NOTE:

Leave adhesive-backed foam layer over brushed-metal surfaces, to protect finish from scratches, until the cooktop is installed in its final position.

•Lift and place the cooktop in the opening. Be careful not to pinch the power cord or gas inlet. Care should be used not to scratch the griddle cooking plate.

•Make sure that the power cord is free and hanging loose.

Griddle Tilt Adjustment (not all models)

Check the griddle adjustment by pouring two tablespoons of water on the back of the griddle plate. The water should slowly roll into the grease tray. If not, adjust the two screws under the back of the plate. Start with one half turn counter- clockwise (CCW) of the screws. Further adjustment should be made by one-quarter turn until water slowly flows into the grease tray.
