2. DETERMINE PLACEMENT

Determine where the unit will be installed to conform with all
safety codes and the guidelines below. Unit may be safely
installed as near as 2" (5.08 cm) from any cabinet or wall if space
limitations require.

Installing cabinetry over the cooktop:

1. To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over heated
surface units, cabinet storage space located above the
surface units should be avoided.

2. If cabinet storage is to be provided, the risk can be reduced
by installing a range hood that projects horizontally a
minimum of 5" (12.7 cm) beyond the bottom of the cabinets.

3. A clearance of 30" (76.2 cm) minimum is required between
the top of the cooktop and the bottom of an unprotected
wood or metal cabinet.

4. A clearance of 18" (45.72 cm) minimum is required when the
bottom of a wood or metal cabinet is protected by not less
than 1/4" (0.635 cm) FLAME RETARDANT millboard covered
with not less than No. 28 MSG sheet steel, 0.015" (0.28 cm)
stainless steel or 0.024" (0.061 cm) aluminum or copper.

CLEARANCE DIMENSIONS

3. PROVIDE CUTOUT

After determining correct cooktop position using the guidelines,
make the cutout in the counter top (Refer to illustrations).

CAUTION

Cutout dimensions are critical. Dimensions must be

measured and cut accurately to within ± 1/16" (.16 cm) to

insure proper fit.

Cutout:

1. Chamfer all exposed edges of decorative laminate to prevent
damage from chipping.

2. Radius corners of cutout and file to insure smooth edges and
prevent corner cracking.

3. Rough edges, inside corners which have not been rounded
and forced fits can contribute to cracking of the countertop
laminate.

4. Countertop must be supported within 3" (7.62 cm) of cutout.

NOTE: Countertop must be flat below the cooktop from the
cutout to the edge of the glass. 13/16" is the distance from
the edge of cooktop glass to the edge of the cutout.

4. INSTALL THE COOKTOP

• Place the unit in the cutout.

• Remove screws from bottom of cooktop and install brackets to
the bottom of the unit.

• Secure the cooktop to the countertop by tightening the adjusting
screws until finger tight.

DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN.

CAUTION

Do not over-tighten the hold down adjusting screw. Damage

to the glass cooktop will occur if excessive pressure is used.

Secure the unit to the countertop using only the hold down

bracket and adjusting screw provided, do not use any other

means to secure the unit.

NOTE: Foam tape is supplied with the unit. If desired, apply
the foam tape around the bottom outside edge of the glass
before installing unit.

6. TEST THE UNIT

• Restore the power supply and test to insure the touch controls
operate all elements properly.

You must provide an adequate electrical supply system as
required for your cooktop. All wire connections must be in
accordance with local codes and properly insulated. Check with
local utility for governing electrical codes and ordinances. In the
absence of local electrical codes, the National Electrical Code
(NEC), ANSI/NFPA No. 70-latest edition, governing electric range
installations must be followed. A copy of the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-latest edition can be obtained by
writing to:

IMPORTANT: The installation and use of a cooktop in a Marine
application must conform to the American Boat and Yacht Council
Standard ABYC A-3 (Galley Stoves).
The wiring must conform to ABYC E-11 (AC & DC Electrical
Systems).

IMPORTANT: The installation of a cooktop designed for mobile
home installation must conform with the Manufactured Home
Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280
(formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construction
and Safety, Title 24 HUD, Part 280) or, when such standard is not
applicable, the Standard for Manufactured Home Installations
