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.
1. Using 2 or more people, place the cooktop upside down
on a covered surface using the foam end posts from the
packaging. Make sure that the knobs are not resting on the
foam.
2. Remove foam strip roll from the package containing
literature. The roll contains four 1/4" (6.4 mm) strips of foam.
Remove one strip at a time. Apply the foam strip adhesive
around bottom of the four edges of the cooktop glass,
following the edges of the glass.
NOTE: The foam strip helps avoid damage to the underside of
the cooktop glass from debris and helps the cooktop sit flat on
uneven counters.
A. Cooktop base
B. 1/4" (6.4 mm) Foam strip
C. Cooktop
NOTE: For some models with trim on the front glass edge, apply
the foam strip side down around bottom of the cooktop glass
only on LEFT, RIGHT and BACK SIDE.
