Install Foam Strip
1. Remove foam strip from literature packing.
2. Remove backing from foam strip.
3. Apply foam strip adhesive-side down around bottom of
cooktop, flush with edge.
NOTE: The foam strip protects the underside of the cooktop
glass from debris and helps the cooktop sit flat on uneven
counters.
Install Cooktop
Style 1: Cooktop over undercounter built-in oven
IMPORTANT:
■
Your cooktop may not be approved for use over an
undercounter built-in oven. Contact your dealer to confirm
that your cooktop is approved for such use.
■
Clamping brackets should not be used.
1. Turn cooktop right side up.
2. Place cooktop in 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.
Style 2: Cooktop over cabinets
1. Determine whether your cabinet construction provides
clearance for installing clamping brackets at cooktop base
ends. This is the recommended location. Clamping brackets
can be installed on the back of cooktop base bottom, if
necessary.
2. The clamping brackets can be installed before or after the
cooktop is placed into the cutout. Complete the following
steps for the option you choose.
Installing Brackets Before Placing Cooktop in Cutout
1. Position bracket to allow the clamping bracket to extend far
enough out from the cooktop for the installation of
2½" (6.4 cm) clamping screws. See “Attach Cooktop to
Countertop” for illustration of clamping screw installation.
2. Rotate brackets so they do not extend beyond edge of
cooktop base.
3. Tighten screws enough to hold brackets in place when
cooktop is placed into the cutout.
4. Turn the cooktop right side up and place in 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.
5. Loosen the screws and rotate the brackets so that they are
perpendicular to the edge of the cooktop base and extend
beyond its edge. Securely tighten screws.
Installing Brackets After Placing Cooktop in Cutout
1. Place cooktop in 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. Position clamping bracket to allow the bracket to extend far
enough out from the cooktop for the installation of
2½" (6.4 cm) clamping screws.
3. Attach brackets to cooktop base bottom with bracket
attachment screws using the bracket mounting holes.
