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.
1. Decide on the final location for the cooktop.
2. Using 2 or more people, place the cooktop upside down on
a covered surface. Clean along the outside surface of the
cooktop where the foam strip will be applied.
3. Remove foam strip from 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 helps keep the underside of the
cooktop glass free from debris and helps the cooktop
sit flat on uneven counters.

1. Using 2 or more people, turn cooktop right side up.
2. Place cooktop 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.
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.

perpendicular to the edge of the cooktop base and extend
