Installation

Before making the countertop cutout, check
for clearance. Check to see if the cooktop
will clear the front and side walls of the base
cabinet. It is also important to provide enough
ventilation.
Adequate ventilation of the space below the
countertop must be provided to ensure proper
operation of the cooktop. Heat transferred
from the cooktop bottom pan during operation
will overheat an improperly ventilated area.
Allow a 2” minimum clearance between the
bottom of the metal pan of the cooktop and
any combustible surface located below, ie:
the upper edge of a drawer installed below
the cooktop (see figure below). Failure to
provide proper clearances and ventilation may
result in a re hazard.
Countertop Preparation

Use a soft bedding compound that will
prevent damage if later removal for
service is necessary. We recommend
a nonadhesive type of sealant, such as
plumber’s putty, maximum compressed
thickness of 1/16”. Attach the two
mounting brackets as shown (see figure
below) to the inside vertical surface of the
cutout. The brackets are to be mounted on
opposing sides. If your counter material is
granite you will need to glue two wood strips
underneath the counter to accept the
mounting brackets. Center the bracket in the
opening, ush with the countertop and
secure with #6 self-tapping screws that are
provided. Position the cooktop in the cutout
opening and press rmly on all sides to seal
the glass into the bedding compound.
Secure the cooktop to the brackets from
underneath with the small sheet metal
screws that are supplied.
BE CAREFUL NOT TO
OVERTIGHTEN THE SCREWS.

The cooktop is supplied with two metal
mounting brackets. These brackets are
designed to hold the cooktop rmly in place.
The cooktop does not have a metal frame and
should be sealed to the countertop.

NOTE
When making cut-out of countertop,
radius the corner of the cutout (1/4” radius
is typical), to help prevent cracking of the
countertop. Follow the countertop
manufacturer’s instructions regarding the
minimum corner radius and reinforcement.
