SAFETYPRECAUTIONS

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

ge.COl_

Be sure your appliance is properly installed

and grounded by a qualified technician

in accordance with local codes and 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 aloneichildren 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 cooktopichildren climbing on the

cooktop to reach items could be seriously

injured.

Always keep combustible wall coverings,
curtains or drapes a safe distance from

your cooktop.

Always keep dish towels, dishcloths, 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.

Foryour safety, neveruse 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.

,ikWARNING!

PRECAUTIONS

iiiiiiiliiii!

Do not let cooking grease or other

flammable materials accumulate on
the cooktop.

iiiiiiiliiii!

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.

iiiiiiiliiii!

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.

iiiiiiiliiii!

Always turn the surface unit control to off

before removing the cookware.

iiiiiiiiiiii!

Use proper pan sizeJSelect 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.

iiiiiiiliiii!

Never leave surface units unattended at high

heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and
greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.

iiiiiiiliiii!

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.

iiiiiiiliiii!

Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or

medium high heat settings.

iiiiiiiliiii!

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 deep-fat
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 vent grille 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.

Ingeneral,the useofflexible ducting is discouraged because

itcan cause severelurestricted airflow. However,ifthe

bloweroutlet and the floor or wall duct location do NOTalign
well,then flexible METALductingcan be usedto adapt to an

NOTE:

• Do not exceedthe maximum recommended offset of 6".

• Do not allow the flexible ducting to kink or collapse.

• Do stretch the flexible ducting as much as possibleto

EXHAUSTBLOWER RATINGS

EXHAUST BLOWER SAFETY WARNING

Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of
other fuel burning equipment to prevent buck drafting. Follow the heating equipment manufacturer's
guidelines and safety standards such us those published by the National Fire Protection Association

(NFPA),the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE)and

local code authorities.

NOTE:The exhaust blower output is upproximutelg 400 CFM (cubic feet per minute) without

ductwork. Each installation is different and ductwork affects blower output uccordinglg. Actual

blower exhaust CFM can be approximated using the graph below.

Step 1: Calculate the "equivalent duct length" using the "DUCTWORKCALCULATIONS"table in

these instructions for your installation.

Step 2: Find the approximate intersection point of the blower exhaust performance curve with

the equivalent duct length to estimate the actual maximum blower output for your
installation.

Exomples: 50 equivalent feet of ductwork has approximately 320 CFM.

100 equivalent feet of ductwork has upproximutelg 265 CFM.

[] INSTALLING THE DUCTWORK

Use galvanized or aluminum duct in 6" round or
31/4"x 10" size, or a combination of both.

PVC duct should be used if installing under a poured
concrete slab.

NOTE: Local building code must be followed in
specifying approved type and schedule of ALL

duct used.

Always use an appropriate roof or wall cap with
damper. Laundry-type wall caps should NEVER

be used.

Through CabinetToe Space

DownwardVenting

Install ductwork, making male-female connections
in the direction of airflow as shown. Secure all joints
with sheet metal screws and duct tape to assure an
airtight seal.

Use the shortest and straightest duct run possible.
