INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

PREPARING COOKTOP FOR INSTALLATION
WARNING: Excessive Weight Hazard
• Use two or more people to move and install cooktop.
• Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
Decide on the final location for the cooktop. Avoid drilling into or severing existing wiring during installation.
1. Using 2 or more people, place the cooktop upside down on a
covered surface using the foam end posts from the packaging.
Make sure that the knobs are not resting on the foam.
2. Remove foam strip roll from the package containing literature.
Remove one strip at a time and apply foam strip adhesiveside
down around bottom of the cooktop glass. (Refer to Figure 4.)
NOTE: The foam strip helps avoid damage to the underside of the
cooktop glass from debris and helps the cooktop sit flat on uneven
counters.
INSTALLING COOKTOP
Type 1: Cooktop Over Undercounter Built-In Oven
Using 2 or more people, place cooktop right side up into the cutout.
IMPORTANT: Clamping brackets SHOULD NOT be used.
NOTE: Make sure that the front edge of the cooktop is parallel to the front edge of the countertop. If
repositioning is needed, lift entire cooktop up from cutout to avoid scratching the countertop.
Type 2: Cooktop Over Cabinets
1. Determine whether your
cabinet construction provides
clearance for installing
clamping brackets at cooktop
base ends. (Refer to figure 3 on
page 9.)
2. The clamping brackets SHOULD
be installed after the cooktop
is placed into the cutout.
(Refer to Figure 5.)
Installing Brackets After Placing Cooktop in Cutout
1. Using 2 or more people, place the cooktop right side up into the cutout.
NOTE: Make sure that the front edge of the cooktop is parallel to the front edge of the countertop. If
repositioning is needed, lift entire cooktop up from cutout to avoid scratching the countertop.
2. Remove the selected brackets from the bottom of the cooktop base.
3. Select bracket mounting locations that will allow the bracket to extend far enough out from the cooktop
for the installation of clamping screws. (Refer to Figure 6.)
