Installation Instructions
1. Initially prepare the cutout as per the installation
instructions that were supplied with your cooktop.
IMPORTANT: Prior to final installation of the unit
in the flush-mount cutout using the silicone caulk,
temporarily make all wiring connections and
check the unit per the installation instructions to
ensure it is working properly. The unit should be
re-wired and re-checked for correct working upon
final installation.
2. Use a pencil and measuring tape to prepare the
cutout area by marking it off per the dimensions
on page 4.
3. The cutout must be made to a maximum depth of
ó´DQGVKRXOGDOZD\VOHDYHDWOHDVWDǩ´JDSDOO
around the edge of the cooktop.
IMPORTANT: To ensure sufficient support for the
cooktop while cooking, reinforcing strips of wood
or solid surface material must be secured in place
below the edge of the cutout (see illustration).
Ensure sufficient support is provided in all
necessary locations on the countertop. Follow all
countertop manufacturer installation instructions.
WARNING
Failure to provide adequate
countertop reinforcement for cooktop may result
in damage to unit when weight is added to
cooktop during cooking.
INSTALLING THE COOKTOP
4. Vacuum dust and other particles from the cooktop
cutout.
5. Apply the black foam tape provided in the kit to
the top of the rabbeted edge of the countertop,
flush with the outer edge of the rabbet (see
picture in step 3.) The foam tape will keep the
silicone sealant from seeping between the
countertop and the underside of the cooktop.
Make sure the foam tape does not overlap - it
needs to be a single thickness for proper spacing.
6. Apply the Teflon tape to the underside of the
cooktop flush with the outside edge of the glass
and partially covering the metal flange (see picture
in step 3.) Trim the Teflon tape at the corners of
the cooktop to match the curve of the glass. The
Teflon tape will keep the silicone sealant from
seeping between the glass and the metal.
7. Install the hold-down brackets provided in the kit
onto the cooktop (both sides). DO NOT TIGHTEN
YET. Turn the brackets inwards to avoid
interference when dropping the cooktop into the
countertop. The baffle supplied with the cooktop
needs to be attached as well, unless the cooktop
is being installed over a single wall oven.
