IMPORT~ SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read all instructions before using this appliance.

IMPORTM SAFETY NOTICE . The

CaliforniaSafe Drinking Waterand Toxic

EnforcementAct requires the Governorof

Californiato publish a list of substancesknown to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductiveh- and requires businessesto warn customersof potential exposure to such substances.

● Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to

four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon monoxide, fommldehyde and SOOLcaused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or LP fuels. Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized further by venting with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood.

These steps should control the flame until it

eventually goes out. If it does not, cover the entire grill module with a cookie sheet or the lid from a large roasting pan. Use a potholder to remove this later because it will be hot.

QDo not touch the surface units. Thesesurfaces

may be hot enough to bum 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, cooktop surfaces or

areas nearby the surface units. Allow sufficient

time for cooling of the cooking surfaces.

Halogen/Radiant Surface Units and Gas Burners

● Use proper pan siz*This cooktop system has

components equipped with electric surface units

or gas burners. Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the selected surface

unit or burner. The use of undersized cookware

will expose portions of the surface units or

gas burners to direct contact and may result in

ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of

cookware to the surface unit or the burner will

also improve efficiency.

● Only certain types of giass?glass/cerami~

earthenware or other glazed containers are

suitable for cooktop service; others may break

because of the sudden change in temperature.

s Never leave the surface units or gas burners

unattended at high heat settings. Boilovers

cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may

catch fire.

● Tominimize the possibility of bums, ignition

of flammable materials and spillage, the handles

of cookware should be turned without extending

over nearby surface units or burners.

. Always ~rn the electric surface

burner controls off (0) before removing the cookware.

gWatch foods being ffied at high or medium-

high heat settings.

cWhen flaming foods are under the exhaust

IMPORT~ SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

(continued)

● Use little fat for effective shallow or deep-fat

frying. Filling the pan too fill 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.

● Be surethe downdraftvent grille is not covered.

Be sure the filter is in place. Its absence during cooking could damage blower parts.

● Do not cover or block the area around the

cooktop system knobs. This area must be

kept clear for proper ventilation and burner performance.

. Keep all plastics away from cooktop surface

units and burners.

● Do not operate the halogenkadiant surface

units if the glass is broken. Spillovers or cleaning solution may penetrate a broken cooktop and create a risk of electrical shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately should your glass cooktop become broken.

. Avoid scratching the glass cooktop surface.

Thecooktop can be scratched with items such

as sharp instruments, rings or otherjewelry and rivets on clothing.

● Never use the glass cooktop surface as a

cutting board.

● Do not place or store items on top of the glass

cooktop surface when it is not in USA

● Do not stand on the glass cooktop.

. Be carefid when placing spoons or other

stirring utensils on the glass cooktop surface

when it is in use. They may become hot and could cause bums.

. After cleaning, use a dry cloth or paper towel to

remove all Cook Top Cleaning Creme residue.

. Read and follow all instruction and warnings

on Cook TopCleaning Creme labels.

● Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet sponge

or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot surface unit, be careful to avoid steam bums. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.

When the cooktop is cool, use only Cook Top Cleaning Creme brand cleaner to clean the Cooktop.

QDo not use a wok on the gas burners if the wok

has a round metal ring which is placed over the burner grate to support the wok. This ring acts

as a heat trap that may damage the burner grate and burner head. Also, it may cause the burner to work improperly. This may cause a carbon monoxide level above that allowed by current standards, resulting in a health hazard.

. If you smell gas, turn off the gas to the cooktop

at the gas cutoff valve and call a qualified service technician. Never use an open flame to locate a leak.

. Do not operate the gas burners without all

burner parts and grate in place.

● Let the gas burner grate and other surfaces

cool before touching them.

● Do not leave grate removed from any

component where children can reach them.

● Never leave gas burners unattended at high

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

● For your safety, never use your gas burners for

warming or heating the room. Prolonged use of the cooktop in this way can be hazardous.

● Use care when touching the cooktop. Theglass

surface of the cooktop will retain heat after the controls have been turned off.

● Toavoid possible damage to the cooking

surface, do not apply Cook Top Cleaning Creme to the glass surface when it is hot.

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT COMPONENTS

Components available are briefly discussed on this page. You may only have some installed in your kitchen. All components are permanently installed with the exception of the grill and griddle.

Read each component section for specific instructions.

Care of Components

Some of the components must be cured or preconditioned before using them for the first time.

Components and accessories should be cleaned after each use. The longer a soil remains, the harder it is to clean. See each component section in the Care and Cleaning section for specific instructions.

Electric Surface Unit Components

You must consider heat up and cool down times for the surface units when determining cooking times. Heat up and cool down times depend on initial temperature settings, the type of cookware used and the amount of food being cooked.

Start cooking at a higher setting to heat the surface unit faster, then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking. Remember, cooking continues after the

surface unit is turned off, so train yourself to turn the heat down or off before cooking is done.

Downdraft Vent

Never immerse any electric surface unit or plug in water.

Gas Components

Monogram component gas cooktops (used with either updraft or downdraft venting) are designed to operate on natural gas at 4“ water column pressure.

The downdraft vent component features an integral variable-speed blower control switch and a powerful centrifugal blower.

HOW DOES THISCOOKTOP COMPARE

TO YOUR OLD ONE?

Your new cooktop may have one of several types of cooking surface units. You will notice some differences when you use each one.

The best types of cookware to use, plus heat-up and cool-down times, depend upon the type of burner or surface unit you have.

R@~ or sealed

gas burners use either LP gas

ornaturalgas.

How it Works

Heats by direct contact with the pan and by heating the air under the pan. For best cooking results, use good quality pans. Electric coils are more forgiving of warped pans than halogenhadiant or solid disks. Heats up quickly but does not change heat settings as quickly as gas or induction. Electric coils stay hot enough to continue cooking for a short time after they are turned off.

Heat travels to the glass surface and then to the cookware, so pans must be flat on the bottom for good cooking results. The glass cooktop stays hot enough to continue cooking long after it is turned off. Remove the pan from the surface unit if you want cooking to stop.

Pans must be made of ferrous metals (metal that attracts a magnet). Heat is

produced by a magnetic circuit between the coil and the pan. Heats up right away and changes heat settings right away, like a gas cooktop. After turning the control off, the glass cooktop is hot from the heat of the pan, but cooking stops right away.

