Glass and Cooktop Removal from
Countertop
Note: The ceramic glass and touch board shall be
supplied as a complete assembly.
1. Remove all cooktop hold-down retainers from
below the edge of the countertop.
2. Protect the counter with two strips of wood or
cardboard as shown below.
3. Reach up from inside the cabinet and push
upward on the bottom of the burner box enough
to shim with protective wood or cardboard
under one end. Repeat for the other end.
Caution: Screws on the bottom of the burner box
can scratch the countertop surface. Use care to
protect the countertop appearance.
4. Using the shims to get a handhold under the left
and right sides of the glass, carefully raise the
cooktop up about 4 in., rotate slightly left or
right (to the best working advantage), and set
down as shown. Lift each end slightly and
adjust the wood or cardboard to prevent
scratching the countertop.
5. Remove all screws from along the top edge on
all 4 sides of the burner box and slowly lift the
front of the glass off the burner box.
