WARNING
Joint Compound where required
Joint compounds such as Durabond 90 and tapes that are resilient to heat and cracking should be used when
taping and mudding seams.
Setting tiles and grouting
We recommend you use tiles with a dry butt joint to be installed using a two-part mortar with an acrylic latex
additive, such as Mapei Kerabond/Kerlastic, to allow for slight movement in the normal operation of the appli-
ance.
If grout is used between the tiles, a polymer-based grout, such as Mapei Ultracolour plus, is recommended.
Primer/Paint
For a painted surface, use a 100% acrylic latex primer and fi nish coat. Light coloured paints may discolour.
A NON-COMBUSTIBLE FINISHING MATERIAL BORDER, SUCH AS BRICK, MARBLE, GRANITE, ETC.
IS REQUIRED. FINISHING WITH JUST NON-COMBUSTIBLE BOARD TO THE SIDES AND TOP OF THE
APPLIANCE IS NOT ALLOWED.
THE SURFACE ABOVE THE APPLIANCE GETS VERY HOT. IF PROPER FINISHING MATERIALS ARE
NOT USED, CRACKING CAN OCCUR.
