordination. Always verify the specific model variant with clients—the CDV3365N (natural gas) and CDV3365L (liquid propane) share identical cutout dimensions but have different gas line requirements affecting installation planning. Request cut sheets directly from Fisher & Paykel's trade resources portal for dimensional verification before fabrication. For high-volume builders and production fabricators, consider establishing direct relationships with Fisher & Paykel's commercial accounts division for volume pricing and technical support access. Lead times for professional-grade appliances can extend 6-12 weeks during peak construction seasons; coordinate delivery schedules with countertop installation timelines to prevent job delays.
