CAUTION
Never use a metal blade to pry off knobs. If a knob cannot be
easily removed, tuck folds of a dishtowel under the knob skirt
and pull upward with steady, even pressure.
2. DETERMINE PLACEMENT
Determine where the unit will be installed to conform with all safety codes and the guidelines below. Unit may be safely installed as near as 2" (5.08 cm) from any cabinet or wall if space limitations require.
Installing cabinetry over the cooktop:
1.To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over heated surface units, cabinet storage space located above the surface units should be avoided.
2.If cabinet storage is to be provided, the risk can be reduced by installing a range hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5" (12.7 cm) beyond the bottom of the cabinets.
3.A clearance of 30" (76.2 cm) minimum is required between the top of the cooktop and the bottom of an unprotected wood or metal cabinet.
4.A clearance of 18" (45.72 cm) minimum is required when the bottom of a wood or metal cabinet is protected by not less than 1/4" (0.635 cm) FLAME RETARDANT millboard covered with not less than No. 28 MSG sheet steel, 0.015" (0.28 cm) stainless steel or 0.024" (0.061 cm) aluminum or copper.

3. PROVIDE CUTOUT
After determining correct cooktop position using the guidelines, make the cutout in the counter top (Refer to illustrations).
CAUTION
Cutout dimensions are critical. Dimensions must be
measured and cut accurately to within ± 1/16" (.16 cm) to
insure proper fit.
Cutout:
1.Chamfer all exposed edges of decorative laminate to prevent damage from chipping.
2.Radius corners of cutout and file to insure smooth edges and prevent corner cracking.
3.Rough edges, inside corners which have not been rounded and forced fits can contribute to cracking of the countertop laminate.
4.Countertop must be supported within 3" (7.62 cm) of cutout.
NOTE: Countertop must be flat below the cooktop from the cutout to the edge of the glass. 13/16" is the distance from the edge of cooktop glass to the edge of the cutout.

CAUTION
Do not over-tighten the hold down adjusting screw. Damage
to the glass cooktop will occur if excessive pressure is used.
Secure the unit to the countertop using only the hold down
bracket and adjusting screw provided, do not use any other
means to secure the unit.
NOTE: Foam tape is supplied with the unit. If desired, apply the foam tape around the bottom outside edge of the glass before installing unit.

5. MAKE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
•Check that the power supply is OFF.
•Make electrical connection to the unit.
•Consult local codes for proper power hookup.

This unit is supplied with an electrical junction box on a 48" long, 1/2" (1.3 cm) I.D. flexible conduit. The junction box is designed to be attached to a solid mounting surface in the area below the cooktop. Connect all supply wires to the power block with approved connectors. Bare wires can be attached using the supplied bare wire adapter lugs. All connections should be torqued to 20 in-lb.
6. TEST THE UNIT
•Restore the power supply and test to insure control knobs operate all elements properly.
Marine and RV Installation
Utensil Retention Device:
This unit does not include sea rails or other devices to stabilize or secure cooking pots or utensils. Pot retention devices must be used to secure items to the cooktop.
CAUTION
Cookware retention devices must be installed and used
properly to minimize the potential for spills and burns.
Extreme caution should be exercised when cooking in a
moving boat or vehicle.
Marine Wiring:
In marine applications, ABYC 826, E-11, AC&DC Electrical Systems, should govern cooktop installation.
You must provide an adequate electrical supply system as required for your cooktop. All wire connections must be in accordance with local codes and properly insulated. Check with local utility for governing electrical codes and ordinances. In the absence of local electrical codes, the National Electrical Code (NEC), ANSI/NFPA No. 70-latest edition, governing electric range installations must be followed. A copy of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-latest edition can be obtained by writing to:
