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 1¼,, ( 0.64 cm) strips of foam. Remove
one strip at a time and apply foam strip adhesive-side down
around bottom of the cooktop 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.
