GE Monogram ZGU36N4D - Manual (Page 7)

Measure carefully when cutting the countertop.
Make sure sides of the opening are parallel.
• These cooktops require 8" free space below the
countertop to house the cooktop burner box.
• Allow additional clearances below the burner box
to install the regulator and make house supply
connections. Use a 90° elbow to route the gas
connections and limit interference with drawers
or other cabinetry features.
• These cooktops are designed to hang from the
countertop from its rear and side flanges.
• Smooth any rough edges on the countertop before
installing the cooktop.
– Formica countertop edges must be finished.
The countertop must be strong enough to
support the weight of the cooktop.
• Support cleats can be secured to cabinet sides.
OR
• Build a support deck or box inside the cabinet which
will support the weight of the cooktop.
– Build the support box using a solid material, cut a
5" x 5" square in the left rear corner for the gas inlet
and power cord clearances.
• After the cooktop is installed, the bottom front edge of
the cutout may need to be covered. Install a trim strip
from the cabinet manufacturer to match cabinetry.
