IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
For Your Safety
•For Personal Safety, remove house fuse or open circuit breaker before beginning installation. Failure to do so could result in serious injury or death.
•Be sure your cooktop is installed properly by a qualified installer or service technician.
•To eliminate the risk of burns or fire due to reaching over heated surface elements, cabinet storage located above the surface units should be avoided. If cabinet storage space is to be provided, the risk can be reduced by installing a range hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5" beyond the bottom of the cabinets. Cabinet installation above the cooktop may be no deeper than 13".
•Make sure the cabinets and wall coverings around the cooktop can withstand the temperatures (up to 200°F) generated y the cooktop.
•The cooktop should be easy to reach and lighted with natural light during the day.
•Always disconnect the electrical service to the cooktop before repairing or servicing the
cooktop. This can be done by disconnecting the fuse or circuit breaker. Failure to do this could result in a dangerous or fatal shock. Know where your main disconnect switch is located. If you do not know, have your electrician show you.
Electrical Requirements
This appliance must be supplied with the proper voltage and frequency, and connected to an individual, properly grounded branch circuit, protected by a circuit breaker or a time delay fuse as noted on name plate.
We recommend you have the electrical wiring and hookup of your cooktop connected by a qualified electrician. After installation, have the electrician show you where your main cooktop disconnect is located.
Wiring must conform to National Electrical Code. You can get a copy of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-Latest Edition, by writing:
