STEP 2: Mark the finished position of the Evo Affinity 30Ge drip pan on the countertop using
the dimensions shown. The circular dimension of 18-1/8” is the diameter of the drip pan to
the outside flange 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”.

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

TC (Thermal Couple Temperature Detector)
Used To Electrically Monitor Cook Surface Temperatures At Inner And Outer Zones. The Affinity 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 final 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.

there are no excess wires near the burners or draping on the heat shield. Then
carefully lower the cook surface and push excess wire back through the heat shield so
