A:AnswerPam, here is a helpful link to the user manual (https://bit.ly/2K7W8dR) on page 12 to support your concerns on what is included with the cooktop. We thank you for being a part of Samsung! ^Lena
A:AnswerIts not really that thick. I see maybe a skinny one at normal hieght, or one thats a bit lower working, but typical size/level might not. Sorry not a good answer. I say check measurements, I downloaded the manuel it gave all the deminsions.
A:AnswerI had the same question, sad that Samsung answered this incorrectly. The manual even has a procedure to remove the module. This is from the manual:
Smart Connect module can/must be detached before installation of the cooktop in
folowing cases:
• The consumer doesn’t need to Smart connect function.
• Installation is not possible because the Smart Connect module protrudes against
the rear wall of the countertop.
• The downdraft hood is installed and protrudes against the Smart Connect
module.
The Cover must be installed in place of Smart connect module if Smart connect
module has been removed. Please read following instructions on how to detach
Smart connect module.
