Install Cooktop; Electrical Connection - Siemens ET4955UC Installation Instructions Manual

Installation Instructions
Countertop Cutout Dimension (E)
The cutout dimensions depend upon whether the
installation is for replacement, new construction, or
installation in a solid surface countertop material, such
as Surel™, Corian etc. These materials require larger
®
cutouts, use of heat reflective tape and rounded
corners. Drawings G and H provide some guidelines
only (see Page 4 and 5). Always consult the countertop
manufacturer for specific installation instructions.
WARNING:
!
TO AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD,
BEFORE INSTALLING THE COOKTOP,
SWITCH POWER OFF AT THE SERVICE
PANEL AND LOCK THE PANEL TO PREVENT
THE POWER FROM BEING SWITCHED ON
ACCIDENTALLY.

Install Cooktop

Seal Edges with Foam Tape (F)
A foam tape is provided to seal the cooktop edges to the
countertop (see page 4). Turn cooktop upside down
and apply tape approximately 1/16" from the glass
edges. Use tape around the entire glass perimeter cut
off excess where tape ends butt.
Secure Cooktop to Countertop (G)
The cooktop should be secured to the countertop using
the hold-down brackets provided. Prior to inserting
cooktop into cutout, turn cooktop upside down and
attach brackets to the burner box using the washers
and screws.
Place cooktop into cutout. Insert clamping screws into
the brackets and secure cooktop to countertop.
Use a wood block to protect fragile countertop
materials.
Solid Surface Countertops (H)
Always consult the countertop manufacturer for
specific instructions.
Countertops made from natural (i.e. granite and
marble) or SOLID SURFACE MATERIALS, such as Surell™
and Corian , require special cutout preparation and
®
installation procedures. Follow the guidelines below
and on pages 2-4 for preparing the cutout.
Install the cooktop as follows:
1. Round the cutout corners according to instructions
from the countertop manufacturer.
2. Apply heat reflective tape (such as Scotch
Aluminum Foil Tape #425 or #427) around the
cutout so that it folds over the top and side
surfaces. Be sure the tape extends beyond the
outermost flange of the cooktop. All corners should
also be covered with tape.
3. Attach brackets to the burner box using washers
and screws provided. Use a wooden block
underneath the countertop before tightening the
bracket screws.
4. Center cooktop in the cutout to ensure adequate
clearance between the burner box and countertop
edge. (A light pencil mark along the center of front
edge and side edge of cooktop and counter will aid
in the positioning of the cooktop in the center.)
5. Trim excess aluminum tape from along the frame
edges. BE CAREFUL not to scratch the countertop.
