Install Cooktop
Style 1: Cooktop over undercounter built-in oven
IMPORTANT: Clamp 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 prevent scratching the
countertop.
Style 2: Cooktop over cabinets
1. Determine whether your cabinet construction provides
clearance for installing clamp brackets at burner box ends.
This is the recommended location. Clamp brackets can be
installed on the front and back of burner box bottom, if
necessary.
2. The clamp 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. Remove the attachment screws for the selected bracket
locations from the bottom of the burner box.
2. Select bracket mounting holes that will allow the bracket to
extend far enough out from the cooktop for the installation of
2½" (6.4 cm) clamping screws. See “Attach Cooktop to
Countertop” for illustration of clamping screw installation.
3. Attach brackets to burner box bottom with bracket
attachment screws using the bracket mounting holes selected
in Step 2.
4. Rotate brackets so they do not extend beyond edge of burner
box.
5. Tighten screws just enough to hold brackets in place when
cooktop is put in cutout.
6. 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 prevent scratching the
countertop.
7. Loosen the screws and rotate the brackets so that they are
perpendicular to the edge of the burner box and extend
beyond its edge. Securely tighten screws.
