I just put one of these in. You're right, there is nothing in the instructions about this, I had to figure it out for myself.
Your kit includes two brackety-shaped steel brackets and two long screws. Look on the bottom of your cooktop, halfway between the front and back on the left and right edges and you'll see a hole on each side. They are the only holes on the bottom.
Manipulate the brackets until you see that the hole in the bracket matches the hole in the bottom AND the bracket fits upward along the side of the cooktop. The flange on the top end of the bracket goes against the bottom of the countertop.
It's useful to have another person lift each end of the cooktop while you insert the bracket from below.
Once the brackets are in lace, center the cooktop so it's straight on the countertop, then screw the brackets to the bottom of the cooktop. They will tighten against the countertop and make the cooktop stop wiggling.

Your spark module is bad and needs to be changed if you plan on using the electronic start instead of lighting it manually. The part cost about $11. (just looked it up), and its something you can change yourself

I can't get the electric ignition to stop clicking. I'm not sure this is the right model, but it looked the closest to my cooktop

Hi- most likely the spark module is bad. Sometimes a burner swith gets stuck as well. Unplug the unit, the plug should be inside the cabinet. Take off the knobs and see if you see any obstructions and see if the knob posts move freely in and out (push to turn). Probably need to get a Tech out to look at it. If it is clicking even when the burners are off you can just leave it unplugged and light with a match to use it. If it is only clicking when you have the burners on check to be sure all the burner bases and caps are assembled correctly and seated, sometimes the electrode will continue to click if the burners are assembled wrong or are wet. Hope this helps a little. Good Luck.

Install cooktop

Most cooktops do not require clamping devices, it hangs from the counter top. Do not adhere or use caulking to secure to counter top. Some day it may require servicing and will have to be removed.

Removing and reinstalling

There should be removabe clamps attatched to the bottom of the cooktop which tighten with a screw to the bottom of your countertop. Loosen the screws to the countertop, then remove the screws that attach the brackets to the cooktop. The cooktop should then be able to be pulled out.
