Step 7 – Installing the Foam Gasket
Caution: Do not install the cooktop into the
countertop without installing the foam gasket, as
shown below. The foam gasket protects the bot-
tom edge of the glass from the countertop and
seals the cooktop to protect it from spills.
Start with the cooktop on the cardboard base with
all four sides easily accessible.
Locate the foam gasket tape included with
the cooktop.
Peel off the white backing to install the foam
gasket tape on the bottom side of the cooktop
glass, as shown below.
Foam Gasket Installation Notes:
• The foam gasket tape should be installed
within 1/8 in. of the edge of the glass. Do not
stretch or twist the foam gasket tape.
• Use care not to stretch the foam gasket tape
while it is installed or it will not stay in place.
• Do not place foam gasket tape over the four
metal mounting brackets.
• Butt the foam gasket tape ends together at each
corner without overlapping.
• Trim the foam gasket tape to length without
stretching.
• Mitre cut outside corners of foam gasket tape
slightly if necessary for appearance.
• Do not scratch the glass while cutting the foam
gasket tape.
