I cracked my cooktop glass and have purchased a replacement.

I am looking for an installation guide to put the new top on. It appears simple, it looks like the glass piece just sits on top of the range and is secured with a gray sealant. While pulling out the broken pieces of the old one I noticed the gray sealant that was used to secure the cooktop to the piece under the cooktop. I imagine this is a special sealant that has high heat charachteristics and I can't just use some silicone I pick up at the hardware store. Does anyone know what this product is and where I can get it and if there is more involved than just setting the glass piece in place on top of the range.

Thank you.

Was there ever an answer to the original question?

The unit comes installed - but if you crack the cooktop, and need a replacement, the replacement glass top comes without any sealant.

The GE guy just left my place after waiting 8 months for a replacement 36" induction top to be delivered, and his only advice, and the advice of his manager at the store was "Just use silicone seal and do it yourself.. the replacement top doesn't come with the seal"

Bad oversight on GE's part - but as silicone tends to be very heat resistant, I'm considering just putting a bead of clear silicone around this thing and being done with it.

And hey - GE - love your stuff, but 8 months to get a replacement top to a top-end product is really crappy service, as is having the replacement guy only do a half-baked job of replacing it. I'm sure if it ever breaks because of water damage, it will now be my fault, and not covered under warrantee.
