STEP 2: Mark the fi nished position of the Evo Affi nity 25E drip pan on the countertop using
the dimensions shown. The circular dimension of 31-11/16” is the diameter of the drip pan
to the outside fl ange 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”.

COUNTERTOP INSTALLATION (2 of 4)
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
page).
When you have confi rmed the position is correct, cut the countertop and substrate.
CORRECT ALIGNMENT OF DRIP PAN
AND CHASSIS TO COUNTERTOP
INCORRECT ALIGNMENT OF DRIP PAN
AND CHASSIS TO COUNTERTOP
Possible reasons for incorrect alignment:
1. Top of cabinetry box is less than 3 cm

REMOVABLE SPILLOVER TRAYS
The Affi nity grill has removable waste pans concealed in doors on both the right and left side of the front control panel.
It is very important to monitor the level of spillover in the trays, and immediately empty when they are near full or after
each use.
Opening Spillover Tray Doors - To open a door, grasp the door at its bottom and pull forward.
Do not operate cook top or clean drip pan into spillover slots without waste pans installed in
spillover doors. Failure to install waste pan will result in cooking grease contamination to the
underside of door. This requires immediate cleaning.

Do not allow spillover liquids or debris down spillover slots when doors are open. Any liquids or
debris that may fall into this area when doors are open should be immediately wiped with a dry
cloth, and keep this area clean at all times.
Do not allow the spillover trays to overfl ow, and do not allow full trays to splash over edge when
cleaning. Spillover debris and liquids can be hot and cause burns, and/or damage to the internal
operation of the grill.

Regular cleaning and care for your Evo Affi nity 25E cooktop will keep it looking and functioning it’s best.
The cook surface is designed to hold a fi ne layer of cooking oil creating a ‘seasoning’ on its surface. This
seasoning promotes a non-stick cooking surface and is easily maintained.
Caring for Evo’s cook surface is much like maintaining cast iron cookware. When the surface requires cleaning,
there are a few basic cleaning techniques to use. For quick and routine cleaning between preparations, a metal
spatula or scraper works for removing the majority of surface debris. For tougher areas or where sugars glaze
the cook surface, pour a small amount of warm water on the soiled surface while the grill is warm and scrape the
debris away with a spatula. Heat the cook surface to a high temperature and allow the sticky debris to become
brittle. Once the debris is brittle, use the spatula or scraper to remove it. Afterwards wipe the cook surface with
vegetable oil again before cooking.
To condition the Evo cook surface you should use the grill cleaning kit supplied with your grill. The grill cleaning kit
contains a blue grill pad handle, grill cleaning screens, and grill grey polishing pads. Use the polishing pad after
the grill cleaning pads to achieve a smooth cooking surface for the most delicate foods and applications.
To use a grill cleaning screen: With a warm cook surface, place one gray polishing pad between the grill handle
base and the grill screen, so the grill screen makes direct contact with the cooking surface. Pour a small amount
of vegetable oil on the cook surface and scrub the surface in a circular motion. The gray polishing pad allows
excess oil to be absorbed and scours the cooking surface of carbonized debris. When fi nished scrubbing, wipe
the surface down with a paper towel or cotton terry cloth.
The drip pan located just below the cook surface is designed to catch food debris and drippings from the cook
surface. We recommend cleaning the drip pan after your grill has cooled to prevent the possibility of touching
hot adjoining surfaces. The drip pan is easy to wipe out with soap and water using a kitchen sponge. For added
convenience, two removable stainless ninth-pans are mounted inside doors at right and left side of the front control
panel for collecting drip pan debris and spill overs. These spillover trays can be easily washed by hand or in a
dishwasher. Be sure to empty the spillover trays after every use, and at a minimum, whenever they appear half
full.
All the stainless steel components on your grill can be easily polished using a stainless steel cleaner/polish.
Information about purchasing replacement grill cleaning and polishing pads is available on our Website. The Evo
web site address is: www.evoamerica.com.
Cooking Techniques
Stovetop Cooking and Heat Zones
You can use Evo’s cook surface similar to the burners on your kitchen stove top. Adjust Evo’s heater elements to
control the temperatures of the cook surface “heat zones.” Evo’s circular grill top is divided into two distinct zones.
The center control panel knob controls the “inner heat zone,” which is also the inner circle of the cook surface at
approximately an 11” radius from the center of the cook surface. The outer control panel knob controls the “outer
heat zone,” which is the outer circle of the cook surface. Because the cook surface is made of heavy steel, it takes
approximately 10 minutes from a cold start to completely heat the surface. With a pre-heated cook surface, if you
adjust one of the heater elements, you will have to wait momentarily before the heat zone adjusts to temperature.
Thank You For Cooking With Evo!
