IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!

For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual.

Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your cooktop unless it is specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

Before performing any service, disconnect the cooktop power supply at the household distribution panel by removing the fuse or switching off the circuit breaker.

Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician in accordance with the provided installation instructions.

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

Do not leave children alone—children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where an appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.

Teach children not to play with the controls or any other part of the cooktop.

Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on the cooktop.

CAUTION: Items of interest to children should not be stored in cabinets above a cooktop—children climbing on the cooktop to reach items could be seriously injured.

Always keep combustible wall covering, curtains or drapes a safe distance from your cooktop.

Always keep dish towels, dish cloths, pot holders and other linens a safe distance away from your cooktop.

Always keep wooden and plastic utensils and canned food a safe distance away from your cooktop.

Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance. Flammable material could be ignited if brought in contact with hot surface units and may cause severe burns.

Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let pot holders touch hot surface units. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth. Such cloths can catch fire on a hot surface unit.

COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY…

Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F. and poultry to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.

WARNING!

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

For your safety, never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.

Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a flaming pan on a surface unit by covering the pan completely with well fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out by covering with baking soda or, if available, by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

Do not flame foods on the cooktop. If you do flame foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate on the cooktop.

Do not touch surface units. These surfaces may be hot enough to burn even though they are dark in color. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact the surface units or areas nearby the surface units; allow sufficient time for cooling first.

Potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop and areas facing the cooktop.

To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage, the handle of a container should be turned toward the center of the cooktop without extending over any nearby surface units.

Always turn the surface unit control to off before removing the cookware.

To avoid the possibility of a burn or electric shock, always be certain that the controls for all surface units are at off position and all coils are cool before attempting to lift or remove the unit.

Do not immerse or soak removable surface units. Do not put them in a dishwasher.

Use proper pan size—Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element. The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the surface unit to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of cookware to burner will also improve efficiency.

Never leave surface units unattended at high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.

Be sure the drip pans are not covered and are in place. Their absence during cooking could damage cooktop parts and wiring.

Do not use aluminum foil to line the drip pans. Misuse could result in a shock, fire hazard or damage to the cooktop.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, earthenware or other glazed containers are suitable for cooktop cooking; others may break because of the sudden change in temperature.

Never clean the cooktop surface when it is hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes and wet cloths could cause steam burns if used on a hot surface.

Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or medium high heat settings.

Foods for frying should be as dry as possible. Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over the sides of the pan.

Use little fat for effective shallow or deepfat frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause spillovers when food is added.

If a combination of oils or fats will be used in frying, stir together before heating, or as fats melt slowly.

Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.

Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking point.

Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.

Do not store flammable materials near the cooktop.

Keep the hood and grease filters clean to maintain good venting and to avoid grease fires.

Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any appliance.

Clean only parts listed in this Owner’s Manual.

Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils or food on the cooktop when not in use.

Keep cooktop clean and free of accumulation of grease or spillovers which may ignite.

Never heat unopened food containers. Pressure buildup may make container burst and cause injury.

Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings on or near your cooktop.

READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.

How to Set

Push the knob in and turn in either direction to the setting you want.

At both OFF and HI the control clicks into position. You may hear slight clicking sounds during cooking, indicating the control is keeping the power level you set.

The control must be pushed in to set only from the OFF position. When the control is in any position other than OFF, it may be rotated without pushing it in.

If boiling water, for more efficient use, turn the knob to HI to bring it to a boil faster. After the water has come to a boil, reduce the knob setting to medium-high. The heat will still be great enough to maintain a boil, but you will be using less energy.

An indicator light will glow when any surface unit is on.

Be sure you turn the control knob to OFF when you finish cooking.

Wok Cooking

We recommend that you use only a flat-bottomed wok. They are available at your local retail store.

Do not use woks that have support rings. Use of these types of woks, with or without the ring in place, can be dangerous.

Use only flat-bottomed woks.

Placing the ring over the surface unit will cause a buildup of heat that will damage the porcelain cooktop. Do not try to use such woks without the ring. You could be seriously burned if the wok tipped over.

Deep Fat Frying

Foods for frying should be as dry as possible. Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over the sides of the pan.

