IMPORTANT SAFETYINSTRUCTIONS

FORYOUR SAFETY

For Personal Safety, remove house fuse or open
circuit breaker before beginning installation.
Failure to do so could result in serious injury or

death.
Be sure your cooktop is installed properly by a

qualified installer or service technician.
To eliminate the risk of burns or fire due to
reaching over heated surface elements, cabinet

storage located above the surface units should
be avoided. If cabinet storage space is to be
provided, the risk can be reduced by installing a
range hood that projects horizontally a minimum
of 5" beyond the bottom of the cabinets. Cabinet
installation above the cooktop may be no deeper

than 13".

• Make sure the cabinets and wall coverings
around the cooktop can withstand the
temperatures (up to 200°F) generated y the
cooktop.

• The cooktop should be easy to reach and lighted
with natural light during the day.

• Always disconnect the electrical service to
the cooktop before repairing or servicing the
cooktop. This can be done by disconnecting the

fuse or circuit breaker. Failure to do this could
result in a dangerous or fatal shock. Know where

.your main disconnect switch is located. If .you do

not know, have .your electrician show .you.
