COOKTOP SAFETY

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety

messages.

This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or "WARNING."

These words mean:

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately

follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

Do not terminate the vent system in an attic or other enclosed area.

• Use a Jenn-AiP vent cap.

• Vent system must terminate to the outside.

• Use only a 6" (15.2 cm) round metal vent. Rigid metal vent is recommended. For best performance, do not use plastic or

metal foil vent. Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance

within the wall or floor for the exhaust vent. Do not cut a joist or stud unless absolutely necessary. If a

joist or stud must be cut, then a supporting frame must be constructed.

The size of the vent should be uniform. The vent system must have a damper. If roof or wall cap has a

damper, do not use damper supplied with the range hood.

• Usecaulkingtosealexteriorwallorroofopeningaroundthe cap.

• Determinewhichventingmethodisbestforyourapplication.

For Best Performance:

• Use 26-gauge minimum galvanized or 25-gauge minimum aluminum metal vent. Poor quality pipe fittings can reduce

airflow. Flexible metal vent is not recommended. NOTE: Local codes may require a heavier gauge material.

• Metal duct may be reduced to 30-gauge galvanized steel or 26-gauge aluminized steel if allowed by local codes. This

reduction is based on information in the International Residential Codes Section M1601.1 (2006 edition).

• Do not install 2 elbows together.

• Use no more than three 90° elbows.

• If an elbow is used, install it as far away as possible from the hood's vent motor exhaust opening.

• Make sure there is a minimum of 18" (45.7 cm) of straight vent between the elbows if more than one elbow is used.

• Elbows too close together can cause excess turbulence that reduces airflow.

• Do not use a 5" (12.7 cm) elbow in a6" (15.2 cm) or 31/4"x 10'' (8.3 x 25.4 cm) system.

• Do not reduce to a 5" (12.7 cm) system after using 6" (15.2 cm) or 31/4'' x 10" (8.3 x 25.4 cm) fittings.

• Avoid forming handmade crimps. Handmade crimps may restrict airflow.

• Use a Jenn-Air ®vent cap for proper performance. If an alternate wall or roof cap is used, be certain the cap size is not reduced and that it has a backdraft damper.

The length of vent system and number of elbows should be kept to a minimum to provide efficient performance.

The maximum equivalent length of the vent system is 60 ft (18.3 m). For altitudes above 4,500 ft (1272 m), reduce recommended vent run by 20% for best performance.

Cold Weather Installations An additional back draft damper should be installed to minimize

backward cold air flow and a thermal break installed to minimize conduction of outside temperatures as part of the vent system.

The damper should be on the cold air side of the thermal break. Makeup Air Local building codes may require the use of makeup air systems

when using ventilation systems greater than specified CFM of air movement. The specified CFM varies from locale to locale. Consult your HVAC professional for specific requirements in your

area.

7. Reattach the four acorn nuts to secure the blower motor assembly back to the blower exhaust scroll.

Determine Range Blower Setting

This cooktop is equipped with a dual range blower. It is shipped from the factory in the low range for most installations. If the equivalent duct length exceeds 30 ft (9.1 m), it must be converted to high range. Do not convert the blower to high range for shorter lengths; this will cause excessive noise and conditioned air loss. Convert blower before installing into countertop if necessary.

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install cooktop. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

To Convert to High Range:

1. Using 2 or more people, place cooktop on floor with front edge and plenum down.

2. Remove the four acorn nuts (A) that attach the blower motor assembly to the blower exhaust scroll.

3. Remove the blower motor assembly (B) from the blower exhaust scroll (E).

4. Slowly reach in the blower exhaust scroll opening and remove the snap ring (C).

5. Gently remove the restrictor ring (D).

6. Place the motor assembly back on the studs of the blower exhaust scroll.

A. Acorn nuts (4) B. Blower motor assembly C. Snap ring D. Restrictor ring

E. Blower exhaust scroll

Electrical Shock Hazard

Disconnect power before servicing. Use 8 gauge copper wire.

Electrically ground cooktop. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,

fire, or electrical shock.

If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrical installer determine that the ground path and wire gauge are in accordance with local

codes. Check with a qualified electrical installer if you are not sure the

cooktop is properly grounded. Make sure that the electrical connection and wire size are

adequate and in conformance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-latest edition or CSA Standards C22.1-94,

Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1 and C22.2 No. O-M91-1atest edition, and all local codes and ordinances.

Cleveland, OH 44131-5575

Before You Make the Electrical Connection:

To properly installyour cooktop, you must determine the type of electrical connection you will be using and follow the instructions

provided for it here.

• A 4-wire or 3-wire, single phase, 120/240 volt, 60 Hz., AC only electrical supply is required on a separate, 40-amp

circuit (30" [76.2 cm] models), 20-amp circuit (20" [50.8 cm] models) or 60-amp circuit (45" [114.3 cm] models), fused on

both sides of the line. The cooktop should be connected directly to the junction box

in the cabinet through the flexible metal conduit. The flexible, armored cable extending from the fuse box or circuit breaker

box should be connected directly to the cooktop wiring box. Locate the junction box in the cabinet to allow as much slack

as possible between the junction box and the cooktop so that the cooktop can be moved if servicing becomes necessary in the future.

A UL listed or CSA approved conduit connector must be provided at each end of the power supply cable (at the

cooktop wiring box and at the junction box in the cabinet).

• If the house has aluminum wiring follow the procedure below:

1. Connect a section of solid copper wire to the pigtail

leads.

2. Connect the aluminum wiring to the added section of

copper wire using special connectors and/or tools

designed and UL listed for joining copper to aluminum. Follow the electrical connector manufacturer's recommended procedure. Aluminum/copper connection must conform with

local codes and industry accepted wiring practices.

4. Remove the removable grease filter by lifting the filter out.

5. Using 2 or more people, remove the cooktop from the carton.

6. Use foam end caps from the packaging as a work surface for the floor or countertop.

7. Using 2 or more people, place the cooktop on the foam end caps.

8. Avoid placing the cooktop face down on the control knobs. REMEMBER: An undercounter built-in oven cannot be

installed under this cooktop.

IMPORTANT: The following additional steps must be performed if the product is being installed in peninsula or island cabinetry.

The blower exhaust scroll is shipped from the factory set to exhaust straight out the back of the cabinet through an exterior

wall.
