NOTE: Do not use caulking compound; cooktop should be removable for service when needed.

WARNING Do not remove the nylon spacers on the edges of the cooktop. These spacers center the cooktop in the space provided. The cooktop must be centered to prevent excess heat buildup that may result in heat damage or fire (see Figure 9).
