NOTE:
If a solid side cabinet wall exists on one or both
sides, you will need to notch the front corner of
the cabinet to match the counter top notch and to
provide clearance for the cooktop front (see page 8).

CAUTION:

be used in moving the cooktop to avoid personal
injury or damage to the unit.

STEP ONE
ANCHORING THE COOKTOP

The cooktop has a shipping weight of approximately
228 pounds (36” models) and 324 pounds (48” models).
After removal of packing materials, it is recommended
that the grates and drip pan (below knobs) be
removed to facilitate handling. This will reduce
the weight by 30-50 pounds.

It may be necessary to remove the cooktop knobs
to pass through some doorways. With the knobs
removed a 29-3/8” wide opening is required. Remove
the outer carton and packing material from the shipping
base. The cooktop is held to the skid by 2 brackets.
After removing the brackets, the cooktop must be
lifted and removed from the skid.

The Performance Series cooktop should be moved as
close as possible to its final location. Electric and gas
connections Should be made per (steps 5 & 6, pgs 13
& 14) and the backguard installed per (step 4 pg. 12)
before the cooktop is placed in its final position. The grill
and griddle sections are fastened in place at the back
with screws. They are designed to be stationary and not
meant to be removed for cleaning.

DO NOT REMOVE SCREWS
FROM GRILL OR GRIDDLE.
