UNPACKING THE COOKTOP/INSTALLING THE GASKET
8 INSTALLING THE FOAM GASKET
Do not install the cooktop into the countertop
without installing the foam gasket as shown.
It protects the bottom edge of the glass from
the countertop and seals the cooktop against
spills.
Remove the cooktop along with its shipping
pad from the shipping box. Remove the
shipping block from the downdraft vent
opening and place it under the shipping
pad to provide level support.
CAUTION:
DO NOT BUMP EDGE OF GLASS DURING
INSTALLATION.
Locate the foam gasket tape included with
your cooktop.
Peel off the white backing to install the foam
gasket tape on the bottom side of the cooktop
glass as shown.
Installation Instructions

GLASS IS FRAGILE.
Foam Gasket Installation Notes:
• The foam gasket tape should be installed
within 1/8" of the edge of the glass. Do not
stretch or twist the foam gasket tape.
CAUTION:
foam gasket tape greatly increases the
potential of breaking the cooktop glass
when installing, especially in Corian
granite countertops.
• Use care not to stretch the foam gasket
tape while it is installed or it will not stay
in place.
• Do not place foam gasket tape over the
metal flanges.
• Butt the foam gasket tape ends together at
each corner without overlapping.
• Trim the foam gasket tape to length without
stretching.
• Mitre cut outside corners of foam gasket
tape slightly if necessary for appearance.
• Do not scratch the glass while cutting the
foam gasket tape.
