installing the foam gasket as shown. It protects the bottom
edge of the glass from the countertop and seals the cooktop
against spills.
Remove the cooktop along with its shipping pad from
the shipping box. Remove the shipping block from the
downdraft vent opening and place it under the shipping pad
to provide level support.
Center vent shipping block –
place under the shipping pad to
provide level support

EDGE OF GLASS DURING INSTALLATION.
Locate the reflective tape and foam gasket tape included
with your cooktop.
Peel off the white backing to install the foam gasket tape on
the bottom side of the cooktop glass as shown.

Installation Instructions
Foam Gasket Installation Notes:
• The foam gasket tape should be installed within
the edge of the glass. Do not stretch or twist the foam
gasket tape.
CAUTION:
Failure to install foam gasket tape
greatly increases the potential of breaking the cooktop
glass when installing, especially in Corian
countertops.
• Use care not to stretch the foam gasket tape while it is
installed or it will not stay in place.
• Do not place foam gasket tape over the metal flanges.
• Butt the foam gasket tape ends together at each corner
without overlapping.
• Trim the foam gasket tape to length without stretching.
• Mitre cut outside corners of foam gasket tape slightly if
necessary for appearance.
