Installing Brackets Before Placing Cooktop in Cutout:
Standard Models
1. Remove elements and burner bowls, and place the cooktop
on a protective surface.
2. Remove the attachment screws for the bracket locations
selected from the bottom of the burner box.
3. Use the bracket mounting holes that will allow the clamp
screws to contact the countertop bottom. Attach the brackets
as shown then rotate brackets so that they do not extend
beyond edge of burner box.
4. Tighten screws enough to hold brackets in place when the
cooktop is put into the cutout.
5. Turn the cooktop right side up. Gently place it into the cutout.
IMPORTANT: Check 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.
6. Loosen the screws. Rotate the brackets so that they extend
beyond the edge of the burner box. Securely tighten the
screws.
Lift Top Models
1. Place the cooktop right side up on the protective surface.
2. Remove the 2 Phillips round-head screws and hex nuts from
the envelope.
3. Lift top and install round-head screws through the burner box
and brackets so that the screw head is inside the burner box.
Attach the hex nuts against the clamp brackets.
4. Tighten hex nuts enough to hold brackets in place when
cooktop is put into the cutout.
IMPORTANT: Check 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.
5. Loosen the screws. Rotate the brackets so that they extend
beyond the edge of the burner box. Securely tighten the
screws .
Installing Brackets After Placing Cooktop in Cutout:
NOTE: This method is not recommended for lift top models.
1. Gently place the cooktop into the cutout.
IMPORTANT: Check 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.
2. Remove the attachment screws from the selected bracket
locations on the bottom of the burner box.
3. Attach the brackets as shown so that they are beyond the
edge of the burner box and the clamp screws will contact the
countertop bottom. Tighten screws securely.
4. Place the 2¹⁄₂” (6.4 cm) clamping screws into the brackets.
Use a screwdriver to tighten the screws against the
countertop. Do Not Overtighten.
5. Make electrical connection. See “Make Electrical Connection”
section.”
For Lift Top models only:
1. Raise cooktop. This will ensure that enough slack is left after
electrical connection to properly operate the lift top feature of
the cooktop.
2. If installing the cooktop over a lower built-in oven, check that
the cooktop lift top feature operates after oven installlation is
complete.
3. Reinstall the elements and burner bowls. Turn on the power
supply.
4. Depending on your model, push in and turn each control knob
to the”HI” position or touch “ON” and turn each control knob
to the “HI” position. Check the operation of the cooktop
elements and indicator lights.
