Vollrath Induction Template Installation Instructions
The Vollrath induction templates are manufactured to the highest standards. To maximize the life and beauty of these surfaces, read and follow all the instructions provided.
- The Vollrath induction template must only be installed by qualified service or installation personnel.
- These induction templates should only be used with Vollrath drop-in induction cookers and warmers. The top of the induction unit must be in contact with the bottom of the induction template for proper operation.
- Measure the induction template, induction unit, and countertop prior to installation to verify the template will fit.
- Apply food-grade silicone between the induction template and the countertop around the entire edge. This will help the template stay in place and reduce liquid from entering the induction unit.
