ELECTRIC COOKTOP INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Cooktop Installation
1. All Ceramic-Glass Cooktops
Visually inspect the cooktop for damage. Also make
sure all cooktop screws are tight (see Figure 8).
Set the cooktop into the countertop cutout.
NOTE: Do not use caulking compound; cooktop
should be removable for service when needed.
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).
