ELECTRIC COOKTOP INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Cooktop Installation

1. All Ceramic‑Glass Cooktops
Visually inspect the cooktop for damage. Also make sure
all cooktop screws are tight (see Figure 8).
Figure 8
Set the cooktop into the countertop cutout.
NOTE: Do not use caulking compound; cooktop should
be removable for service when needed.
WARNING
Do not remove the built in springs on
the edges of the cooktop. These springs center the
cooktop in the space provided. The cooktop must
be centered to prevent excess heat buildup that
may result in heat damage or fire (see Figure 9).
