1. Worktop material suitable for PITT® cooking

1a. PITT® cooking can safely be built into:

• Compact board (eg. Trespa)


• Quartz Composite (eg. Caesarstone, Silestone)
• Concrete
• Glass
• Terrazzo
• Natural stone (eg. granite, marble)
• Stainless steel
• Ceramics

PITT

cooking should never be installed into solid wood and worktops with an HPL
top layer.

1b. The minimum thickness of the core material is 4 mm.


For Quartz composite, compact board and natural stone applies a minimum
thickness of the core material (solid) of 10 mm.
For Top Side for all materials, a maximum thickness of 35 mm applies.
For Front Side for all materials, a maximum thickness of 25 mm applies.

! The bottom of the core material needs to be completely flat, in order to bring the
heat conductor in full contact with the worktop.

2. Manufacturing recesses (cut-outs)

! The guidelines of the kitchen manufacturer and/or the manufacturer of the kitchen
worktop should always be strictly followed.

2a. The C-size for Top Side models should be at least 50 mm (fig.1).

2b. The C-size for Front Side models should be at all times 75 mm (fig.3)

Front Side can be applied to the front side of the work top as well as the blind of the kitchen
cabinet (whether indented or not). The center of the knobs measured from the top of the
worktop is at least 50 and at most 100 mm (fig.4).

2. Manufacturing recesses (cut-outs)

Fig. 5 Fig. 6

2c. The insides of the recess(es) should be smooth and even (fig. 5). Irregularities can
cause cracking (fig. 6).

Facet 1x1 mm

2d. On the top and bottom of the recess(es) should be a facet of at least 1x1 mm be
applied (fig. 7).

3. Installation worktop

The guidelines of the kitchen manufacturer and/or the manufacturer of the kitchen worktop
!
should always be strictly followed.

3a. The cabinets should be placed perfectly levelled (fig. 14 and 15).

3b. In the case of bottom cabinets with a closed top, these should be the same size (+10 mm)
as the PITT® cooking module. This is to bring the heat conductor in full contact with the core
material.

3c. The worktop should have full support on the left, right, front and back side of the PITT
cooking unit (fig. 16). This prevents tension in the worktop from the weight of the cooking unit.
We advise to support the worktop with a ladder frame.

3d. The distance between the kitchen worktop and the wall and/or cabinets should be at least 3
mm (fig. 17). This allows the material to expand.
