INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Prepare Cooktop for Installation
1.
Decide on the final location for the cooktop.
2.
Using 2 or more people, place the cooktop upside down on
a covered surface. Clean along the outside surface of the
cooktop where the foam strip will be applied.
3.
Remove foam strip from package containing literature.
Remove backing from foam strip. Apply foam strip adhesive-
side down around bottom of cooktop, flush with edge.
NOTE:
The foam strip helps keep the underside of the
cooktop glass free from debris and helps the cooktop
sit flat on uneven counters.
Install Cooktop
Style 1: Cooktop over undercounter built-in oven
IMPORTANT:
Clamp brackets should not be used.
1.
Using 2 or more people, turn cooktop right side up.
2.
Place cooktop in 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.
Style 2: Cooktop over cabinets
1.
Determine whether your cabinet construction provides
clearance for installing clamp brackets at cooktop base
ends. This is the recommended location. Clamp brackets
can be installed on the front and back of cooktop base
bottom, if necessary.
2.
The clamp brackets can be installed before or after the
cooktop is placed into the cutout. Complete the following
steps for the option you choose.
Installing Brackets Before Placing Cooktop in Cutout
1.
Remove the attachment screws for the selected bracket
locations from the bottom of the cooktop base.
2.
Select bracket mounting holes that will allow the bracket
to extend far enough out from the cooktop for the installation
of 2

" (6.4 cm) clamping screws. See “Attach Cooktop
to Countertop” section for illustration of clamping
screw installation.
3.
Attach brackets to bottom of cooktop base with bracket
attachment screws using the bracket mounting holes
selected in Step 2.
4.
Rotate brackets so they do not extend beyond edge
of cooktop base.
5.
Tighten screws just enough to hold brackets in place when
cooktop is put in cutout.
6.
Turn the cooktop right side up, and place in 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.
7.
Loosen the screws, and rotate the brackets so that they are
perpendicular to the edge of the cooktop base and extend
beyond its edge. Securely tighten screws.
