This template corresponds to an invalid model number. GE Cafe does not manufacture a CEP70302NS1 electric cooktop. The correct model is likely CGP70302NS1, which is a 30-inch gas cooktop with 5 sealed burners. Before using this template for countertop fabrication, verify your appliance model number directly from the product label or installation manual to ensure accurate cutout dimensions.
Installation Overview
Standard gas cooktop installations require a 28.5" x 19.625" cutout for the CGP70302NS1 model. The installation process involves creating a precise rectangular opening with 0.5" corner radius in the countertop surface. Gas cooktops require additional considerations including gas line connections, electrical supply for ignition (120V, 5A), and proper ventilation. Clearance requirements include 18" minimum from countertop to overhead cabinets and adequate space for service access. Always consult the manufacturer installation instructions and local building codes before beginning installation.
CNC Cutting Notes
This DXF template provides exact cutout dimensions for CNC router programming. Program your toolpath with appropriate offset for the router bit diameter. Use a 0.5" radius bit or smaller for corner cuts. For natural stone or quartz, use diamond-coated bits and wet cutting methods. Feed rates should be adjusted based on material hardness - typically 50-100 IPM for engineered stone, slower for natural granite. Apply masking tape on the surface to prevent chipping. Consider a climb cutting approach for cleaner edges. Post-cutting, verify dimensions before appliance installation and test-fit the cooktop.
Material Compatibility
This template is compatible with granite, quartz, marble, soapstone, and solid surface countertops. Gas cooktops generate significant heat, so ensure adequate clearance from combustible materials. Natural stone and engineered quartz provide excellent heat resistance. Laminate countertops are not recommended for gas cooktop installations due to heat exposure. For outdoor applications, use weather-resistant materials like granite or concrete. Edge treatment should account for the weight of the cooktop and continuous grates - reinforcement may be required for overhangs exceeding 10 inches.
Where to Buy
GE Cafe cooktops are available through authorized appliance retailers including Home Depot, Lowe's, Best Buy, AJ Madison, Appliances Connection, and independent appliance dealers. When purchasing, verify the exact model number on your invoice matches your design plans. Many retailers offer delivery and installation services. Consider purchasing extended warranty coverage for built-in appliances. Online retailers often provide competitive pricing, but ensure proper shipping protection for heavy appliances. Always verify cutout dimensions from the manufacturer specification sheet included with your appliance before cutting.
