The job
A kitchen with wood-grain cabinets had an empty cutout in the counter where the old cooktop used to be. The after photo shows a black glass cooktop seated in that cutout, above the wall oven.
Typical steps for this job
The photos show the start and the finish; these are the usual steps in between:
- The old unit was already out: the before photo shows the bare cutout between the microwave and the oven.
- The new cooktop was checked against the cutout size.
- It was lowered into the counter and seated level with the stone top.
- The counter around it was left clean, ready to cook on.
Cooktops are sold in standard widths, but cutouts vary; measuring the opening before buying saves a trip back to the store.
