Step 1: Cut the Power Supply. Before initiating any installation, it is essential that the circuit breaker for the area where work will be done is turned off.
Step 2: Disconnect the Current Cooktop. The gas supply hose, electric cord, and water line located beneath the current cooktop should be found. They should be detached from the work surface and the exposed ends capped.
Step 3: Take Out the Current Cooktop. Either a flathead screwdriver or a Phillips head screwdriver should be utilized to take off any bolts fastening the cooktop to the work surface. After the bolts are removed, the cooktop should be gently raised up and out of its position.
Step 4: Wipe Down the Work Surface. With a soft cloth and some mild dish soap, the worktop surface should be cleaned to ensure it is devoid of dirt and dust. The underside of the cooktop should be checked to verify that no remnants of the previous cooktop remain.
Step 5: Position the New Cooktop. The new cooktop should be set onto the work surface and it should be verified that it is level. Note: The edges of the cooktop should align flush with the countertop.
Step 6: Fasten the Cooktop. The provided screws should be employed to fasten the cooktop to the work surface. It should ensure that the screws are tightened firmly.
Step 7: Reconnect the Gas, Electric, and Water Lines. The gas supply hose, electric cord, and water line should be attached to the underside of the cooktop. The connections should be hand-tightened.
Step 8: Verify the Cooktop Functionality. The electric cord should be plugged in and the circuit breaker activated. The cooktop should be turned on and allowed to operate for a few minutes to confirm it is functioning properly. After testing, the cooktop should be switched off and the circuit breaker deactivated.
