Note: The appliance should not be installed with a
ventilation system that blows air downward toward the
burners. This type of ventilation system may cause ignition
and combustion problems with the gas cooking appliance
resulting in personal injury or unintended operation.
Installation Procedure
Prepare the Countertop
Cut out the countertop per the dimensions shown in
“Cabinet Requirements” on page 3.
Some solid surface materials, such as Surell™ and
Corian®, require different cutting methods. Consult with the
solid surface manufacturer for the correct cutting method
needed. Apply heat reflective tape such as Scotch
Aluminum Foil Tape #425 or #427 (not included) around the
cutout so that it folds over on the top and sides. Do not
wrap the tape underneath the cooktop. Be sure the tape
extends beyond the outermost flange of the cooktop. All
corners should be covered with tape.
Seal the Cooktop with Foam Tape
Apply the self adhesive foam tape in one continuous
rectangle directly to the counter around the perimeter of the
cutout as shown by the dotted line in Figure 4: “Counter
Cutout – Foam Tape Placement”. Leave 1/4” (6.35mm) gap
between the foam tape and the edge of the cutout.
Install the Cooktop
Insert cooktop into the cutout. Attach clamps of the hold-
down brackets packaged with the cooktop to the rough-in
box. Use the washer and screws provided.
Adjust hold-down brackets to desired position and tighten
screws to rough-in box. Insert adjusting screw into clamp
and secure cooktop to countertop.
NOTE:
For solid surface material installations: Insert a wooden
block between the end of the screw and the bottom of the
countertop. Do not overtighten adjusting screw. Trim
excess aluminum tape around cooktop flange.
9 WARNING
To avoid electrical shock hazard, before installing
the cooktop, switch power off at the service panel to
prevent the power from being switched on
accidentally.
