Prepare Cooktop for Installation

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.
Write down the model and serial numbers before installing the
cooktop. Both numbers are located on the center underside of
the burner box.
Unpack the parts supplied with your cooktop. The parts shipped
with the cooktop depend on the model ordered. See "Tools and
Parts" section for a complete list of parts supplied with the
cooktop.
Decide on the final location for the cooktop. Locate existing
wiring to avoid drilling into or severing wiring during installation.
The pressure regulator and flexible stainless steel gas supply line
connector can be assembled to the cooktop now or after the
cooktop is installed in the cutout. See "Make Gas Connection"
section.
1. Using two or more people, place the cooktop upside down
