Installation Overview
The Viking RVEC3365BSS requires a cutout measuring 34.875 inches wide by 20 inches deep with 0.375-inch corner radii. The overall appliance dimensions are 36.75 inches wide by 21 inches deep with a height of 4.5 inches. Installation requires a dedicated 240V electrical circuit with appropriate amperage (typically 40-50A). The cooktop should be positioned with adequate clearances from combustible materials and walls as specified in Viking's installation guide. Ensure the countertop material thickness can support the cooktop weight and that the cabinet below provides sufficient ventilation and access for electrical connections. Professional installation by a licensed electrician is recommended to ensure compliance with local electrical codes and warranty requirements.
CNC Cutting Notes
Cut this template with precision CNC router equipment using carbide-tipped bits appropriate for your countertop material. For granite and quartz, use a feed rate of 20-40 IPM with multiple depth passes to prevent chipping. The corner radius of 0.375 inches is critical for proper appliance seating鈥攗se a matching radius end mill or ball nose bit. Maintain dimensional tolerance within 卤1/16 inch maximum. Apply masking tape to the cut path to minimize surface chipping on delicate materials. For natural stone, use water cooling during cutting to reduce dust and prevent heat damage. Always perform a test fit with cardboard or template material before cutting the final countertop. Verify measurements against the actual appliance when possible, as manufacturing tolerances can vary slightly between units.
Material Compatibility
This template has been successfully used with granite, engineered quartz, natural quartzite, marble, soapstone, solid surface materials (Corian, Hi-Macs), and ultra-compact surfaces (Dekton, Neolith). The smooth cutout geometry is well-suited for all common countertop materials. For natural stone with significant veining or fissures, plan cut paths to avoid structural weakness. Laminate countertops are not recommended for drop-in cooktops of this size due to heat exposure and weight considerations. The 0.375-inch corner radius accommodates standard CNC tooling available for most materials. When working with leathered or textured finishes, ensure the cooktop flange will seat properly on the surface texture.
