Your Texan Grill with Knob Control is
supplied with a factory installed polished
stainless steel flange that accepts nine oval head
wood screws for mounting. The trim flange of the
grill is designed to hold the unit firmly in place in
the countertop. If desired, you may seal the edge
of the countertop beneath the trim flange. We
recommend a
NON-ADHESIVE
such as
Plumbers Putty. This will help reduce the chance
of damage to the trim flange should the unit
need to be removed from the countertop. Should
you need to remove the unit from the countertop
after installation simply take a piece of fishing
line and run back and forth under the trim flange
to break the caulk bond.
