the dimensions shown. The circular dimension of 18-1/8” is the diameter of the drip pan to
the outside ange material thickness (located to the inside of the half-rolled bead edge). The
drip pan cutout must be made precisely to these dimensions (or at a maximum +1/16”) so
that the half-rolled top bead on the drip pan edge overhangs the cutout dimension by .25”.

INCORRECT ALIGNMENT OF DRIP PAN
AND CHASSIS TO COUNTERTOP
Possible reasons for incorrect alignment:
1. Top of cabinetry box is less than 3 cm
from countertop
2. Chassis mounting brackets are too high.
Black o-ring under
drip pan bead
STEP 2 continued: Make sure cabinetry box is 1-1/2” below countertop surface and
mounting brackets are positioned correctly so drip pan and chassis are aligned to countertop.
(see diagrams above). A black o-ring is recessed in the top bead and designed to create a
seal against the countertop.
Also ensure allowance for the countertop overhang as shown on the SIDE VIEW (see next
page).
When you have conrmed the position is correct, cut the countertop and substrate.

surface in the area of the drip pan, separated by a towel or cardboard to prevent damage to
the drip pan.
TC (Thermal Couple Temperature Detector)
Used To Electrically Monitor Cook Surface Temperatures At Inner And Outer Zones. The Afnity 30Ge
uses K-Value TC’s.
The numbers show TC threaded stud locations for attaching TC wires. Each TC stud location has a
corresponding numbered TC connection wire located at a respective location on the heat shield under
the burners. When cook surface is lowered to its nal location, the TC studs and wires are vertically
aligned.
The Inner Zone (Inner Burner) has one TC at #1 position. The Outer Zone (Outer Burner) has three
TC’s at positions #2, #3, and #4. The Outer TC’s average three locations for consistent temperature
delivery.

Step 7 continued: Connect temperature sensor leads as per diagram and tighten. Ensure
there are no excess wires near the burners or draping on the heat shield.
Locate two (2) j-hooks attached to underside of cooktop, cut zip ties and remove nyloc nut.
Then carefully lower the cook surface sliding the j-hooks through guide tubes and direct
excess TC wire back through the heat shield so there is a direct and straight path from the
cook surface connection down through the heat shield.