Heats by direct contact with the pti, so pans must be cooking results. Heats up and cools down more slowly than electric coils. The disk stays hot enough to continue cooking after it is turned off. Remove the pan from the solid disk if you want the cooking to stop.

Flames heat the pans directly. Pan flatness is not critical to cooking results, but pans should be weli baianced. Gas burners heat the pan right away and change heat settings right away. When you turn the control off, cooking stops right away.

The following chart differences between type of cooktop you

will help you to understand the your new cooktop and any other

may have used in the past.

flat on the bottom for good

HALOGEN/RADIANT SURFACE UNITCONTROLS

Halogen Surface Unit

The controls selected for the halogenhadiant component will give you a full range of heat settings for cooking.

The control knobs must be pushed down to turn from the off (0) position. When the control knobs are in any position other than off(0), they may be turned without pushing down.

You may notice that the knob that operates the halogen surface unit is slightly harder to turn than the knob for the radiant surface unit. This is due to the difference in design between the two controls.

NOTE:

. The lowest three settings will produce no visible

evidence of the surface unit being on although up to 11%of the total wattage is being generated. On the lowest settings, the percentage of power may

not cause the hot surface lights to light. An indicator

light near the control knobs will glow when either

surface unit is on.

● The burner “on” light will glow for all positions

except the off position.

The eleven position halogen control produces the following variation in cooking power.

Radiant Surface Unit

The control for the radiant surface unit is an infinite

switch that can be set anywhere between LO and HI for an unlimited number of heat settings.Wxth the infinite switch the coil cycles on and off to maintain your selected control setting.

The control knobs must be pushed down to turn from the off (0) position. When the control knobs are in any position other than off(0), they may be turned without pushing down.

Be sureyou turnthe conrol knob off(0) when

you finish cooking. You will feel a “click” at the off position.

If the halogen/radiant component is connected to 208 volts, you will notice some increase in cooking times.

GAS BURNER CONTROLS

See the Gas Burner Component section. The gas burnercontrols must tum counterclockwise

to the LITE position to ignite the burner. Once the burner is ignited, turn the control knob

counterclockwise to adjustthe flame lower. A sparking sound caused by the igniter is normal until ignition occurs.

The burners will relight at any setting. However, for the burners to light quickly and consistently when the

gas is turned on, the knobs should be turned to the

LITE position until ignition occurs. When turning the control knob to off (0), turn

it clockwise.

GRILL/GRIDDLECONTROLS

See both the Grill Component and the Griddle Accessory sections. Also see the Grill Cooking and the Griddle Cooking Guides.

Most cooking on the ~till or griddle is done at the HI setting. See the Grill Component section regarding flame-ups and the control settings for this emergency.

Eachhalf of the grill component is controlled separately.

The controlknob labeled GRIDDLE controlsthe entiregriddle accessory.

The GRILIJGRIDDLE controls turn either direction to adjustthe heat setting.

VENT SYSTEM CONTROL

To operate the vent system manually, turn the knob on the control panel clockwise to the desired blower speed.

Use the control knob at the front of the vent ~tille to adjust the blower speed. The control knob may be in a custom location in the counter cabinet front. A HI setting is recommended when flame-ups occur while cooking on the ~till.

The downdraft blower adjacent to the till comes on automatically when the ~till is turned on. It turns off automatically when the ~till or ~tiddle is turned off (0).

If the blower speed is adjusted while ~tilling,

the blower will not turn off automatically and must be turned off manually.

When a surface unit is turned on, coils beneath the

surface unit radiate heat through the glass to the cookware. The red glow of the coils will be visible through the glass. It will take the surface unit a few moments to heat up. The coil cycles on and off to maintain your selected control setting. Wkh poor cookware, you will see frequent cycling of the unit off and on. Good, flat cookware will minimize the cycling.

Use only flat-bottomed cookware. Do not let pots boil dry. Overheated metal can bond to glass cooktop. An overheated copper pot will leave a residue that will permanently stain the glass.

Avoid sliding pans on the glass cooktop. Pan edges that are even slightly rough or ~tit on the cooktop can cause scratches on the glass.

Even after the surface units are turned off, the glass ceramic cooktop retains enough heat to continue cooking. To avoid overcooking, remove pans from the surface units when the food is cooked. Avoid placing anything on the surface unit until it has cooled completely.

Differences Between Halogen and Radiant Units

Some cooktops have both radiant and halogen surface

units. This is how they differ.

● Halogen units are much brighter thantheradiant

units. Radiantunits have a dull red glow.

● Halogen and radiant units cycle on and off

frequently. This is normal. You will notice the cycling more on the halogen units because of

their brightness.

. Halogen units have radiant coils in

the center that do not glow as brightly as the outer halogen coils.

cRadiant coils take about 10 seconds longer to glow

than halogen units.

(continued next page)

HALOGEN/R.ADIA.NTCOMPONENT

Vpes of Cookware

The following information will help you choose

cookware which will give good performance.

Stainless Steel: highly recommended

Especially good with a sandwich clad bottom. The sandwich bottom combines the benefits of stainless steel (appearance, durability and stability) with the advantages of aluminum or copper (heat conduction, even heat distribution).

Aluminum: heavy weight recommended

Good conductivity. Aluminum residues sometimes appear as scratches on the cooktop, but can be removed if cleaned immediately. Because of its low melting point, thin weight aluminum should not be used.

Porcelain/Enamel:

Good performance only with a thick, flat, smooth

bottom. Avoid boiling dry, as porcelain can melt and fise to the surface.

(continued)

Copper Bottom: heavy weight recommended

Good performance, but copper may leave residues which can appear as scratches. The residues can be removed, as long as the cooktop is cleaned immediately. However, do not let these pots boil dry.

Overheated metal can bond to glass cooktops. An overheated copper pot will leave a residue that will permanently stain the cooktop.

Glass-ceramic: not recommended

Poor performance. May scratch the surface. Usable, but not recommended.

Stoneware: not recommended

Poor performance. May scratch the surface. Usable, but not recommended.

Cast Iron: not recommended

Poor performance. May scratch the surface. Usable, but not recommended.

How to Check Pan Performance

Use of correct cookware can affect the cooking performance and cleaning of your cooktop.

