WARNING
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALL HEAT SHIELD
1. Decide on the final location for the 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.
2. Using two or more people, place the
cooktop upside down on a covered work
surface.
3. Remove the heat shield from the cooktop.
Set the two screws aside for reattaching
the heat shield.
4. Using two screws, reattach the heat shield
to the underside of the cooktop at the
predrilled holes as shown in the following
illustration.
INSTALL COOKTOP
Style 1: Cooktop over undercounter
built-in oven
IMPORTANT:
•
Your cooktop may not be approved for use
over an undercounter built-in oven. Contact
your dealer to confirm that your cooktop is
approved.
•
Clamping brackets should not be used.
1. Turn cooktop right side up.
2. Place cooktop in cutout.
NOTE: Make sure that the front edge of
the cooktop is parallel to the front edge of
the countertop. If repositioning is needed,
lift entire cooktop up from cutout to avoid
scratching the countertop.

Style 2: Cooktop over cabinets
1. Determine whether your cabinet construction provides clearance for installing clamp
ing brackets at cooktop base ends. This
is the recommended location. Clamping
brackets can be installed on the back of
cooktop base bottom, if necessary.
2. The clamping brackets can be installed
before or after the cooktop is placed into
the cutout. Complete the following steps
for the option you choose.
Installing Brackets Before Placing
Cooktop in Cutout
1. Position bracket to allow the clamping bracket
to extend far enough out from the cooktop for
the installation of 2-1/2˝ (6.4 cm) clamping
screws. See “Attach Cooktop to Countertop”
for illustration of clamping screw installa
tion.
2. Rotate brackets so they do not extend
beyond edge of cooktop base.
3. Tighten screws enough to hold brackets
in place when cooktop is placed into the
cutout.
4. Turn the cooktop right side up and place
in cutout.
NOTE: Make sure that the front edge of
the cooktop is parallel to the front edge of
the countertop. If repositioning is needed,
lift entire cooktop up from cutout to avoid
scratching the countertop.
5. Loosen the screws and rotate the brackets
so that they are perpendicular to the edge
of the cooktop base and extend beyond its
edge. Securely tighten screws.
Installing Brackets After Placing
Cooktop in Cutout
1. Place cooktop in cutout.
NOTE: Make sure that the front edge of
the cooktop is parallel to the front edge of
the countertop. If repositioning is needed,
lift entire cooktop up from cutout to avoid
scratching the countertop.
2. Position clamping bracket to allow the
bracket to extend far enough out from the
cooktop for the installation of 2-1/2
-
clamping screws
˝ (6.4 cm)
3. Attach brackets to cooktop base bottom
with bracket attachment screws using the
bracket mounting holes. Securely tighten
screws.
