⚙️ Installation
Skill Level: Moderate — 45–60 minutes. Disconnect power or shut off gas before beginning. Remove burner grates, caps, and any retaining screws securing the cooktop to the range body, then lift the assembly clear. Set the new cooktop in place, secure all fasteners, reinstall burner components, and restore power or gas. Confirm all burners ignite and seat correctly before returning the range to service.

💡 Pro Tip
Apply a thin coat of ceramic cooktop cleaner/protectant to the new surface before first use — it creates a micro-barrier that prevents staining and makes spill cleanup significantly easier. This one step extends the life of the surface and keeps it looking new for years.
