INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Install Cooktop

Decide on the final location for the cooktop. Avoid drilling into or 
severing existing wiring during installation.

1.

Determine whether your cabinet construction provides 
clearance for installing clamping brackets at cooktop base 
ends. This is the recommended location. Clamping brackets 
can be installed on the front and back of cooktop base 
bottom, if necessary. 

2.

Using 2 or more people, place cooktop right side up 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 entire cooktop up from cutout to avoid scratching 
the countertop.

3.

Remove the attachment screws for the selected bracket 
locations from the bottom of the cooktop base. 

4.

Attach brackets to cooktop base bottom with bracket 
attachment screws. Securely tighten screws.

Make Gas Connection

Typical flexible connection

1.

Apply pipe-joint compound made for use with Natural and LP 
gas to the smaller thread ends of the flexible connector 
adapters (see C and G in the following illustration). 

2.

Attach one adapter to the gas pressure regulator and the 
other adapter to the gas shutoff valve. Tighten both adapters.
