IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
General Precautions, cont.
WARNING
• Concerning cooktop service/maintenance:
- Before installing/servicing the unit, switch power off at the service panel, then lock the panel to prevent power from being
switched on. If the panel cannot be locked, securely/prominently fasten a warning device (e.g., tag) to the service panel.
- Clean/maintain the cooktop regularly as instructed in the Use and Care manual; a dirty cooktop is a possible fire hazard.
• Concerning cooking practices:
- Use the cooktop only for tasks consistent with a home appliance. This cooktop is not engineered for commercial/industrial use.
- Do not let pans boil dry.
- Do not turn the cooktop ON with empty cookware on a cooking element.
- To prevent steam burns, do not remove cookware from the cooktop with wet potholders, and use extreme caution when adding
water to food in a hot pan.
- To avoid personal injury or appliance damage, use only ferrous (magnetic) cookware.
• Concerning foreign objects on/above/near the cooktop, do not:
- keep items on the cooktop.
- place plastic items on the hot glass surface.
- place or cook with aluminum foil directly on the glass; the foil can melt and mar the glass.
- place objects on/near the cooktop controls to avoid accidentally activating the cook zones.
- keep flammable/explosive vapors and liquids (e.g., paper/plastic/cloth, gas, alcohol, aerosol cans) on or near the cooktop.
- store flammable/explosive materials in adjacent cabinets or areas (incl. above/below the cooktop).
- hang flammable/heat-sensitive objects over the cooktop.
- use window treatments that could blow over the cooktop and create a fire hazard.
CAUTION
• Concerning scratching or otherwise damaging the cooktop surface, do not:
- operate the appliance if the glass is broken or severely pitted. (The cooktop glass resists impact, but foreign objects dropped
with enough force can crack or pit it.) Cleaning solutions and spill-overs may penetrate a broken cooktop, creating an electricshock risk. Contact a qualified technician immediately to replace a damaged/pitted cooktop.
- set cookware with sharp-edged bottoms, support legs, or lower corners on the cooktop.
- allow acidic foods/juices (e.g., citrus, pineapple, tomato sauce, wine, cranberry) or foods made with these items, linger on the
cooktop surface (wipe the up immediately); remove cooked-on residue with a razor scraper.
- use a sharp or sharp-edged object (e.g., knife, metal spatula) to clean up spills.
- slide cookware across the cooktop.
- place hot cookware on a cold cooktop.
IMPORTANT
Testing found this cooktop model to be within the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 18 of FCC rules. These limits
are meant to minimize the likelihood of harmful interference to household radio/TV reception from radio-frequency energy, which this
appliance uses, generates, and radiates.
If the cooktop is not installed/operated as specified, harmful interference to household radio/TV reception may occur. Even proper
installation, however, is no guarantee of prevention. If the cooktop interferes with radio/TV reception (turning the cooktop off and on
will determine this), you may be able to correct the interference via any or all of these methods:
• Re-orient/relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the distance between the appliance and receiver/antenna.
• Connect the receiver to a different circuit.

INSTALLATION SPECIFICATIONS
Electrical Specifications
IMPORTANT
The cooktop’s electrical-connection lead wires may be a smaller
gauge than is installed in your home; however, the National
Electric Code and local inspection authority specify that smallergauge wire is compatible with the larger-gauge wire.
• The owner shall ensure that a licensed electrician
installs the electrical supply for the cooktop.
• The electrical installation (incl. minimum supply wire
size) must comply with the National Electric Code
ANSI/NFPA 70 (latest revision), and local codes and
ordinances. To obtain a copy of the standard, contact:
National Fire Protection Association

• Correct voltage/frequency/amperage must be supplied to
the cooktop from a dedicated, grounded circuit protected
by the correctly sized circuit breaker or time-delay fuse.
If using the fuse, fuse both sides of the line (L1 and L2).
Total Connected Load*Dedicated Circuit Required
46.7 Amp. (11.2 kW)240V, 60 Hz. 3-Wire** 50 Amp.
The specifications in this table are for reference only.
* See the product-data label for the current and exact specifications.
** Two 120V hot (L1 and L2), plus one ground (use all-copper wires in all lines)
• The junction box and the circuit breaker or fuse box
must be accessible when the cooktop is in place.
Location Requirements
• Non-combustible material should be installed on the
wall behind the cooktop; the surrounding cabinetry must
be able to withstand the temperatures (max. 200°F)
generated by the cooktop.
• To avoid a fire hazard, do not install the cooktop between
two tall cabinets.
• To avoid burn injuries from reaching over an active
cooking area, do not install cabinets above the cooktop.
(If there are cabinets above the cooktop, install a range
hood to discourage/prevent storage in those cabinets.
• Do not install the cooktop above a drawer. (The cooktop
chassis must have sufficient space below for airflow
and installation/inspection/service; see Under-Counter Clearance section, next page.)
• Follow all electrical specifications.
• Plan all installation aspects around local building codes;
consult the local building department for details.)
• Install the junction box within reach of the cooktop’s
48-in. (122 cm) power conduit at the bottom-right rear of
the chassis.
• Do not install another kitchen appliance below the cooktop.
WARNING
• To reduce risk of fire, and cooktop malfunction/damage, be
sure to exceed all min/max clearances in these instructions.
• Do not modify the cooktop’s electrical conduit.
• Do not use an extension cord.
Cooktop Clearance/Ventilation
Under-Counter Clearance

• at least 4 3/4” (12.7 cm) clearance from the countertop to
any surface below (incl. upper edges of drawers)
• 1 1/2” (3.8 cm) minimum clearance between the chassis’s front vents and the cabinet’s inside wall.
• If the cooktop chassis is fully enclosed, provide ventilation of at least 18 square inches into the enclosure.
Overhead Ventilation
To reduce smoke accumulation and risk of personal injury, a
range hood should be installed above the cooktop. The hood
should overhang the entire cooktop surface and project at
least 5 in. beyond the bottom of any overhead cabinets.
Miscellaneous Installation
Countertop
• Always consult the countertop manufacturer for specific
installation instructions/requirements.
• The cutout must accept the cooktop chassis’s corners.
