Reinstalling Glass Cooktop
1. Verify that the burner box chassis is sitting level in a
stable position, diagonally across the countertop
cutout.
2. Transfer the serviced or new glass and metal
subplate back to the burner box chassis and insert
guide tabs (B) into the slots (C) on the chassis front
flange. Temporarily insert the prop rod.
3. Reinsert all 7 control shafts through the grommets.
Install only the top center screw using the special
#8-18 x 1/4-in. screw.
4. Have a 1/4-in. nut driver and 2 special #8-18 x 1/4-in.
screws ready, then remove the prop rod and raise
the glass up to a fully vertical position. Insert the 2
special screws at the bottom of the control panel.
5. Return the cooktop to the tilted position supported
by the prop rod.
6. Push the 2 red and 2 white heater and HOT light
connectors back through the slot in the chassis and
into the center wiring compartment.
7. Reconnect the 2 red and 2 white heater and HOT
light connectors.
8. Verify that all heater wires are clear of the center
chassis flange and are not touching any of the metal
heater cans prior to lowering cooktop onto chassis.
9. Lift the glass subplate assembly out of the guide slots
and gently lower it straight down over the chassis.
Caution: When installing the glass and metal subplate
assembly, if any of the 12 side screw holes do not line
up, do not force the top down. Look for wires trapped
between the cooktop box flanges and the glass subplate.
Push the wires out of the way–trapped wires can
cause glass breakage.
10. Raise the front of the glass slightly and use pliers to
straighten 2 tabs (B).
11. Replace 12 side screws (A) to secure the glass and
metal subplate to the chassis.
12. Carefully lift each end of the cooktop to remove the
protective wood or cardboard.
Caution: Glass is fragile; do not allow glass to drop
more than about 1/2-in. onto the countertop.
13. Lower chassis back into the countertop opening.
Caution: Do not attempt to force the glass to meet the
cooktop.
14. Inspect the cooktop glass for rocking or uneven
gaps. If the glass cooktop does not sit evenly on the
countertop, skip to the next section, Rocking or
Uneven Glass in Countertop, before proceeding.
