on uneven counters.

burner box.

3. Install the cooktop into the countertop cutout by tilting one
end of the cooktop into the cutout, then lowering the other
end into the cutout.
4. Assemble hold-down screws to hold-down bracket. See the
following illustration.

between the screw and the countertop, moderately tighten
the screws to secure cooktop.
