a) Remove all elements and reflector
bowls.
b) Place your hands under left and right
rear element cutouts and lift the maintop
until the Posi-Lock bearings engage in
their bracket holes to hold the maintop
off the countertop. You will hear a “click”
when the Posi-Lock engages.

tion the support rod so that it rests
against the front edge of the burner box.
d) Check to make sure that there is enough
slack in the electrical wiring conduit to
properly lift and raise the maintop.
NOTE: If you are installing the cooktop
over a built-under oven, check to make
sure that the maintop can be raised af-
ter oven installation is complete.

1. Remove the shipping materials and tape
from the cooktop. Remove the hardware
package from inside the literature bag.
2. Insert the cooktop into the countertop and
center it in the cutout. Position the front of
the cooktop so that it is parallel to the front
edge of the countertop. Make sure that all
of the required clearances are met. NOTE:
If cooktop is not properly positioned, lift the
cooktop off the countertop to make the
necessary adjustments.
3. Insert one clamp tab through each slot lo-
cated on sides of the burner box.
4. Secure the cooktop to the countertop by
hand-tightening each screw, then use a
screwdriver to tighten each screw by 1 to
1-1/2 more turns. Do not overtighten.
