Countertop cutout size larger than new cooktop requirement
I have an existing 36" Thermador gas cooktop that needs to be replaced. I have found a new 36" Frigidaire cooktop Model FPGC3685KS that I wanted to buy.
The spec sheet on the new Frigidaire cooktop states that the maximum cutout dimension should be 34-1/4" by 19-3/4" . I lifted my Thermador cooktop slightly and measured my granite counter top cutout hole underneath and it measures 35-3/8" by 20-1/2" in size, which is larger than Frigidaire's spec.
Although the overall Frigidaire cooktop physical dimension is 36" by 21-3/4", which is larger than the cutout hole, should I still be concerned?

My existing cooktop isn't fasterned--it just sits right over the cutout hole. I'm thinking of doing the same with the new one. If it doesn't move, wouldn't it be ok?