Installation Instructions

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

ATTENTION: All electric cooktops must be hard wired (direct wired) into an approved junction box. A plug and receptacle is not permitted for these products.

We recommend you have the electrical wiring and hookup of your cooktop done by a qualified electrician. After installation, have the electrician show you where your main disconnect is located.

Check with your local utilities for electrical codes which apply in your area. Failure to wire your cooktop according to governing codes could result in a hazardous condition. If there are no local codes, your cooktop must be wired and fused to meet the requirements of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70 Latest Edition. You can get

a copy by writing:

National Fire Protection Association Batterymarch Park

Quincy, MA 02269

You should use a single phase, three wire 240/120 Volt, 60 Hertz electrical power system. If aluminum wiring is used, all connections MUST be listed for use with aluminum and copper wiring. It is strongly recommended that if aluminum wiring is used, the special terminal grease for use with aluminum wiring, preferably with “grit”, is put into the connection to keep it from corroding over time.

At a minimum, the National Electrical Code wire sizing in Section 310 should be followed. It is further recommended that No. 8 AWG copper (or No. 6 AWG aluminum) wire or larger if required, protected with either a double pole 40 Ampere circuit breaker or two 40 Ampere fuses, be used to supply power to the cooktop.

See the section on Electrical Connections for detailed instructions on hookup of your cooktop.

PRODUCT DIMENSIONS

AND CLEARANCES

This cooktop cannot be installed in countertops that cannot accept screws, such as granite or marble, etc. Counter space must be provided for installation of the cooktop. To insure accuracy, it is best to make a template when cutting the opening in the counter. See illustration below for all necessary dimensions.

When choosing a location, the following minimum clearances must be maintained between the cooktop and adjacent combustible surfaces:

30(76.2 cm) minimum vertical clearance from the cooktop to the nearest overhead surface.

Installation Instructions

1 PREPARATION

Before installing the cooktop or moving it to another location, have the electrician verify:

That your home is provided with adequate electrical service.

That the addition of the cooktop will not overload the household circuit on which it is used.

2 INSTALL THE JUNCTION BOX

Install an approved junction box where it will be easily accessible through the front of the cabinet where cooktop will be located. See the illustration at right for the suggested mounting location.

Junction

Tub box

3 INSTALL THE COOKTOP

Install the cooktop in the cutout opening.

NOTE: If the cooktop is being installed in a blind counter (one with no cabinet opening below), wire connections must be made before putting the cooktop into the cutout.

Maintain 5(12.7 cm) minimum vertical clearance between the cooktop bottom and any combustible surfaces.

5″ (12.7 cm) Min. Vertical Clearance

4 SECURE THE COOKTOP

Secure the tub of the cooktop to a standard counter with the wood screws shipped with the cooktop.

Secure the tub of the cooktop to a tile counter with 4 masonry screws. These can be purchased at any hardware store.

5 MAKE ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

WARNING

The electrical power to the cooktop supply line must be shut off while line connections are being made. Failure to do so could result in serious injury or death.

When making the wire connections, use the entire length of conduit provided (3 feet). The conduit must not be cut.

Connect the red and black leads from the cooktop conduit to the corresponding leads in the junction box.

The power leads supplied with this appliance are UL recognized for connection to larger gauge household wiring. The insulation of the leads is rated at much higher temperatures than the temperature rating of household wiring. The current carrying capacity of the conductor is governed by the wire gauge and also the temperature rating of the insulation around the wire.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

The bare ground wire in the conduit is connected to the cooktop frame.

When connecting to a 3 conductor branch circuit, if local codes permit, connect the bare ground connector lead

of the cooktop to the branch circuit neutral (gray or white in color).

Effective January 1, 1996, the National Electrical Code requires that new construction use a (4) conductor connection and will not permit grounding through neutral. If used in new construction after January 1, 1996, in a mobile home or recreational vehicle, or if local codes do not permit grounding through the neutral white lead, do the following:

Attach the appliance grounding lead (green or bare copper) to the residence grounding conductor (green or bare copper) in accordance with local codes.

MODEL AND SERIAL NUMBER LOCATION

You can find them on a nameplate label under the cooktop.
