5. Ensure that you have a grounded electrical supply. Follow the electrical requirements section in the manual and consult with a qualified electrical installer to ensure compliance with local codes and ordinances.

8. After installing the cooktop, make the electrical connection according to the type of electrical supply you have. The manual provides different electrical connection options, including using a 4-wire or 3-wire cable, depending on your local codes and regulations. Follow the instructions and diagrams provided in the manual to ensure a proper and safe electrical connection.
9. Finally, complete the installation by attaching the cooktop to the countertop using the clamping brackets provided. The manual provides step-by-step instructions and illustrations for this process.
10. Once the installation is complete, double-check that all parts are properly installed, clean the cooktop before use, and reconnect the power.
