INSTALLATION
Prepare Cooktop for Installation
WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install or uninstall
appliance.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
1. Decide on the final location for the cooktop.
2. Using 2 or more people, place the cooktop upside down on a
covered surface.
3. Remove foam strip from literature package. Remove backing
from foam strip. Apply foam strip adhesive-side down around
bottom of cooktop, flush with edge.
NOTE: The foam strip covers the underside of the cooktop
glass to avoid damage from debris and helps the cooktop 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.
2. Place cooktop in cutout.
Style 2: Cooktop over cabinets
1. Determine whether your cabinet construction provides
clearance for installing clamp brackets at cooktop base ends.
This is the recommended location. Clamp brackets can be
installed on the front and back of cooktop base bottom, if
necessary.
A. Attachment screw holes for optional front and back
location
B. Clamp bracket (end locations recommended)
C. Cooktop base bottom
D. Attachment screw
2. The clamp brackets can be installed before or after the
cooktop is placed into the cutout. Complete the following steps
for the option you choose.
Installing Brackets Before Placing Cooktop in
Cutout
1. Remove the attachment screws for the selected bracket
locations from the bottom of the cooktop base.
2. Select bracket mounting holes that will allow the bracket to
extend far enough out from the cooktop for the installation of

3. Attach brackets to bottom of cooktop base with bracket
attachment screws using the bracket mounting holes selected

4. Rotate brackets so they do not extend beyond edge of
cooktop base.
5. Tighten screws just enough to hold brackets in place when
cooktop is put in cutout.
6. Turn the cooktop right side up and place in 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.
7. Loosen the screws and rotate the brackets so that they are
perpendicular to the edge of the cooktop base and extend
beyond its edge. Securely tighten screws.

NOTE: Make sure that the front edge of the cooktop is parallel
to the front edge of the countertop. If repositioning is needed,
