ABSTRACT:
A cooktop has its body disposed within a rectangular shaped opening in a counter top. The body has upper front and rear flanges larger than the opening in the counter top to rest on the counter top. The cooktop has two slidably mounted clamping brackets on its bottom surface with one at its front edge and the other at its rear edge. Each clamping bracket is releasably held in a retracted position within the periphery of the bottom surface of the cooktop during insertion of the cooktop into the opening. Each clamping bracket has two elongated slots through which two screws extend into two holes in the bottom surface of the cooktop. After the cooktop is inserted within the opening in the counter top, the two screws for each clamping bracket are loosened, and each clamping bracket is moved to an extended position with its maximum being the length of the elongated slots. Each clamping bracket has a nut to receive a long screw. Each long screw is rotated through the nut on the clamping bracket until it engages the bottom surface of the counter top to prevent movement of the cooktop. More than one of the cooktops may be disposed adjacent each other in the opening.