The correct cookware reduces the temperature of the cooktop surface and minimizes the chance of spillovers burning onto the cooktop.

You must use pans with perfectly flat bottoms.

Some pans may have curved or rounded bottoms or may be warped. If you are unsure of the flatness of

your pans you may do this quick test. Turn your pan upside

down on the countertop, place a ruler flat against the pan surface. The bottom of the pan and the straight edge of the ruler should fit flush against each other all the way across. Turn the ruler a full 360 degrees, checking for any space between the ruler and the bottom of the pan.

‘L- CF ‘a-

Pans with rounded, curved, ridged or warped bottoms are not recommended.

Another simple test to determine even heat distribution across the cookware bottom is to put one inch of water in the pan. Bring the water to a boil and observe the

location of bubbles as the water starts to boil. Good flat cookware will have an even distribution of bubbles over the bottom surface area of the pan. Bubbles localized in only a portion of the bottom indicate uneven contact of the pan to the surface unit, uneven heat transfer or an unsuitable pan.

Use pans that match the diameterof the surface unit. Cooking performance will not be as good if the cookware is either smaller or largerthan the surface unit.

● Place only @ pans on the

surface units. Do not place lids on the surface units,

particularly wet lids.

● Do not use woks that have

support rings. This type of wok will not heat on halogenhadiant surface units.

s We recommend that you use

only a flat-bottomed wok. They are available at your

local retail store. The bottom of the wok should have the same diameter as the surface unit to insure proper contact.

CAUTION

Never cook directly on the ● Do not slide cookware glass. Always use cookware.

● Some special cooking procedures require specific

cookware such as pressure cookers, deep fat fryers, etc. All cookware must have flat bottoms and be the correct size.

Canning cannot be done on the grill or griddle components.

Observe the Following Points in Canning

A.NNINGTIPS

1. Be sure the canner fits over the center of the

surface unit. If your range or its location does not aIlow the canner to be centered on the surface unit,

use smaller diameter pots for good canning results.

2. On the glass cooktop, flat bottomed canners must be used. Canners with flanged or rippled bottoms (often found in enamelware) don’t make good contact with the surface unit and take a long time to boil water.

3. When canning, use recipes andproceduresfrom reputablesources. Reliable recipes and procedures areavailable fromthe manufacturerof your canner; manufacturersof glass jars for canning, such as Ball and Kerr;andthe United States Departmentof

AgricultureExtension service.

4. Remember that canning is a process that generates l~ge amounts of steam. To avoid burns from steam

or heat, be careful when canning.

NOTE: If your house has low voltage, canning may

take longer than expected, even though directions have been carefully followed.

Flat-bottomed canners are required for glass cooktops.

The process time can be shortened by:

using a pressure canner, and

Safe canning requires that harmful microorganisms

are destroyed and that the jars are sealed

completely. When canning foods in a water-bath in processing time, you cannot can on any of canner,a gentle but steady boil must be maintained

for the required time. When canning foods in a pressure canner, the pressure must be maintained for the required time.

After you have adjusted the controls, it is very important to make sure the prescribed boil or pressure levels are maintained for the required time.

The glass cooktop surface units have temperature limiters that prevent the glass cooktop from getting too hot. If the bottom of your canner is not flat, the surface unit can overheat, triggering the temperature limiters to turn the unit off for a time. This will stop the boil or reduce the pressure in the canner.

Since you must make sure to process the canning

jars for the prescribed time, with no interruption

the cooktop surface units if your canner is not

flat enough.

What is a Temperature Limiter?

Every halogen and radiant surface unit has a

Temperature Limiter. The Temperature Limiter

protects the glass-ceramic surface from getting too hot.

The Temperature Limiter may turn off the elements ifi

● The pan boils dry.

. The pan bottom is not flat. . The pan is off center.

● There is no pan on the unit.

USINGYOUR GAS BURNER COMPONENT

The ZGW124 and ZGW125 gas cooktops are not convertible to LP gas. They are designed to operate on natural gas only.

This component has one large 1O,5OO-BTUburner and one smaller

6,000-BTU burner.

When a downdraft vent is used next to a gas component, food will cook faster if you use a low vent setting and keep the pan covered (if recipe allows).

Automatic Ignition

Both burners on this gas cooktop component are lighted by electric ignition that eliminates the need for standing pilot lights.

All the igniters make sparking sounds and spark even when only a single burner is being turned on. Do not touch any of the burners when the igniters are sparking.

Power Outage

In case of a power outage, you can light the surface

burners on your cooktop with a match. Holding a lighted match to the burner, turn the knob to the LO

position. If the knob setting is toward HI, the flame

flare-up could bum your hand. Use extreme caution

when lighting burners manually. Cookware should

not be in place over the burner when lighting a burner

this way.

Auto Relight

The burners on this gas cooktop automatically relight if the flame goes out. This helps prevent the inconvenience of manually having to relight a burner. As with automatic ignition, all of the burner igniters spark while a burner is relighting. Do not touch any of the burners when the igniters are sparking.

The burners will relight at any setting. However, for the burners to light quickly and consistently when the gas is turned on, the knobs should be turned to the

LITE position until ignition occurs.

Surface burners in use when an electrical power failure occurs will continue to operate normally.

To Light a Burner

Push the control knob in and turn it counterclockwise to the desired Dosition.

The burner ignites automatically. Turn

the knob either direction to adjust the flame size.

To turn a burner off, turn the knob

counterclockwise as far as it will go, to the off (0) position.

\~’;/~,~~,

cThe front burner is best for smaller pans and

cooking operations requiring carefully controlled

simmering conditions. The rear burner is the high power burner for larger pans and fast boiling operations.

● Do not operate a burner for an extended period

of time without cookware on the grate. The finish on the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat.

. Check to be sure the burner you turned on is the one

you want to use.

. Be sure the burners and grates are cool before you

place your hand, a pot holder, cleaning cloths or other materials on them.

USINGYOUR GAS BURNER COMPONENT

How to Select Flame Size

Watch the flame, not the knob, as you reduce heat. The flame size on a gas burner should match the

cookware you are using. FOR SAFE HANDLING OF COOKWARE, NEVER

LET THE FLAME EXTEND UP THE SIDES OF THE COOKWARE. Any flame larger than the bottom of the cookware is wasted heat and only serves to heat the handle.

