Joining
Multiple

(Continued)
Attach chassis support brace to different
height cooktops
• When attaching grill to radiant or gas, place
the support brace as shown.
• Remove one screw from the center of each
cooktop chassis.
• Position brace and tighten screws.
• Repeat these steps for three cooktops.
Joining Cooktop to Downdraft Vent
• Remove all grates, knobs, burner caps and drip
pans.
• Lay cooktop upside down.
• Remove endcap on side of cooktop to be joined
by removing three nuts with a 5/16" nutdriver.
Important: Pre-tap holes in downdraft joiner and
endcaps by driving supplied screws through
holes and then backing out before installation.
This will make the joining process easier.
• Replace endcap with downdraft joiner strip
using the same three nuts.
– If the vent is to be installed at the end of
the countertop opening, attach downdraft
endcap to that side.
• Place the downdraft vent and cooktop into the
cutout.
• Remove two screws from the front of cooktop
chassis. Drive the two screws into holes below
the downdraft vent flange as shown. Use a
phillips screwdriver bit socket.
• If downdraft vent is installed at the end of the
cutout, secure the downdraft endcap to the
countertop by driving two phillips head screws
as shown.
• To finalize installation, proceed to "Securing
cooktop(s) to countertop.
• If additional cooktop(s) are to be installed,
proceed to "Joining additional cooktop to
downdraft vent or downdraft grill."
