INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Install Cooktop
Decide on the final location for the cooktop. Avoid drilling into or
severing existing wiring during installation.
Gas On Glass Cooktop models only:
1. Using 2 or more people, place the cooktop upside down on a
covered surface.
2. Remove foam strip from the 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 avoid damage to the underside
of the cooktop glass from debris and helps the cooktop sit
flat on uneven counters.
3. 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.

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.