Cookware

(continued)

Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is

recommended because it heats quickly and evenly. Most foods brown evenly in an aluminum skillet. Use saucepans with tight-fitting lids for cooking with minimum amounts of water.

Cast Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets will give

satisfactory results.

Enamelware: Under some conditions, the enamel of

some cookware may melt. Follow cookware manufacturer’s recommendations for cooking methods.

Glass: There are 2 types of glass cookware-those

for oven use only and those for surface cooking (saucepans, coffee and teapots). Glass conducts heat very slowly.

Wok Cooking

Werecommend that you use only a flatbottomed wok. They are available at your local retail store.

Heatproof Glass Ceramic: Can be used for

either surface or oven cooking. It conducts heat very slowly and cools very slowly. Check cookware manufacturer’s directions to be sure it can be used on gas cooktops.

Stainless Steel: This metal alone has poor heating properties,and is usually combined with copper, aluminumor othermetals for improved heat distribution.Combinationmetal skillets generally work satisfactorilyif they are used at medium heat

as the manufacturer recommends.

Do not use woks that have support rings. Use of these types of woks,

with or without the ring in place, can be dangerous. Placing the ring over the bume{grate may cause the burner to work improperly resultin~ in carbon monoxide levels above allowable current &mdards. This could be dangerous to your health. Do not try to use such woks without the ring. You could be seriously burned if the wok tipped over.

Stove Top Grills

Do not use stove top grills on your sealed gas burners. If you use the stove top grill on the sealed gas burner it will cause incomplete combustion and can result in exposure to carbon monoxide levels above allowable current standards. This can be hazardous to your health.

Burner Assembly

CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE THE BURNER WITHOUT ALL BURNER PARTS CORRECTLY IN PLACE.

The burner assemblies should be

washed regularly and, of course,

afier spillovers. Turn all the controls off and wait

until all component parts are cool before removing burner parts.

See the Care and Cleaning section.

See the Grill Cooking Guide

NOTE: The grill grate must be preconditioned before

using it the first time. To precondition, first wash it in soap and water and dry. Then use a paper towel to apply a small amount of no-stick cooking spray to the grate. Remove excess with a clean paper towel.

Use the grill for preparing meals with the appearance and flavor of commercially char-broiled meats. The OriHmust be very hot for this type of cooking and

smoke and spatter is to be expected.

Be sure to use your venting system when grilling to help minimize smoke. You should have either a

component downdraft vent installed into the cooktop

system or a high-capacity vent hood.

The grill must be preheated to get the ~till components hot enough to sear the meat and seal in the juices. Preheat the grill on HI for 10 minutes. See the Grill Cooking Guide.

The grill element is divided so the front and rear sections are controlled separately. You can heat

both sections to the same temperature for cooking large amounts of the same food, or you can VaIYthe temperatures on front and rear for cooking two different foods. Also, you can save energy when cooking small amounts of food by turning only one section on and leaving the other off entirely.

What to do if a Flame-Up Occurs

(continued)

To control flame-ups, set heat setting at LO, rather

than off (0). If you have a bad flame-up and there is danger of the fire spreading, take the following steps immediately:

1. Turn the grill controls to off (0), and turn the

downdraft vent control to HI. If you are using an

overhead updraft vent hood, turn it off until the flame-up stops.

2. Use a long-handled utensil to remove the food from the grill. Be careful not to get burned.

The fire should start to go out. If it does not, smother

theflames by covering theentire grill with a large

cookie sheet, the lid from a large roastingpan or thegriddle.

NOTE: c NEVER USE WATER ON A GREASE FIRE.

Water will spread the flames.

QNever line the grill grate or the porcelain enamel

grease well with aluminum foil. Doing so may block drainageof grease,causing excessive smoking, fire or component damage.

● It is recommended that you have a dry chemical,

foam or Halon type fire extinguisher where you can easily reach it in case of a cooking fire.

● Never try to use charcoal or flavored wood chips

in the well under the grill grate. Use of charcoal indoors without proper ventilation produces carbon monoxide that can be fatal. Also, burning charcoal in the well will permanently damage the porcelain coating in the well.

c NEVER LEAVE THE KITCHEN while grilling

meats or other juicy foods. Fats and juices drip on the hot grill element and may cause flame-ups. When grilling, you should always be present to control flame-ups so they do not get out of hand.

How to Assemble the Grill Module

To insert the grill:

1. Be sure both the controls for the grill are OFF.

2. Place the drip pan in the ~wase well first as shown in the illustration in this section.

3. Grasp the till element with both hands near the plug. Keeping the element as nearly horizontal as possible, push the plug firmly into the electrical receptacles, to insure complete contact. The element

should lie flat and rest on the ridges of the drip pan.

4. Place the grill grate into the opening in the cooktop

over the ~till element.

5. Be certain the grease jar is clean and firmly secured in the tube and lid assembly under the porcelain enamel grease well.

Grill Tips

. Do not leave grill unattended while it is in use.

“Use the ~gill ONLY with the downdraft vent blower

on HI to carry away smoke and fumes.

. Remove accumulated grease from the non-

removable grease well after each use to lessen

smoking and odors. Be sure opening to grease tube

is clean. Grease buildup can become a fire hazard.

● Make sure the removable grease collector jar and

drip pan are clean and in place before using the grill.

QRemove ~~easefrom the grease collector jar after

each use to avoid spillovers.

cThe grates should be oiled or sprayed with a non-

stick coating before cooking to prevent sticking. Remove the grate before spraying and spray only while cool. Spraying directly onto a hot grill may cause a fire.

Questions and Answers

Q. When cooking many individual foods, what can

I do to insure that foods will cook evenly?

A. When cooking foods of various sizes and

thicknesses, start larger or thicker pieces first and add quicker-cooking smaller pieces later. Press meat lightly to lie flat on grill. Slash the fat on edges of steaks and chops to prevent curling. Break the joints of split chickens so they will lie flat.

Q. My grilled meats sometimes come out drier than

they should. What can I do to help prevent this?

A. Season meats after cooking rather than

before—salt can draw out juices and dry out meat. Use tongs to turn and reamange meats on the grill; forks will pierce the meat and release juices.

