Electric Safety

WARNING

Before you plug in an electrical cord or turn on power supply, make sure all controls are in the OFF position.

If required by the National Electrical Code (or Canadian Electrical Code), this appliance must be installed on a separate branch circuit.

The circuit breaker should have a contact separation of at least 3 mm on all poles.

Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician. Installation, electrical connections and grounding must comply with all applicable codes.

Before installing, turn power OFF at the service panel. Lock service panel to prevent power from being turned ON accidentally.

WARNING

IMPROPER GROUNDING CAN RESULT IN A RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

Consult a qualified electrician if the grounding

instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. DO NOT USE AN

EXTENSION CORD.

Related Equipment Safety

The appliance should only be used if installed by a qualified technician in accordance with these installation instructions. The manufacturer is not responsible for any damage resulting from incorrect installation.

Never modify or alter the construction of the appliance. For example, do not remove leveling legs, panels, wire covers or anti-tip brackets/screws.

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 hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5 inches (127 mm) beyond the bottom of the cabinet.

Verify that cabinets above the cooktop are a maximum of 13" (330 mm) deep.

DO NOT install refrigerators, dishwashers, ovens (without ventilation), or washing machines below the Cooktop.

Note: We strongly recommend the installation of a ventilation system with this appliance.

State of California Proposition 65 Warnings

Countertop Requirements

9WARNING

To reduce the risk of ignition of surrounding combustible materials, install at least 2" (51 mm) from both sidewalls and the rear wall.

The countertop must be level and horizontal. The stability of the countertop must be maintained after the cut-out has been made.

Solid surface countertops often require special installations. For example, heat-reflective tape and rounded corners may be necessary. Contact the countertop manufacturer for instructions specific to your countertop.

4

Prepare Installation Space

Create the cut-out in the countertop according to the installation diagram. The angle of the cut surface to the countertop must be 90°.

The lateral cut-out edges must be flat in order to ensure that the retaining springs are positioned properly on the appliance. With multi-layered countertops, secure strips laterally in the cut-out if necessary.

After creating cut-out, remove shavings. Seal cut surfaces in a heatand water-resistant manner.

Observe minimum distance between device underside and cabinet surfaces of 3/8" (10 mm).

The worktop into which the cooktop is installed must be heat-resistant up to 140° F (90 °C).

The worktop must be reinforced if it is less than 4/5 inch (20 mm) thick.

If the thickness of the worktop into which the cooktop is installed does not comply with the specifications, reinforce the worktop using a fireand water-resistant material until it reaches the minimum thickness. Otherwise, sufficient stability cannot be assured.

The worktop into which the cooktop is installed should withstand loads of approx. 133 lbs (60 kg).

Only check the evenness of the cooktop after it has been installed.

	Ventilation

To assure that the appliance works correctly, the cooktop MUST be sufficiently ventilated.

Since the ventilation in the lower section of the appliance requires a sufficient supply of fresh air, the cabinet must be designed accordingly. The following is required for this:

A minimum clearance between the rear of the cupboard and the kitchen wall, and between the surface of the worktop and the upper area of the drawer.

If the minimum clearance of 25/32 inch (20 mm) is not provided at the rear of the cupboard, you must create an opening on the underside.

PLQ æʌ¼ʕʔ

Installation Procedure

9CAUTION

Sharp edges. Use protective gloves when installing the cooktop.

Note: The appliance is heavy. It is advisable to install it with a second person.

Installing the heat shield

9CAUTION

Sharp edges. Use protective gloves when installing the plate.

For safety reasons, the heat shield must be properly installed when closed cabinets are used. This prevents components from overheating as a result of the recirculation of hot air from the cooktop.

The heat shield is the same width as the cooktop. For shipping, it is screwed to the burner box.

After unpacking the cooktop, unscrew the heat shield.

The heat shield will be able to rotate freely, as shown in the illustration.

Secure the cooktop to countertop

9CAUTION

Do not let the glass drop into place. Make sure that it is supported along a broad area of the edges when carefully placing the cooktop into the cutout.

The appliance must be secured from below using the hold down brackets provided so it does not slip.

1.Rotate the appliance and fit it so that the screws provided are seated loosely in the holes. Move the hold down brackets so that the appliance can be placed in the cutout.

2.Place the appliance carefully into the cutout.

3.Insert the clamping screws into the hold down brackets and fix the appliance to the countertop. Tighten screws.

Note: Protect delicate countertops by placing a wooden disk underneath.

Electrical Installation

Electrical requirements

You can find the identification plate with the electrical specifications on the underside of the appliance. The junction box must be located within 3 feet of the cooktop connection. It should be easily accessible for service purposes.
