Installation Instruction
✻
Max. distance of 7
″
when installing over GSM2100 dishwasher
Suggested mounting of an approved junction box.
Before installing the counter unit or moving it
to another location have the electrician verify:
■
That your home is provided with adequate
electrical service.
■
That the addition of the counter unit will not
overload the household circuit on which it is
used.
DANGER:
Always disconnect the
electrical service to the unit before repairing or
servicing the counter unit. This can be done by
disconnecting the fuse or circuit breaker. Failure
to do this could result in a dangerous or even
fatal shock. Know where your main disconnect
switch is located. If you don’t know, have your
electrician show you.
Install an approved junction box where it will be
easily accessible through the front of the cabinet
where the counter unit will be located.
IMPORTANT:
The junction box must be located
where it will allow slack in the conduit for
serviceability. If installing over a GSM2100
dishwasher, the center of the junction box must
be installed 5” to 7” below the cooktop lip,
so it does not interfere with the dishwasher
installation or operation.
Install the counter unit in the cutout opening.
NOTE:
If the unit is being installed in a blind counter
(one with no cabinet opening below) or over a
GSM2100 dishwasher, wire connections must be
made before putting the unit into the cutout.
Secure the cooktop unit to the counter using the
side retainers and screws shipped with the unit.
■
For thicker counters (greater than 1
″
thick),
hold down straps should be used to install
the cooktop. They are included with some
models, or can be ordered, GE model
number WB2K5328.
■
To attach the cooktop to the counter, insert
the hold-down strap into the slots on each side
of the unit (see diagram).
■
Use suitable screws to attach the cooktop to
the counter as shown. The cooktop must rest
on the metal flange around the burner box.
Be sure this cut does not interfere with the cabinet structure at the front
