Installation Procedure
WARNING:
To avoid electrical shock hazard, before
installing the cooktop, switch power off at the
service panel to prevent the power from being
switched on accidentally.
Prepare the Countertop
Cut out the countertop per the dimensions shown in
“Cabinet Requirements” on page 3
.
Some solid surface materials, such as Surell™ and
Corian®, require different cutting methods. Consult with the
solid surface manufacturer for the correct cutting method
needed. Apply heat reflective tape such as Scotch
Aluminum Foil Tape #425 or #427 (not included) around
the cutout so that it folds over on the top and sides. Do not
wrap the tape underneath the cooktop. Be sure the tape
extends beyond the outermost flange of the cooktop. All
corners should be covered with tape.
Seal the Cooktop with Foam Tape
Apply the self adhesive foam tape in one continuous
rectangle directly to the counter around the perimeter of the
cutout as shown by the dotted line in
Figure 4: “Counter
Cutout – Foam Tape Placement”
. Leave 1/4” (6.35mm) gap
between the foam tape and the edge of the cutout.
Install the Cooktop
Insert cooktop into the cutout. Attach clamps of the hold-
down brackets packaged with the cooktop to the rough-in
box. Use the washer and screws provided.
Adjust hold-down brackets to desired position and tighten
screws to rough-in box. Insert adjusting screw into clamp
and secure cooktop to countertop.
NOTE:
For solid surface material installations: Insert a wooden
block between the end of the screw and the bottom of the
countertop. Do not overtighten adjusting screw. Trim
excess aluminum tape around cooktop flange.
Connect Gas Supply
The gas inlet to the unit is located at the right rear of rough-
in box.
Install the pressure regulator (supplied with unit) to
manifold pipe using pipe-joint compound (resistant to LP
and Natural gas) on threads of manifold pipe. Turn to hand
tighten plus 1/4 turn, not exceeding 1 turn for alignment. To
prevent possible damage to the gas pressure regulator,
install it after the rough-in box is in its permanent position.
