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 left front underside of
the cooktop base.
Unpack the parts supplied with your cooktop. The parts shipped
with the cooktop depend on your model ordered. See "Tools and
Parts" section for a complete list parts supplied with your
cooktop.
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. Decide on the final location for the cooktop.
2. Using two or more people, place the cooktop upside down
on a covered surface.
3. Remove foam strip from literature packing. Remove backing
from foam strip. Apply foam strip adhesive-side down along
the left and right sides of the cooktop trim.
NOTE: The foam strip helps the cooktop sit flat on uneven
counters and avoids damage to the countertop surface.
