PREPARING YOUR COOKTEK MAGNAWAVE COOKTOP FOR USE

Before operating your Cooktop, do the following:

1. Remove all packing material.

2. Place the unit on a dry, level, hard, stable, and non-flammable surface.

3. Keep unit away from other heat sources and allow at least 2 inches clearance for
air circulation at sides, front and rear of the unit. If either the air intake or
exhaust outlet is blocked, the internal temperature will rise, causing an error code
to occur.

Grounding Instructions:

The Cooktop must be properly grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit,
grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a safe path for the electric
current. The Cooktop has a power cord with a 3-prong grounding plug, which must
be used in a compatible and properly grounded outlet. It is the owner’s responsi­bility to replace any 2-prong wall outlet with a properly grounded 3-prong wall
receptacle.

For your safety, never cut, remove, or disable the electrical (ground) connection
from the plug. Never use an adapter plug or an extension cord with the Cooktop.

WARNING: Electric shock can result from an improperly grounded plug. Please
consult a qualified electrician if you have any questions about these grounding
instructions.

Before You Begin:

Some units may come equipped with a removable IEC Power Cord. Please make
sure that this power cord is firmly attached to your CookTek unit BEFORE plugging
the unit into the power receptacle and before attempting operation.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS*

Every installation site has different electrical wiring. Because many different local
codes exist, it is the Owner and Installer’s responsibility to comply with those codes.
CookTek is not responsible for any consequential damages as a result of failure to
comply with installation requirements.

• Read all installation instructions carefully before starting installation.

• Remove Cooktop carefully from carton.

• Remove all loose packaging and accessories.

• It is the responsibility of the installer to comply with all federal, state and local

codes.

• Any installation not matching the specifications discussed in this manual auto-

matically voids the product’s warranty.

• CookTek recommends that a dedicated electrical line be used for each Cooktop

installed. Electrical circuits should not be shared with any other electrical
equipment.

INSTALLATION OF DROP IN COOKTOPS

• When installing the drop-in Cooktop, use the dimensions provided in this
manual to trace the cutout dimensions onto the countertop.

• Be sure to allow for a minimum clearance of 2” between all sides of the
housing and any surface or obstacle, and 9” between the bottom of the housing
and any surface or obstacle.

• Cut out and drill holes as required in countertop.

• Drill holes for control box mounting.

• When installing the drop-in Cooktop , apply a bead of an NSF Standard 51
approved sealant (such as Dow Corning 732 Multi-Purpose Sealant or GE RTV

108) around all four edges of the countertop cutout. Carefully follow sealant
manufacturer's instructions to insure proper adhesion.

• Multi-Purpose Sealant or GE RTV 108) around all four edges of the countertop
cutout. Carefully follow sealant manufacturer’s instructions to insure proper
adhesion.

• Locate Cooktop over countertop cutout. Pass control panel and cord through
cutout, then pass the base of the Cooktop through the hole until flange rests on
the countertop.

• Mount control panel using screws supplied. Mounting options are illustrated in
attached drawing.

• Plug Cooktop into a grounded 120V or 200-240V (depending on the model
purchased), single-phase receptacle. Check rating plate on the Cooktop to
verify correct voltage. NOTE: For proper operation, a dedicated circuit

should be used for each unit installed. Each circuit should be protected
with a 20 amp minimum circuit breaker. For best operation, the counter
should have an opening near the unit for fresh air to circulate underneath.

COOKING BY POWER COOK (WATTAGE)*

General Operation:

Plug cooktop into a grounded, single-phase receptacle. Models will run on 100­120V drawing up to 1800W depending on model. Or on 208-240V drawing a max­imum of 3500W depending on the model. Check rating plate on unit to verify
correct voltage and wattage. Voltages below 120V or 240V can result in less than
rated power and slower heating times.
