Description

This top plate assembly is the metal top panel that surrounds and supports the cooktop area, restoring a stable mounting surface and improving the appliance's appearance. Use it when the existing top is dented, warped, or damaged. What it does:

• Replaces a bent, cracked or corroded top panel that prevents burners or elements from seating properly
• Provides a secure mounting surface for surface elements, grates, and control components
• Restores a flush, finished look to the cooktop area and prevents debris from falling into the range cavity
• Helps maintain proper spacing and alignment for safe operation of surface components

What's included:

• One top plate assembly

Install notes:

• Disconnect power to the appliance at the breaker before starting any work
• Remove surface elements, grates, and any trim to access fasteners
• Handle edges carefully—metal panels can have sharp edges; wear gloves and eye protection
• Keep mounting hardware and any grounding straps in place or reuse original fasteners; verify fit before tightening
