[] Island Installation:
To provide an optimum installation, the
top surface of the countertop must be
level and flat (lie on the same plane)
around the 3 sides that are adjacent to
range cooktop. Proper adjustments to
make the top flat should be made or
gaps between the countertop and
range cooktop may occur. Forcing the
cooktop to fit may cause excessive
gaps and could break the glass and
void the warranty.