. Preheat the grill for 10 minutes at HI heat setting,

then turn to the desired setting for cooking.

● Trim the fat from meat before placing on the ~grill.

This will reduce smoking and lessen grease buildup in the drip pan, grease well and grease jar.

● Allow space between foods when placing them on

the grill. Air and heat need to circulate around the food for best cooking results.

. Occasionally rearrange foods on the grill to prevent

sticking and provide better browning.

. A griddle accessory can be purchased from

your dealer to utilize the ~grillcomponent’s griddle capacity.

Q. I follow the cooking times suggested, but my

foods don’t get done properly. Is there something wrong with my grill?

A. Probably not. Suggested cooking times should be

used only as a general guide. Variables in food can change the cooking times required.

Q. How can I keep barbecued meats from

developing an unattractive burned look and taste?

A. Sauces containing sugar will often bum if used

during the entire cooking time. If your favorite sauce contains sugar, try adding it only during the last 15 to 20 minutes of cooking time for best results.

Q. Foods cooked on my grill are not browning as

much as I would like. What could cause this?

A. A longer preheating and ~till time maybe

necessary to achieve the desired results.

GRILL COOKING GUIDE

Do not leave the cooktop unattended during

“preheat>>(knobs turned to ‘W.P7)or anytime the

knobs are turned to “HI” with food on the grill or griddle. Most foods will be grilled on the HI setting.

QPreheat at the HI setting for 10 minutes before

grilling. Change the heat setting as advised in your cookbook for the food you are ~tilling.

. Before cooking steaks, slash the fat around

the edges to prevent curling of the meat.

. Suggested cooking times should be used only

as a guide, since variables in food can change the cooking times.

. Foods should be turned over and rearranged

as needed.

QTrim the excess fat from the meat.

GRIDDLE ACCESSORY

See the Griddle Cooking Guide.

Your non-stick coated griddle provides an extralarge cooking surface for meats, pancakes or other foods usually prepared in a frying pan or electric skillet.

You can also use the griddle as a warming tray

by using a low-heat setting.

megriddle has its own integal cooking element- The

control marked GRIDDLE changes the temperature

over the entire surface.

How to Assemble the Griddle Accessory

The griddle accessory will ordinarily share the grill component cooktop.

1. Be sure the controls are off (0).

2. Grasp the grill element with both hands near the plug. Keeping the element as nearly horizontal as

possible, pull the element out of the receptacle.

3. Remove the porcelaindrippan.

Using the Griddle

The non-stick griddle must be preconditioned before using it the first time. To precondition, first

wash the ~tiddle in soap and water, and dry. Then apply a small amount of no-stick cooking spray to the griddle. Remove excess with a clean paper towel.

Preheat the griddle as recommended in the Griddle Cooking Guide. After preheating for the recommended amount of time, apply a small amount of cooking oil or butter.

How to Remove the Griddle

4. Place the ~giddle into the opening in the cooktop while carefully inserting the electrical plug into the receptacle. See the illustration.

NOTE: When properly placed, the griddle sits

slightly above the cooktop. This, and the open spaces on the sides and rear of the griddle, help prevent excessive temperatures in the griddle.

Do not overheat the griddle. Leaving the griddle at

HI for more than 10 minutes without food can damage the non-stick coating.

When using the griddle, adjust the fan to a low setting in the downdraft vent system (or overhead

hood, if used).

Be sure the controls are off (0) and the griddle is cool.

To remove the griddle:

1. Lift the edge of the griddle slightly to let any excess

fat or oil flow into the drain holes. Wear a protective mitt or use a pot holder.

2. Remove the griddle, carefully separating the

element plug from the receptacle by raising the opposite side of the griddle just enough to clear the well and pulling it away from the receptacle.

Do not force the griddle too far upward when removing the plug.

Griddle Tips

GRIDDLE ACCESSORY

(continued)

● Condition or “season” griddle before first-time use.

● Most griddled foods are those that require cooking

on a preheated surface. The ~tiddle surface may be

Oreasedlightly before adding food. Preheat the

& griddle 5 minutes at HI heat setting, unless

otherwise indicated in the Griddle Cooking Guide, then switch to the recommended cook setting.

. Foods which are high in natural fat, such as bacon or

sausage, may be started on a cold ~tiddle.

● Foods to be warmed may be placed directly on the

griddle; a high-domed metal cover, such as an inverted metal mixing bowl, placed over them will help store the heat. Foods in covered dishes or pans may also be warmed on the griddle. Use heatresistant dishes only.

Questions and Answers

Q. How should I store my griddle when it is not

in use?

A. To avoid marring the non-stick finish, store griddle

upright on the edge with the terminals up to avoid damage. If it is necessary to store it flat, avoid placing other pans or cookware on top.

Q. Why aren’t my foods done even though they

have cooked the full time?

A. Preheat the griddle for a longer time and leave

foods on the griddle longer to attain the desired degree of browning.

Q. How long can foods be kept warm with the

griddle without losing their appeal?

A. No longer than 2 hours is recommended, to assure

good food quality and to prevent spoilage. Delicate foods, such as eggs, should not be kept more than

15 to 30 minutes; entrees and casseroles maybe

warmed for 30 to 60 minutes. Hors d’oeuvres will

stay hot for serving up to 1or 1!4 hours. Rearrange

or stir foods occasionally, if possible.

● Make sure the grease collector jar and drip pan are

clean before using the griddle.

● To preserve the finish, use only Teflon@ coated,

nylon or wooden spatulas and spoons. Never use the griddle surface as a cutting board.

. Over a period of time, minor scratches and some

discoloration may appear in the non-stick coating. This will not affect the cooking performance or the non-stick finish.

. Avoid using metal utensils with sharp points or

rough or sharp edges which might damage the non-stick coated griddle surface. Do not cut foods on the griddle.

Q. Do I need special cookware for use with

my griddle?

A. Avoid using metal cookware with sharp points or

rough or sharp edges which might damage the non-

stick-coated griddle surface. Do not cut foods on the ~tiddle. Use only heat-resistant dishes when foods in containers are to be warmed on the ~giddle. For further information on caring for your ~tiddle’s

surface, see the Care and Cleaning section.

Q. Can prolonged periods of high heat damage

my griddle% surface?

