INSTALLING ELECTRIC COOKTOP. DIY Range or Stove Top Installation Instructions.

What happens here

Unbox the new cooktop and place it on a clean, protected surface near the counter opening. Use a tape measure to quickly measure the dimensions of the new cooktop to ensure it matches the existing hole size in the countertop. Some newer cooktops may come with a different conduit connector or no connector, so prepare to adapt the old one if necessary. If the new cooktop's flexible conduit has a pre-attached elbow or plate that doesn't match your existing electrical box setup, you may need to remove it using a drill to prepare for attaching the appropriate connector from the old unit.

Goal: Get the new cooktop ready for installation

way and get our new one to reinstall. [Music] Now, we're getting ready to set this new unit. We got all the packing off it. We're going to set it right back into the hole that the old one came out of. The old one didn't have any supporting brackets on it or anything to um hold it down or cinch it down. Make sure you read the instructions in case there's supporting uh brackets for the model that you have that are required per code to actually install this thing. And and if there if you have to have them per code and it's going to be inspected, make sure those those supporting or mounting brackets are installed previous to setting this unit down. This unit was set into this concrete or this um granite slab without any brackets and support. And now we're just going to lift this. We lifted it out. We're going to be just reinstalling this new one in the the exact same way. Just going to measure quickly to make sure this is the identical unit, identical hole size before we attempt to put it in. So now we got our unit. We're just going to lift it up now. Turn it around where it's supposed to go. I'm going to drop my electrical conduit down there. And it just sits right in there nice and easily. Now we'll begin reconnecting our electrical connections. So, the new unit, the conduit, it didn't come with this elbow and this plate right here. So, we're just going to remove this cuz we're going to reuse it. Just has a nut that screws the elbow onto this base plate. So, we're just going to remove this nut. Remove this plate. And then there's just two screws that screw this elbow on. And just like it came off came off, we're just going to install this on our new conduit.
