MOVING AND PLACING THE COOKTOP
The cooktops have a shipping weight of approximately 228 pounds (36" models) and 324 pounds (48" models).
After removal of packing materials, it is recommended that the grates and drip pan (below knobs) be removed to
facilitate handling. This will reduce the weight to about 150 pounds.

DO NOT REMOVE THE GRILL OR GRIDDLE ASSEMBLIES.
NOTE:
If a solid side cabinet wall exists on one or both sides, you will need to notch the front corner of the cabinet to match the
c
ounter top notch and to provide clearance for the cooktop front (see page 14).
It may be necessary to remove the cooktop knobs to pass through some doorways. With the knobs removed a
29-3/8" wide opening is required. Remove the outer carton and packing material from the shipping base. The
cooktop is held to the skid by four straps. After removing the straps, the cooktop must be lifted and removed
from the skid.
