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.
