If you are installing the cooktop in a solid surface material such as granite, quartz or any other natural or synthetic solid surface, we recommend that the cutout be prepared by a professional cabinet or countertop installer.

Cooktop cutouts in wood or wood-laminate countertops may be able to be prepared using a saber saw and electric drill.

Installation Instructions

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

FOR YOUR 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 by 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.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

This appliance must be supplied with the proper voltage and frequency, and connected to an individual, properly grounded branch circuit, protected by a circuit breaker or a time delay fuse as noted on name plate and the chart below.

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

Wiring must conform to National Electrical Code. You can get a copy of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/ NFPA No. 70-Latest Edition, by writing to:

National Fire Protection Association

Batterymarch Park

Quincy, MA 02269

The cooktop conduit wiring is approved for copper wire connection only, and if you have aluminum house wiring, you must use special UL approved connectors for joining copper to aluminum.

You must use a two-wire, three conductor 208/240 VAC, 60 Hertz electrical system. A white (neutral) wire is not needed for this unit. The cooktop must be installed in a circuit that does not exceed 125 VAC nominal to ground.

Refer to the name plate on your cooktop for the KW rating for your cooktop.

Installing cooktop in combination

with other products.

Both products must be installed according to their specific product installation instructions. Consideration must be given the separate electrical requirements and locations:

Over one or two wall ovens:

• Only certain models may be installed over wall ovens. The wall oven and cooktop will both have a label stating which models are approved in combination.

Over a Microwave:

• See microwave installation instructions for how to install a microwave under a cooktop. For vertical dimension of cooktop, see Approximate Cooktop Dimensions section.

In combination with telescopic downdraft vent:

• See telescopic downdraft vent instructions for how to install a vent behind a cooktop.

• The countertop must have a deep flat surface to accommodate the combined installation of the cooktop and vent.

Over a warming drawer:

DRAWER

If a 30” clearance between the cooktop and overhead combustible materials or metal cabinet cannot be maintained, then a minimum clearance of 24” is required and the underside of the cabinets above the cooktop must be protected with not less than 1/4” insulating millboard covered with sheet metal not less than 30 gage (0.0125”) thick. A ventilation hood may be installed above the cooktop. See the ventilation hood installation instructions for the appropriate dimensions and clearances.
