Installing the Cooktop
The cooktop is supplied with two metal
mounting brackets. These brackets are
designedtoholdthecooktoprmlyinplace.
Thecooktopdoesnothaveametalframe
and should be sealed to the countertop. Use
a soft bedding compound that will
prevent damage if later removal for
service is necessary. We recommend a
nonadhesive type of sealant, such as
plumber’s putty, maximum compressed
thickness of 1/16”.
