INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
PREPARING COOKTOP FOR INSTALLATION
WARNING : Excessive Weight Hazard
• Use two or more people to move and install cooktop.
• Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
Decide on the final location for the cooktop. Avoid drilling into or severing existing wiring during installation.
INSTALLING COOKTOP
Type 1: Cooktop Over Undercounter Built-In Oven
Using 2 or more people, place cooktop right side up into the cutout.
IMPORTANT : Clamping brackets SHOULD NOT be used.
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.
Type 2: Cooktop Over Cabinets
Cooktop Base
Cooktop
Foam Strip
1/16” x 3/16”
(0.2 x 0.5 cm)
1. Using 2 or more people, place the cooktop upside down on a
covered surface using the foam end posts from the packaging.
Make sure that the knobs are not resting on the foam.
2. Remove foam strip roll from the package containing literature.
Remove one strip at a time and apply foam strip adhesiveside
down around bottom of the cooktop glass. (Refer to Figure 4.)
NOTE : The foam strip helps avoid damage to the underside of the
cooktop glass from debris and helps the cooktop sit flat on uneven
counters.
