Note:
When making cut-out of countertop,
radius
the corner of the cutout (1/4” radius is typical),
to help prevent cracking of the countertop. Follow the countertop manufacturer’s instructions regarding the
minimum corner radius and reinforcement.

STEP #4
Installing the Cooktop
The cooktop is supplied with two metal mounting
brackets. These brackets are designed to hold the cooktop
firmly in place. The cooktop does not have a metal frame
and should be sealed to the countertop.
Use a soft
bedding compound that will prevent damage if later
removal for service is necessary. We recommend a
nonadhesive type of sealant, such as plumber’s putty,
maximum compressed thickness of 1/16”
.
Silicone may
be used to seal the glass edge only, if desired.
Attach the two mounting brackets
as shown (
see Fig D
) to the inside
vertical surface of the cutout. The
brackets are to be mounted on opposing
sides. Center the bracket in the open-
ing,
flush with the countertop
and
secure with #6 self-tapping screws that
are provided. Position the cooktop in the
cutout opening and press firmly on all
sides to seal the glass into the bedding
compound. Secure the cooktop to the
brackets from underneath with the small
sheet metal screws that are supplied.
BE CAREFUL NOT TO
OVERTIGHTEN THE SCREWS.
