INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Prepare Cooktop for Installation WARNING Excessive Weight Hazard Use two or more people to move and install cooktop. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury. Write down the model and serial numbers before installing the cooktop. Both numbers are located on the center underside of the burner box. Unpack the parts supplied with your cooktop. Do not unpack or remove the grate and burner base(s) from the carton until after the cooktop is installed to reduce the risk of scratching the cooktop. The parts shipped with the cooktop depend on the model ordered. See the "Tools and Parts" section for a complete list of parts supplied with the cooktop. Decide on the final location for the cooktop. Locate existing wiring to avoid drilling into or severing wiring during installation. The pressure regulator and flexible stainless steel gas supply line can be assembled to the cooktop before or after the cooktop is installed. See the "Make Gas Connection" section. 1. Remove the foam strip from the hardware package. Remove the backing from the foam strip. For countertop installations: Apply the foam strip with the adhesive side to the countertop within 1/16" (1.6 mm) of the edge of the cutout, front, back, and sides. For flush installations: Apply the foam strip with the adhesive side to the bottom of the cutout recessed area. Save the excess foam strip for use with the mounting bridge kit. NOTE: The foam strip helps keep the underside of the cooktop frame free from debris and helps the cooktop sit flat on uneven countertops. Do not silicone seal in place. A B C D A. Countertop B.