A. A brief preheating period is often necessary for

best results with many foods, but leaving the griddle on HI heat setting for more than 1()

minutes without food can damage the non-stick coating. Always be sure to turn control knobs to off (0) when cooking is completed.

GRIDDLE COOKING GUIDE

Do not leave the cooktop unattended during “preheat” (knobs turned to “HI”) or anytime the knobs are turned to “HI” with food on the griil or

griddle. Most foods will be cooked on the griddle on the HI setting. Some foods need to be cooked at lower settings.

. Avoid using metal utensils with sharp points or

rough or sharp edges which may damage the non-

stick coated griddle surface. Do not cut foods on the griddle. Use only heat-resistant dishes when foods in containers are to be warmed on the griddle.

CARE AND CLEANING

Proper care and cleaning are important so your

Component Cooktop System will give you efficient

and satisfactory service. Follow these directions

carefully to help assure safe and proper maintenance.

Care of Components

Some of the components must be cured or preconditioned before using them for the first time.

Brushed Stainless Steel Finish

Wash with soap and water. For heavy soils, first cover with a damp cloth and let soak 30 minutes. A stainless steel cleaner may be used.

To remove fingerprints, apply a little baby oil or cooking oil with a cloth or paper towel. Rub in the same direction as the brush marks in the stainless steel finish.

BE SURE ELECTRICAL POWER IS OFF BEFORE CLEANING ANY COMPONENTS.

Components and accessories should be cleaned

after each use. The longer a soil remains, the harder

it is to clean. See each component’s section in this guide for specific instructions.

Cleaning methods described above may prove ineffective. Stubborn baked-on food residue or stains on the stainless steel surfaces can be removed by using pad-type oven cleaners. For your safety, use

extreme caution. Oven cleaners are caustic and can

damage or discolor most other surfaces.

Do not use spray-type oven cleaners. Overspray will

damage nearby surfaces. Use newspaper and masking tape to cover surfaces such as back wall, control panel, range sides, countertop, etc. Remove gates, grill element, porcelain enamel drip pan or ~tiddle.

Control Panel and Knobs

Clean up any spills or spatters with a damp cloth. Remove heavier soil with warm, soapy water.

Clean the control panel with mild liquid dish detergent and a soft cloth. Rub the control panel

lightly.

CAUTION: Do not use abrasives of any kind

on the control panel.

The control knobs may be removed for easier cleaning.

To remove a knob, pull it straight off the stem. Wash the knobs in soap and water but do not soak.

Do not allow water to run down inside the surface of the panel while cleaning. After drying, return the knobs to the cooktop, making sure to match the flat area on the knob to the shaft.

Halogen/Radiant Cooktop—G1ass Ceramic Cooktop Cleaning

Cleaning of glass ceramic cooktops is different from cleaning a standard porcelain finish. To maintain and protect the surface of your new glass ceramic cooktop follow these basic steps.

Before you use the cooktop for the first time, clean it with Cook Top Cleaning Creme. This helps protect

the top and makes clean-up easier.

DAILY CLEANING: Use only Cook Top Cleaning Creme on Glass Ceramic.

For normal, light soil:

1. Rub a few drops (less is better) of Cook Top

Cleaning Creme onto soiled area using a damp

paper towel. Buff with a dry paper towel until all

soil and creme are removed. Frequent cleaning leaves a protective coating which is essential in

preventing scratches and abrasions.

2. Clean surface with Cook Top Cleaning Creme after each use.

For heavy, burned on soil:

1. Apply a few drops of Cook Top Cleaning Creme

to the (cool) soiled area.

2. Using a damp paper towel, rub creme into the burned on area. As with any burned on spill, this may require some effort.

3. Carefully scrape soil with razor scraper. Hold scraper at a 30° angle against the ceramic surface.

4. If any soil remains, repeat the steps listed above.

For additional protection, after all soil has been removed, polish the entire surface with the Cook Top Cleaning Creme.

5. Buff with a dry paper towel.

NOTE:

Using a razor scraper will not damage the surface if the 30° angle is maintained.

Be sure to use a new, sharp razor scraper. Do not use a dull or nicked blade.

Store the razor scraper out of reach of children.

SPECIAL CARE: Sugary spillovers (such as jellies,

fudge, candy syrups) or melted plastics can cause

pitting of the surface of your cooktop (not covered by the warranty) unless the spill is removed while still

hot. Special care should be taken when removing

hot substances. Follow these instructions carefully

and remove soil while spill is still hot.

1. Turn off all surface units affected by the spillover.

Remove hot pans.

2. Wearing an oven mitt, hold the razor scraper at a 30° angle to the

+,c$,~: .:-.

cooktop and scrape hot spill to a : “- ‘“” cool area outside the surface unit.

3. With the spill in a cool area use a dry paper towel to remove any excess. Any spillover remaining should be lefi until the surfaceof the cooktop has cooled. Do not continue to use the soiled surface unit until all of the spillover has been removed. Follow the steps under Heavy Soil to continue the cleaning process.

COOKTOP SEAL: To clean the cooktop seal, let a

wet cloth rest on it for a few minutes, then wipe clean.

Use a mild detergent if needed. Do not use a knife or any

sharp object on the seal because it will cut or damage it.

GENERAL INFORMATION: As the Cook Top

Cleaning Creme cleans, it leaves a protective coating on the cooktop surface. This coating helps to prevent build-up of mineral deposits (water spots) and will make future cleaning easier. Dishwashing detergents remove this protective coating and therefore make the cooktop more susceptible to staining.

PRECAUTIONS

● Most cleaners contain ammonia, chemicals and

abrasives which can damage the surface of your

cooktop. Use only the Cook Top Cleaning Creme

for proper cleaning and protection of your glass ceramic surface.

● If you slide aluminum or copper cookware across

the surface of your cooktop, they may leave metal

markings which appear as scratches. If this should

happen, use the razor scraper and Cleaning Creme to remove these markings. Failure to remove these residues immediate y may leave permanent marks.

● Water stains (mineral deposits) are removable

using Cook Top Cleaning Creme or full strength white vinegar.

. Ifpots with a thin overlay of aluminum, copper or

enamel are allowed to boil dry, the overlay may bond with the glass ceramic and leave a black discoloration. This should be removed immediately before heating again or the discoloration may be permanent.

s Use of window cleaner may leave an iridescent

film on the cooktop. Cook Top Cleaning Creme will remove this discoloration.

