Stephen,
http://www.interconmktg.com/pages_stoves/4000.htm
  The 4000 is the model I installed. Apparently it has been discontinued in
favor of the slightly longer 4100.
  I installed mine in place of a gimballed pressurized model (Kenyon ??). I
had to make the cut out slightly smaller to accept the 4000. The 4100 would
have fit better.

is a picture of my installation where I used teak strips on top of the
original counter to make the cut out smaller. Also note that I purchased and
regularly used the pot holders to secure the sliding action. Also note that
under way, we really used the Sea Swing totally gimballed sterno stove.
(pictured in the next picture forward.)
  We (my wife and I) were very happy with the Origo cook top.
Regards,
Brian
