INSTALL COOKTOP
EXCESSIVE WEIGHT HAZARD
• Use two or more people to move and install cooktop. Failure to do so
can result in back or other injury.
LACERATION, FOREIGN OBJECT, CRUSH HAZARD
• When installing, moving, or servicing any appliance, wear proper
protective equipment, including cut resistant gloves, steel-toed shoes,
and safety glasses.
IMPORTANT:
• Do not use sealant between the cooktop and the countertop. Using
sealant under the cooktop could result in damage to the cooktop and the
countertop if the cooktop ever needs to be removed for servicing.
• If the cooktop is being installed into a blind counter (one with no cabinet
opening below), electrical wire connections must be made before putting
the cooktop into the cutout opening.
• The foam strip around bottom of the four edges of the cooktop glass
helps avoid damage to the underside of the cooktop glass from debris
and helps the cooktop sit flat on slightly uneven counters.
1. Using 2 or more people, feed the cooktop power cord down through the
counter cutout and place the cooktop centered into the cutout. Make
sure that the front edge of the cooktop is parallel to the front edge of the
countertop.
2. Using both hands, press down evenly on the sides of the cooktop. Make
sure that the foam strip below the edges of the cooktop glass sit flush
with the countertop on all sides.
