Installation Overview
The Thermador PCG305W requires a cutout measuring 29.125 inches wide by 22.8125 inches deep with 0.375-inch corner radii. Unlike standard drop-in cooktops, this rangetop design demands attention to the deeper cutout dimension of nearly 23 inches, which impacts cabinet configuration and backsplash positioning. The overall unit dimensions of 29.9375 inches by 25.8125 inches create a minimal lip around the cutout, making precision critical for aesthetics and proper support. Fabricators must account for the rangetop's elevated burner grates, which sit higher than traditional cooktops, potentially affecting sight lines and workspace ergonomics. The installation requires adequate clearance for gas line connection and electrical supply for the electronic ignition system. Support structures must accommodate the unit's substantial weight while maintaining clearance for heat dissipation. The DXF template includes alignment guides for centering within standard 30-inch base cabinets, ensuring symmetrical appearance and proper clearance to adjacent surfaces.
CNC Cutting Notes
Programming the PCG305W cutout requires careful attention to the 0.375-inch corner radii and the rectangular geometry. Use appropriate tooling for your material type, typically 0.125-inch radius diamond bits for natural stone. The deeper cutout dimension of 22.8125 inches may approach the maximum depth capacity of some countertop slabs, so verify material dimensions before programming. Execute corners with reduced feed rates to maintain smooth radii without chipping, particularly important in granite and quartzite. For quartz materials, ensure adequate coolant or air assist to prevent heat discoloration along cut edges. The cutout's rectangular proportions make it straightforward for CNC programming, but verify all four corners maintain consistent radii. Test runs on scrap material are recommended when working with exotic stones or materials prone to chipping. Edge finishing should be completed to a smooth, polished condition as the rangetop's minimal overlap exposes more of the cut edge than traditional drop-in designs.
Material Compatibility
This cutout template works with all standard countertop materials including granite, marble, quartzite, quartz composite, and solid surface materials. The 29.125-inch width fits standard 30-inch base cabinets with appropriate overhang. The deeper 22.8125-inch dimension requires verification of countertop depth, particularly in peninsula or island installations where countertop depth may be limited. Natural stone slabs should be a minimum 3cm thickness to provide adequate support and heat resistance for the high-BTU burners. Quartz materials perform well with this application given their heat resistance and structural integrity. Solid surface materials require additional support beneath the cutout due to the rangetop's weight and heat output. The template accommodates various edge profiles, though fabricators should account for the rangetop's elevated surface when planning edge treatments. Material selection should consider heat resistance, as the PCG305W's professional burners generate significant heat that can radiate to surrounding surfaces.
