INSTALLING THE COOKTOP
Lift the cooktop by the glass side edges as
shown.
NOTE: Do not use the glass top vent opening
to lift or move the cooktop into position.
Lower the cooktop into the countertop
opening, guiding it into position. Glass is
fragile—do not allow it to drop onto the
countertop. Support from the underside and
lower slowly.
Carefully remove your fingers one corner at a
time to lower the cooktop into position.
NOTE: Do not use Silicone RTV or caulk to
bond cooktop glass to countertop.
CHECKING FOR FLATNESS
Inspect the cooktop glass for rocking
or uneven gap on all four sides at the
countertop surface. Do not attempt to
force the glass to meet the countertop.
