Frigidaire Cooktop Installation Kit

While this kit is branded by Frigidaire, the retainer brackets and silicone sealant are designed to work with most standard cooktop models that require under-counter mounting. However, we recommend checking your specific cooktop's installation manual to ensure the bracket style matches your unit's mounting requirements.

The silicone sealant is essential for creating a watertight seal between the cooktop edge and the granite surface. This prevents liquids, crumbs, and debris from seeping into the cabinet below and helps cushion the cooktop against the hard stone surface to prevent cracking.

This kit is specifically engineered for granite and other stone surfaces where drilling or clamping directly into the material is difficult. While it may work with other solid surface materials, it is optimized for the structural needs of granite countertops.

You will need a standard screwdriver or drill to secure the brackets, along with a caulk gun to apply the included silicone sealant. The kit provides the hardware, but you should have basic hand tools ready for the installation process.

Galvanized steel is used for the retainer brackets because it is highly resistant to rust and corrosion. This is crucial for a kitchen environment where humidity and potential spills could otherwise degrade standard metal hardware over time.
