IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

INSTALLER: LEAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS WITH THE APPLIANCE AFTER INSTALLATION IS COMPLETE. IMPORTANT: SAVE FOR THE LOCAL INSPECTOR'S USE.

Important Safety

Instructions

WARNING: Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause injury or property damage. Refer to this manual. For assistance or additional information consult a qualified installer, service agency, or manufacturer.

•Have the installer show you the location of the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy reference.

•Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician.

Equipment and Usage Safety Requirements

•Before you plug in an electrical cord, be sure all controls are in the OFF position.

•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. If cabinet storage is to be provided, the risk can be reduced by installing a range hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5 inches (12.7 cm) beyond the bottom of the cabinet.

•This appliance has been tested in accordance with ANSI/UL 858 Standard for Safety for Household Electric Ranges and CAN/CSA-22.2 No.61 National Standard of Canada for Household Cooking Ranges. It is the responsibility of the owner and installer to determine if additional requirements and standards apply in specific installations.

Cabinet Requirements	CAUTION: 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. If cabinet storage is to be provided, the risk
	can be reduced by installing a range hood that projects horizontally a minimum of
	5 in. (127 mm) beyond the bottom of the cabinets.

	This unit is designed for installation in the counter top with zero clearance to adja-
	cent walls and projecting surfaces constructed of combustible materials. A 30-
	inch (76.2 cm) minimum clearance is required between the top of the cooktop and
	the bottom of an unprotected cabinet. A 24-inch (60.9 cm) minimum distance is
	necessary when the bottom of the wood or metal cabinet is protected by not less
	than 1/4 inch (6.35 mm) of a flame retardant material covered with not less than
	No. 28 MSG sheet steel, 0.015-inch (0.4 mm) thick stainless steel, 0.024-inch (0.6
	mm) aluminum, or 0.020-inch (0.5 mm) thick copper. Flame retardant materials
	bear the mark:
	UNDERWRITERS LABORATORIES INC.
		CLASSIFIED
	MINERAL AND FIBER BOARDS
	SURFACE BURNING CHARACTERISTICS
	Followed by the flame spread and smoke ratings, these designations are shown
	as “FHC (Flame Spread)/(Smoke Developed)”. Materials with “O” flame spread
	ratings are flame retardant. Local codes may allow other flame spread ratings.
	The minimum horizontal clearance from the sides and back edge of the cooktop to
	the adjacent vertical combustible walls is 0 (zero) inches.
Countertop Requirements	The cutout dimensions depend upon whether the installation is for replacement,
	new construction, or installation in a solid surface countertop material, such as

Surel™, Corian® etc. These materials require larger cutouts, use of heat reflective tape and rounded corners. Always consult the countertop manufacturer for specific installation instructions.

	*For solid surface countertop installations, use maximum cutout dimensions and
	consult surface manufacturer for specific cutting instructions.
Power Requirements	Power Supply is dual rated: 240 Volts or 208 Volts, 3 wire, 60 Hz, with the follow-
	ing circuit breaker requirements:

•Model NEM73: 30 Amp circuit breaker

•Model NEM93: 40 Amp circuit breaker

•All Models: 240 Volt, 3 Wire, 60 Hz / 208 Volt, 3 Wire, 60 Hz

Connect only to a 3-wire 120/240 or 120/208 volt AC system. The neutral is not required for the operation of this appliance but an independent ground is required.

Install a junction box (not supplied), below the counter top within 3 feet (91.4 cm) of flexible conduit (supplied) located at the left rear corner of the cooktop rough-in box. Plan the installation of the unit so the location of the junction box is within 3 feet (91.4 cm) of the left rear of the cooktop bottom. It must be accessible from the front of the cabinet.

Installation Procedure

1) Seal the Cooktop with Foam Tape

2) Prepare the Countertop

WARNING: To avoid electrical shock hazard, before installing the cooktop, switch power off at the service panel and lock the panel to prevent the power from being switched on accidentally.

A foam tape is provided to seal the cooktop edges to the countertop. Turn cooktop upside down and apply tape approximately 1/16” (1.6 mm) from the glass edges. Use tape around the entire glass perimeter. Cut off excess tape where tape ends butt.

Cut out the countertop per the dimensions shown in Table 1 Countertop Cutout Dimensions. Always consult the countertop manufacturer for specific instructions.

Countertops made from natural (i.e. granite and marble) or SOLID SURFACE MATERIALS, such as Surell™ and Corian®, require special cutout preparation and installation procedures. Follow the guidelines below for preparing the cutout for solid surfaces.

1.Round the cutout corners according to instructions from the countertop manufacturer.

2.Apply heat reflective tape (such as Scotch® Aluminum Foil Tape #425 or #427) around the cutout so that it folds over the top and side surfaces. Be sure the tape extends beyond the outermost flange of the cooktop. All corners should also be covered with tape.

3.Attach brackets to the burner box using washers and screws provided. Use a wooden block underneath the countertop before tightening the bracket screws.

4.Center cooktop in the cutout to ensure adequate clearance between the burner box and countertop edge. (A light pencil mark along the center of front edge and side edge of cooktop and counter will aid in the positioning of the cooktop in the center.)

5.Trim excess aluminum tape from along the frame edges. BE CAREFUL not to scratch the countertop.