Read and follow all instructions and warnings on Cook Top Cleaning Creme labels.

CARE AND CLEANING

Gas Burner Assembly

The burner assemblies should be washed regularly and after spillovers.

Turn all control knobs to the off (0) position before removing burner parts and the drip pan.

CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE THE BURNER WITHOUT ALL BURNER PARTS CORRECTLY IN PLACE. The electrode of the spark igniter is exposed when the burner cap is removed. Contact with an exposed igniter while a burner is being turned on will cause a slight electrical shock.

The burner grate, burner caps and burner support

rings can be Iifted off, making them easy to clean.

(The drip pan cannot be removed.) Wash burner parts

with an all-purpose, non-abrasive cleaner and warm water. Soak stubborn soil. Dry the burner assemblies with a cloth-don’t reassemble them wet.

To reassemble: Place the burner support ring onto the

burner bowl first. Before replacing the burner cap, first examine the four notches on its underside. One of the notches, shaped differently from the other three,

includes an indexing key for the spark igniter— this notch fits over the spark igniter. When replacing the burner grate, make sure the bottom of the burner

orate fits securely into a corresponding ridge in the arip pan.

Burner grates can be cleaned by hand or in a self-

cleaning oven. Althoughthe burnergrateis durable,it will ~qaduallylose its shine, regardlessof the careyou take of it. This is due to its exposure to the high temperatureof thegas flames.

To preserve the porcelain enamel finish as long as possible, have a pan on the grate before you turn on the burner, and lower the flame when food reaches the desired cooking temperature.

Grill Component

Clean the grill component after every use. Do not put the element into water. It cleans itself when heated during normal use. Toremove any charred soil, clean with a dry, stiff brush when the element is cool. Never

use steel wool or metal scouring pads because they

may damage the outer casing of the element.

Wash the grill grate in the sink in soap and water. The grate may be soaked in a solution of dishwasher detergent and hot water. Use a non-metal scouring pad if necessary. Do not use abrasive cleaning

products. The grill grate can also be cleaned in a

self-cleaning oven.

Griddle Accessory

After cooking a greasy food, wipe the non-stick

oriddle with a dry paper towel while it is still warm. fie careful not to bum your fingers. When the griddle is cool, wash it in the sink in soap and water. Use a non-metal scouring pad if necessary. Do not use

abrasive cleaning products. Do not wash in the dishwasher or in any way immerse the electrical plug and box.

From time to time, you should recondition the grate with no-stick cooking spray. See the Grill Component section.

Wash the porcelain enamel drip pan in the sink with

soap and water, or put it in the dishwasher. Soak

stubborn stains, then rub gently with a scouring pad.

Do not put the drip pan in the oven during a selfcleaning cycle. Doing so will cause discoloration

and damage the finish.

To prolong the life of the griddle, hold the plug box part of the griddle out of the water when cleaning.

From time to time, recondition the ~tiddle with no-stick cooking spray. See the Griddle Accessory section.

It is a good idea to store the griddle on one edge. If you lay it flat, pans or other cookware maybe put on top and scratch the non-stick coating.

Porcelain Enamel Grease Well

Porcelain enamel can crack or chip with misuse.

Itcan stain if spillovers of foods with a high acid careful not to get the electrical receptacles wet. Do

content (such as tomatoes or lemon juice) are not not try to fill the well with water when cleaning. Be cleaned up quickly. sure the drain hole and tube in the grease well are

When cleaning a porcelain enamel grease well, be

not clogged.

Grease Jars

On the underside of the grill cooktop component, a

crease jar is mounted to catch fat and drippings.

a The lid of the jar is permanently mounted to the

bottom of the cooktop component box. The lid is connected by a tube to a spout at the front of the grease well. The jar can be unscrewed from the lid to be emptied and cleaned or to be replaced. The jar is a standard 1-pint jar. Quart canning jars may also fit.

Do not use thin-walled glass or plastic jars, such

as those having contained food products. Such jars could fracture.

Different foods give different amounts of fat and drippings, so you should inspect the jar each time it is

used. If the jar is not emptied or replaced often enough, the fat and drippings may overflow. Be sure the drain hole and tube in the grease well are not clogged.

CARE AND CLEANING

(continued)

How to Clean the Vent System

The downdraft vent grille and filter should be cleaned frequently— the vent system, be sure exhaust blower is shut off.

To remove parts for cleaning:

1. Lift off the vent ~tille.

2. Rotatethe latch away from the solid edge of the filterto free the filter.Pull out thealuminum

greasefilter.

How to Clean the Vent Grille

To clean the vent ~tille, remove it from the cooktop by lifting it up. It can be cleaned by hand, in the dishwasher or in a self-cleaning oven.

after every use is best. Before cleaning

How to Clean the Filters

To clean the falter, soak, then agitate filter in hot

detergent solution prepared in the sink. Using ammonia

or other alkali will darken the metal. Light brushing can be used to remove embedded dirt. Be careful not to disturb the aluminum fabric of the filter body.

Rinse, shake and remove moisture before replacing. It is advised that filters should be cleaned afier every use.

Before replacing the filter into the vent system housing, inspect and wipe clean the housing walls. Do not allow grease accumulation to form.

Never operate the vent system without the filter

in place. In situations where flaming might occur, the filter will retard entry of flames into the exhaust blower.

To replace cleaned parts:

1. The round comers are the bottom edge of the

filter. Insert the filter into the vent shaft (round comers down) until the latch can be rotated to secure the filter.

2. Replace the vent grille.

THE PROBLEM SOL~R

PROBLEM

COMPONENTS ARE NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY

HALOGENRADIANT SURFACE UNITS WILL NOT MAINTAIN A ROLLING BOIL OR FRYING RATE IS NOT FAST ENOUGH

HALOGEN/RADIANT COOKTOP FEELS HOT

POSSIBLE CAUSE

● Difficulty may be in the main distribution panel of your house caused by a

blown circuit fuse, a tripped circuit breaker, the main fise or the main circuit breaker, depending on the nature of the power supply. If a circuit breaker is involved, reset it. If the control box uses fuses, the circuit fuse (a cartridge-type)

should be changed, BUT ONLY BY SOMEONE FAMILIAR WITH ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS. If, after performing one of these procedures, the fuse blows or circuit breaker trips again, call for semice.

