3. GENERAL PROCESSING GUIDELINES 3.6.1 HOT TOP CUTOUT The following points must be observed for the installation of heat sources (hot top, grill, integrated deep-fryer etc): • Flush installation is prohibited because otherwise there is a risk that hot pots will project beyond the hot top and come into direct contact with the Varicor ® 3 mm panel. In addition, the heat expansion of the hot top leads to stress in the hot top cutout. This can lead to the formation of cracks. Only use attached hot tops in the cooking areas. • When gas hot tops and raised cooking plates which radiate extreme heat are installed, the hot top must be set up on 12 mm thick Varicor ® strips, see section 3.6.1.1. • The hot top cutouts must always be made with a hand router to avoid stress cracks. Do not use a jig saw. • Always make the radii in the corners of the hot top cutouts as large as possible, at least 15 mm. • The cutout of the hot top must be designed with a margin of at least 4 mm all around the hot top. Check the dimensions of the template supplied by the appliance manufacturer and correct the cutout appro- priately. Furnish the Varicor ® 3 mm cut edge with a 3 mm radius. • Seal the substructure near the cutout with sealing material (silicone / PUR etc.) to prevent the penetration of moisture. • Insulate the Varicor ® 3 mm panel with insulating tape made with silicone foam down to the substructure. Finally, insulate the complete cutout over the insulating tape additionally with aluminium adhesive tape. • Do not place hot pots directly on the Varicor ® 3 mm surface. • Ensure a minimum distance of 15 mm between the lower edge of the heat source (e.g. hot top) and the upper edge of the lower cabinet to avoid heat accumulation and to enable air circulation. 3.6.1.1 GAS HOT TOP When gas hot tops, grills, integrated deep-fryers etc. which radiate extreme heat are installed, the hot top must be set up on 12 mm thick Varicor ® strips (Fig. 14). All intensive heat sources (hot tops, deep-fryer, grill) must be spaced at least 50 mm from the back wall or the back splash to avoid damages caused by excessive heat effects. 3.7 BONDING IN VARICOR ® MOULDED PIECES • The distance between two cutouts must be at least 80 mm. • Draw the planned position of the sink on the surface • The middle axis of the sink is marked on the back of the sink on the right and on the left. • Pre-cut the sink cutout with an overhead template, make the cutout approx. 3 mm smaller than the inner dimension of the sink. • Using a rebate cutter, cut away approx. 30 mm of the substructure all around the cutout, leaving only 3 mm of the Varicor ® coating. • Check the fit of the sink. Ensure a distance of max. 2- 3 mm between the Varicor ® sink edge of the substructure. • The space between the sink and the substructure is filled up later during gluing in with Varicor ® adhesive up to 8 mm. This increases the adhered surface and buckling strain will be avoided. • Remove dirt from the adhered surfaces on the sink and on the panel (sanding paper grain 180, for dark colours 240). • Apply adhesive to panel and glue sink underneath.

3. GENERAL PROCESSING GUIDELINES 3.7 BONDING IN VARICOR® MOULDED PIECES (FOLLOWING) • Fix sink with clamping device so that it completely covers the cutout; panel must protrude longitudinally by at least 500 mm on both sides. • Fill up the gap between the Varicor ® sink and edge of the wooden substructure with Varicor ® adhesive to enlarge the adhered surface. • Remove the clamping device only after the adhesive has hardened. • Grind the edge of the sink with 3 mm radius cutter until flush. 3.8 DRILLHOLES / CONNECTIONS 3.8.1 DRILLHOLES Make smaller diameter drillholes with hard tipped drills (up to max. 13 mm diameter). Make larger drillholes, such as e.g. holes for taps, overflow power box etc. with a Forstner bit or a keyhole saw. Seal the open cut edges of the substructure with a sealant to prevent the penetration of moisture. 3.8.2 SCREW CONNECTIONS Do not screw threads and screws directly into Varicor ® 3 mm. This also applies for thread inserts for screwing in because these can lead to the formation of cracks. If it is required to screw bolts through the Varicor ® 3 mm panel into the substructure, please pre-drill the screw hole in the Varicor ® 3 mm panel accordingly. Select a drill hole which is clearly larger than the shaft of the screw. The conical design of the screwhead may not jam in the Varicor ® 3 mm drillhole. Round head wood screws with plastic washers are best suited for this purpose. 3.9 SURFACE FINISH The surface finish is responsible for stain resistance, pleasance to the touch and optic of the material, this means the finer the surface, the more insensitive it is to soiling. The face side of the Varicor ® 3 mm panel is furnished with a machine finish grain 400. The face side of the moulded pieces have a final finish grain 320. After processing, such as e.g. bonding, cutting etc., the surface of the respective areas must re-obtain a higher degree of gloss. The following points are important for preparing the Varicor ® 3 mm surface: The listed polishing sequences apply for areas which were severely stressed during processing. If the surfaces were not processed (no binding, no cutting, no scratches etc.) the polishing sequence can be shortened, this means processing of the surface from grain 400. We recommend to treat dark surfaces with “Glanz S” (care product for stainless steel) before the delivery of the application ** (3). (FOLLOWING) Page 11 of 16
