CAUTION
Sharp edges. Use protective gloves when installing 
the plate.
For safety reasons, the heat shield must be properly 
installed. This prevents components from overheating as 
a result of the recirculation of hot air from the cooktop.
The heat shield is the same width as the cooktop. For 
shipping, it is screwed to the burner box.
After unpacking the cooktop, unscrew the heat shield.
The heat shield will be able to rotate freely, as shown in 
the illustration.
Secure the cooktop to countertop

CAUTION
Do not let the glass drop into place. Make sure that 
it is supported along a broad area of the edges 
when carefully placing the cooktop into the cutout.
The appliance must be secured from below using the 
hold down brackets provided so it does not slip.

Rotate the appliance and fit it so that the screws 
provided are seated loosely in the holes. Move the

2.
Place the appliance carefully into the cutout.

Insert the clamping screws into the hold down
