Installation Overview
The CGP70362NS1 requires a precise cutout measuring 33.875" wide by 19.125" deep with rounded corners. Professional installation involves careful measurement, template alignment, and precision cutting to ensure the cooktop sits flush with the countertop surface. Gas cooktops need gas supply line connection (convertible to LP), 120V electrical for electronic ignition, and adequate ventilation. Maintain 18" minimum clearance from countertop to overhead combustibles. Support the countertop with adequate bracing around the cutout perimeter to distribute the appliance weight. Follow all local building codes and manufacturer installation specifications.
CNC Cutting Notes
Import this DXF template into your CNC software and verify scale accuracy before cutting. Set appropriate tool offset compensation for your router bit diameter. For 36-inch cooktop cutouts, ensure your material is properly secured to prevent movement during cutting. Use a multi-pass approach for thick materials - depth per pass should not exceed bit manufacturer recommendations. Corner radius of 0.5" requires compatible radius bit or multiple passes with smaller bit. Apply blue painter tape on cut lines to reduce surface damage. Dry-fit the appliance before final installation to verify accuracy. Clean all edges thoroughly and apply appropriate sealant before setting the cooktop.
Material Compatibility
This template works with all common countertop materials including granite, engineered quartz, marble, quartzite, soapstone, and concrete. The 36-inch gas cooktop is substantial and requires adequate support - ensure minimum 3cm thickness for stone materials or proper reinforcement for thinner installations. Avoid laminate or tile for gas cooktop applications due to heat exposure concerns. The sealed burner design helps protect countertop surfaces, but proper ventilation remains essential. For island installations, consider accessibility for gas line and electrical connections from below. Stone materials provide optimal heat resistance and durability for high-BTU gas cooking appliances.
