INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Prepare Cooktop for Installation
Decide on the final location for the cooktop. Avoid drilling into or
severing existing wiring during installation.
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 keeps debris away from the underside
of the cooktop and helps the cooktop to sit flat on uneven
counters.
Install Cooktop
Style 1: Cooktop over undercounter built-in oven
IMPORTANT: Clamping brackets should not be used.
1. 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.
Style 2: Cooktop over cabinets
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.
The clamping 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. Using 2 or more people, place the cooktop upside down on a
covered surface.
2.
Remove the attachment screws for the selected bracket
locations from the bottom of the cooktop base.
3.
Select bracket mounting holes that will allow the bracket to
extend far enough out from the cooktop for the installation of
2½" (6.4 cm) clamping screws. See “Attach Cooktop to
Countertop” for illustration of clamping screw installation.
4. Attach brackets to cooktop base bottom with bracket
attachment screws using the bracket mounting holes
selected in Step 2.
5. Rotate brackets so they do not extend beyond edge of
cooktop base.
