Foam tape
Protective film
BEFORE INSTALLING THE COOKTOP IN THE
CUT-OUT OPENING DO THIS:
A roll of foam tape is supplied loose and packed in the
literature package. Install the foam tape around the
perimeter of the flange of the burner box, at a distance
of 1/4” from the edge of the glass. Apply the exposed
adhesive side of the tape against the underside of the
glass surface (see figure below). Remove the protective
film from the underside of the foam tape before
inserting the cooktop into the countertop opening.
Note: This tape seals the underside of the cooktop to
the counter. Do not remove this foam tape. This
tape prevents entry of air for normal gas combustion and
prevents liquids from leaking under the cooktop.
After inserting the cooktop into the countertop opening,
make sure the unit is sitting on the metal flange around
the top of the burner box. Cooktop must not sit on the
glass top. Avoid cutting an oversized hole in the
countertop to prevent glass top from sitting directly on
the countertop.

check system for leaks with a manometer. If a manometer is not available, turn the gas supply on to
the cooktop and use a liquid leak detector at all
joints and connections to check for leaks.
Tighten all connections if necessary to prevent gas
leakage in the cooktop or supply line.
Check alignment of valves after connecting the
cooktop to the gas supply to be sure the manifold
pipe has not been moved.
Disconnect this cooktop and its individual
shutoff valve from the gas supply piping system
during any pressure testing of that system at test
pressures greater than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa or 14"
W.C.).
Isolate the cooktop from the gas supply piping
system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve
during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping
system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig
(3.5 kPa or 14" W.C.).
