INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Prepare Cooktop for Installation
WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install cooktop. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
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.

Installing Brackets Before Placing Cooktop in Cutout