NOTE: Apartment tenants or condominium owners should request their building

management perform this check before calling for service.

● Controls are not properly set or wrong control is set for the component or

surface unit you are using.

cEntire grill or griddle element is not plugged in properly. cConsider the possibility of interruption in gas or electric service from the

utility source.

cYou must use pans which are absolutely flat. If light can be seen between the

pan bottom and a straight edge, the halogenhadiant surface units will not transfer heat properly.

● Pan bottoms should closely match the diameter of the surface unit selected.

● The halogen/radiant cooktop may seem hotter than you are used to.

This is normal.

c Make sure flat-bottomed pans are used.

● Using the vent will help keep the halogenhadiant cooktop cooler.

Installation o@ons

The Monogram Component Cooktop System offers the ultimate in design and cooking flexibility, with modular cooktops and accessories, providing a variety of cooking technologies to meet the needs of the most discerning cook. “ Each component can be installed in many orientations

in the countertop.

“ Both gas and electric components can be combined

within the cooking configurations: – Multiple electric components can operate from a

single junction box, if local codes permit.

– Multiple gas components can operate from a

manifold, as permitted by local codes.

- Updraft components can be vented according to normal exhausting methods.

“ The downdraft grill or vent blower maybe oriented in

two directions—toward the rear or down as required. Blower can be mounted to left or right side of vent housing.

. Gas and halogen components are only 3-1 /4” deep,

allowing room for a drawer beneath in many cabinet styles.

. Optional Remote Control Accessory Kit for downdraft

vent component is available for use when remote control of blower is desired.

Installation

rules

Venting

ruzes

. Always choose cabinetry that enhances installation

process.

. Always anticipate that cabinet modification maybe

required for European or other custom cabinetry.

“ Always preplan electrical and gas connections to be

accessible at installation time.

. Always consider distance to power supply, cable

lengths and bending restrictions before cutting holes.

. Always preplan component locations before installa-

tion; determine need to reorient downdraft blower discharge direction, or if blower will need to be relocated to opposite side of vent housing. (Downdraft unit is shipped with blower mounted on left side of housing. )

“ Always consider how cooktop (and grease collection

jars) or downdraft vent housing affect cabinet type

selection (especially drawers).

. Always provide clearance for remote mount vent

control wiring box when installing on cabinet face between components, or other locations.

. Always anticipate base cabinet storage arrangements to .

accommodate downdraft blower and duct locations.

. Never vent a cooktop into an interior space–always

to outdoors.

. Do not install an updraft grill unless overhead vent

is 300 CFM or more.

“ Always consider option to shorten drawer for gas inlet

clearance. (To determine location of gas pipe, refer to cutout illustration in “Design Information, Dimensions and clearances. )

. Gas components cannot be converted to liquid

propane gas operation.

. If possible, don’t cut holes for remote mount vent

control and ductwork locations until components are on-site, with countertop in place, and all preplanning locations are confirmed.

. Every downdraft vent and downdraft grill cooktop

must have a complete, separate duct run. Ducts from different downdraft units cannot be combined.

. Do NOT install a downdraft vent behind a cooktop,

UNLESS you use accessory kit 3-AO1 Oto move the control to the front of the cabinet.

. Do NOT install a gas or grill cooktop where the knobs

are between the heated area and the downdraft vent. Do NOT install an updraft grill cooktop next to a downdraft vent.

Because the .Monogram Component Cooktop System . has a variety of cooking technologies adaptable to a . wide array of countertop configurations, multiple cooktops and downdraft vent units maybe utilized in . a single design project.

Call GE Answer Center 800.626.2000 any hour of the day or night, for venting problems unique to your kitchen project.

Select downward or horizontal venting. To convert blower for horizontal exhaust, remove four nuts inside housing which hold blower. Remove blower and rotate so exhaust faces rear of cooktop. Replace nuts.

Blower may be rotated slightly so exhaust duct will clear floor joist or other obstacle. To adjust blower position, loosen four nuts inside housing and rotate blower.

Use shortest and straightest duct route possible. For satisfactory performance, duct run should not exceed

100 feet equivalent length for any duct configurations.

to Roof

Plan route for venting exhaust to outdoors. Ductwork MUST be vented to outdoors—never to a crawl space, attic or other enclosed space. Duct should be located between floorjoists or wall studs, if possible.

Blower can be relocated to opposite side of downdraft

vent housing in order to maximize under-counter

space, or bypass a stud, joist, or other obstruction.

(Refer to Installation Section, “Relocate Blower”. )

Direct to Outdoors

Refer to “Duct fittings” chart in Ductwork section to compute maximum permissible lengths for duct runs to outdoors.

Tools and materials

required:

● Pipe and fittings as required.

● Manual gas-line shut-off

valve.

Monogram component gas cooktops (used with either updraft or downdraft venting) are designed to operate on natural gas at 4“ water column pressure. Cooktop is supplied with 3/8” NPT female gas connection at right rear corner for right hand control unit and left rear corner for left hand control unit. . Component gas cooktops cannot be converted to

liquid propane gas operation.

“ Make gas connection through rear wall, or on cabinet

floor at rear. For rigid connection: “ Locate pipe stub:

- 47/1 6“ from center line of cooking unit.

– on back wall at least 12” below counter or

– on floor 2-1/2” forward of back of counter cutout.

– Refer to cutout information for details on

countertop cutouts. For flexible connection: . Locate pipe stub on floor or back wall in a convenient

location.

. Install a manual shut-off valve in gas line in an easily

accessible location.

location

Tools and materials required:

● 120and 240 volt junction boxes.

● Electrical cable as required by local codes.

Monogram Halogen/Radiant, updraft grill and downdraft grill component cooktops operate on 208/240 volt 60 Hz; the gas component cooktops and downdraft vent component operate on 120 volt 60 Hz from a separate junction box. A dedicated circuit, protected by a time delay fuse or circuit breaker, is required for cooktops; the downdraft vent requires an appliance circuit with a time delay fuse or circuit breaker.

If local codes allow, more than one cooktop can be used on the same branch circuit.

See local codes or the National Electrical Code for circuit demand loads. The downdraft vent component features an integral variable-speed blower control switch.
