Your Big American Grill™ is supplied with a
factory installed polished stainless steel flange
that accepts eleven oval head wood screws for
mounting. The trim flange of the grill is designed
to hold the unit firmly in place in the countertop.
If desired, you may seal the edge of the
countertop beneath the trim flange. We
recommend a
NON-ADHESIVE
such as
plumbers putty. This will help reduce the chance
of damage to the trim flange should the unit
need to be removed from the countertop. Should
you need to remove the unit from the countertop
after installation simply take a piece of fishing
line and run back and forth under the trim flange
to break the caulk bond.
