LG 36 Electric Cooktop
Description
The LG CBEJ3627S is listed as a 36-inch electric cooktop in our database, though our research indicates that the similar model CBGJ3627S (a gas cooktop) is the verified product in LG's current lineup. The cutout dimensions of 33.875" x 19.625" with a 0.5" corner radius match the specifications for the CBGJ3627S, LG's 36-inch smart gas cooktop featuring 5 burners with a powerful 22,000 BTU UltraHeat dual burner, weighted LED illuminated knobs, and EasyClean stainless steel surface. For countertop fabricators, this template provides precision dimensions that have been verified against LG's specification sheets. The CBGJ3627S (and presumably the CBEJ3627S if it exists as an electric variant) features overall dimensions of 36" W x 21" D x 3.75" H, with the cutout precisely specified at 33-7/8" x 19-5/8" in manufacturer documentation. This CNC-ready template works seamlessly with granite, quartz, marble, and solid surface materials. The 36-inch width provides ample cooking surface for serious home chefs while maintaining standard countertop proportions. As with any appliance cutout, we strongly recommend verifying the exact model number and dimensions with the installation guide included with your specific appliance before cutting. The template's 0.5" corner radius prevents stress concentrations in stone materials and ensures proper cooktop seating. Whether you're working with the gas CBGJ3627S or a potential electric CBEJ3627S variant, this template provides professional-grade accuracy for high-end kitchen installations.

Installation Overview
Installing an LG 36-inch cooktop requires careful attention to cutout dimensions and utility connections. Begin by verifying your actual model number - if you have a CBEJ3627S, confirm specifications with LG or your appliance dealer, as this model number may be a variant or error for the CBGJ3627S gas model. The cutout dimensions are 33.875" (33-7/8") wide by 19.625" (19-5/8") deep with a 0.5" corner radius. Mark the cutout location on the countertop surface, ensuring adequate clearance from walls (minimum 3 inches) and backsplash. Verify that the base cabinet structure provides solid support across the cutout perimeter. For the CBGJ3627S gas model, you'll need a 120V electrical connection for the electronic ignition and LED controls, plus a gas supply line compliant with local codes. If working with an electric variant (CBEJ3627S), verify electrical requirements - electric cooktops typically require 240V, 30-50 amp dedicated circuits depending on element configuration. Ensure the junction box is positioned in the cabinet below the cooktop, offset from the cutout center to avoid mounting hardware conflicts. If a drawer is present below the cooktop location, verify minimum 4" clearance from the countertop underside to the drawer top. The cooktop's overall 36" width requires careful positioning - measure cabinet opening precisely and center the cutout unless the design specifies otherwise. After cutting, thoroughly clean and seal all exposed stone edges with a quality penetrating sealer to prevent moisture infiltration and staining. The CBGJ3627S weighs approximately 35-40 lbs and uses manufacturer-supplied mounting clips that secure to the countertop underside.
CNC Cutting Notes
Programming CNC cuts for the LG 36-inch cooktop requires precision due to the large cutout size and tight tolerances. Import the DXF template into your CAM software and verify dimensions: 33.875" x 19.625" with 0.5" corner radius. Cross-reference these dimensions with the installation guide for your specific model (CBEJ3627S or CBGJ3627S). For granite and natural stone, use premium diamond-tipped router bits with aggressive water cooling to manage heat generation on the long cut paths. Set spindle speeds between 3,500-6,000 RPM depending on material hardness - harder exotic granites require lower speeds to prevent tool wear and surface burning. Feed rates should be 35-75 IPM for natural stone, adjusted based on material characteristics and visible grain structure. Quartz and engineered stone can handle faster feed rates (50-100 IPM) due to their consistent composition and lack of natural fissures. Program a multi-pass cutting strategy to manage the long cut path: roughing pass removing 90% of material, semi-finish pass leaving 1/32", and final finish pass for smooth edges. The 0.5" corner radius is critical - program this with a radius end mill or ball-nose bit matching the specification exactly. Sharp corners create stress concentration points that can lead to cracking during installation or thermal cycling. For the 36-inch width, material overhang and support become critical considerations. Ensure your slab has adequate width to accommodate the cutout plus minimum 4" of material on each side for structural integrity. Position a minimum of 4-6 support tabs around the cutout perimeter, with extra tabs on the long sides to prevent sagging or movement before completion. Consider material grain direction when positioning tabs for easier removal. For polished edge applications (less common for cooktop cutouts but sometimes specified for custom installations), program a polish cycle using progressively finer grits or plan for hand polishing with diamond pads. Always simulate the complete tool path and verify clearances before cutting expensive materials. Test cuts on scrap material are especially important for 36-inch cutouts where material costs and waste are significant.
Material Compatibility
This 36-inch cooktop template is compatible with all standard countertop materials, with specific considerations for each material type. Granite remains the most popular choice for installations at this price point, offering natural beauty, heat resistance, and durability. Use sharp diamond tooling and appropriate feed rates for your specific granite type - harder granites like absolute black or blue pearl require more conservative cutting parameters. The 0.5" corner radius helps distribute stress across the grain structure, critical in natural materials with directional characteristics. Quartz and engineered stone provide excellent dimensional stability and consistent cutting characteristics, making them ideal for large cutouts like this 36-inch opening. Their uniform composition eliminates concerns about hitting quartz veins or other hard inclusions during cutting. Edge quality is consistently high with proper tooling. Marble and natural stone with prominent veining require extra planning - orient the cutout to avoid cutting across major veins that could weaken the structure. Softer marbles need reduced feed rates and razor-sharp tooling to prevent edge chipping and surface spelching. Solid surface materials like Corian work well with cooktops and can be cut with carbide tooling, offering seamless integration possibilities for custom designs. For the 36-inch width, material thickness becomes important - 3cm materials are strongly recommended for structural integrity around this large cutout. While 2cm materials can technically work, they require additional support from the base cabinet and potentially supplemental reinforcement with steel brackets or epoxy-bonded rods. Verify that adequate material remains on each side of the cutout (minimum 4 inches, preferably 6+ inches) to maintain structural integrity. For undermount installations, edge finishing varies by material: polished or honed edges for granite and quartz (though typically not visible under the cooktop rim), seamlessly integrated for solid surface materials. All exposed stone edges must be sealed immediately after cutting - use a penetrating sealer that won't affect the mounting clip adhesion. The large cutout size makes edge sealing especially important as more surface area is exposed to potential moisture infiltration. LG's cooktop designs work with both light and dark countertop colors, though darker materials provide better visual integration when the cooktop is not in use.
