INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Prepare Cooktop for Installation
Write down the model and serial numbers before installing the
cooktop. Both numbers are located on the center underside of
the burner box.
Unpack the parts supplied with your cooktop. Do not unpack
or remove the grate and burner base(s) from the carton until
after the cooktop is installed to reduce the risk of scratching
the cooktop.
The parts shipped with the cooktop depend on the model
ordered. See the “Tools and Parts” section for a complete
list of parts supplied with the cooktop.
Decide on the final location for the cooktop. Locate existing
wiring to avoid drilling into or severing wiring during installation.
The pressure regulator and flexible stainless steel gas supply line
can be assembled to the cooktop before or after the cooktop is
installed. See the “Make Gas Connection” section.
1.
Remove the foam strip from the hardware package. Remove
the backing from the foam strip.
For countertop installations:
Apply the foam strip with the
adhesive side to the countertop within 1/16" (1.6 mm) of the
edge of the cutout, front, back, and sides.
For flush installations: Apply the foam strip with the
adhesive side to the bottom of the cutout recessed area.
Save the excess foam strip for use with the mounting
bridge kit.
NOTE: The foam strip helps keep the underside of the
cooktop frame free from debris and helps the cooktop
sit flat on uneven countertops. Do not silicone seal in place.
Install Cooktop
Install the pressure regulator to the cooktop before installing the
cooktop. See the “Make Gas Connections” section.
Multi-unit installation
For multi-unit installations, a mounting bridge kit is required.
See the “Tools and Parts” section.

IMPORTANT: Clamping brackets should not be used.
1.
Install the cooktop into the countertop cutout by tilting one
end of the cooktop into the cutout, then lowering the other
end into the 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 the entire cooktop up to avoid scratching the countertop.

1. Remove the two hold-down screws located in each side of
the cooktop burner box.
2. Attach the two hold-down brackets to the burner box.
3.
Install the cooktop into the countertop cutout by tilting one
end of the cooktop into the cutout, then lowering the other
end into the cutout.
4.
Start the hold-down screws into the hold-down brackets.
5.
Center the cooktop in the opening and, using a wood block
between the screw and the countertop, moderately tighten
the screws to secure cooktop.
IMPORTANT:
Do not tighten screws directly against the
countertop.
