So, in removing this uh cook top right here, you're only going to need just a few simple little tools. We've got ourselves a couple screwdrivers, a Phillips head and a flathead screwdriver to uh change out the electrical electrical connections. And then we got ourselves a few rags. We're going to be leaning this thing up to work on it. But prior to doing any of the work on this cooktop, you definitely want to have the electricity turned off to this cooktop. So, you're going to have to go to your electrical panel and make sure the breaker is off to this cooktop cuz there's uh an electrical connection come to this thing and it's pretty hot. You don't want to get shocked by this thing. So, we're going to walk you over to the electrical panel, show you how you turn this thing off. So, now I've located my electrical panel right here and it's actually in the laundry room and the electrical panel is all labeled and we've got a breaker switch right here that's labeled to the stove in the cooktop. And all we're going to want to do is just make sure that thing is flicked and into the off position. Definitely don't want that cooktop on when you're working on it. So, just um locate your electrical panel. Make sure that that thing is turned off. Uh and this breaker switch is turned to the off position. Here's a look at our electrical panel right here. And all the labels. All we've got one labeled right there that says stove top and it's a 30 amp breaker. And we're just going to we flipped that thing to the off position.
