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.
Style 1: Cooktop over undercounter built-
in oven
IMPORTANT: Clamping brackets should not
be used.
1. Using 2 or more people, place cooktop
right side up into the 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 construc-
tion provides clearance for installing clamp-
ing brackets at cooktop base ends. This
is the recommended location. Clamping
brackets can be installed on the front and
back of cooktop base bottom, if neces-
sary.
