SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read this section BEFORE operating the cooktop.
This cooktop, like all appliances, has the potential to create safety
problems through careless and improper use. Please observe all of
the following safety precautions.
Proper Installation
Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified
technician.
Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room
Do not leave children alone
Children should never be left alone or unattended in the area where the
appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part
of the appliance. Do not store items of interest to a child in cabinets above
cooktop. Children climbing on the cooktop to reach such items could be
seriously injured.
Wear proper clothing/apparel
Loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using the
appliance.
User Servicing
Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance. If service ever becomes
necessary, this appliance should be serviced by AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY or call SUMMIT Customer Service at 1-800-932-4267.
Keep flammable materials away from the cooktop
Do not store plastic material (such as plastic utensils) in storage areas
beneath cooktop
Plastic items with low melting temperatures should not be stored under, over
or near the cooktop.
Do not soak removable heating elements
Heating elements should never be immersed in water.
Do not use water on grease fires
Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
Use only dry potholders
Damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let
potholder touch the heating elements on the appliance. Do not use a towel
or other bulky cloth in place of a potholder.

Do not cook on a broken cooktop
If your cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate
the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Immediately contact
an authorized service center or call the SUMMIT Customer Service at 1-800-932-4267.
Clean cooktop with caution
If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking surface, be
careful to avoid steam burns. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes if
applied to a hot surface. Read the cleaner label for details prior to use.
DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS
The heating elements on the cooktop may be hot even if they are dark in
color. These areas may be hot enough to cause burns. Never touch heating
elements until they have had sufficient time to cool. Likewise, never allow
clothing or flammable materials to come in contact with heating elements or
the cooktop surface until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other
surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to cause burns.
Use proper pan size
This appliance is equipped with two 6¼"-diameter surface units. Select
utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating
element. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the heating
element to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper
relationship of utensil to burner will also improve efficiency.
Never leave surface units unattended at high heat settings
Boil-over causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
Utensil handles should be turned inward and not extend over adjacent
surface units
To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due
to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of a utensil should be
positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent
surface units.

Installation Instructions
IMPORTANT!
Save this manual for review by local inspector.
This appliance must be properly installed and
grounded by a qualified technician.
1. Unpacking the Cooktop
Carefully unpack the cooktop from its shipping container. If possible, keep the
original shipping carton and protective packaging in the event the unit has to be
returned for service.
Verify the package contents. (NOTE: A model with TK in the suffix includes a
15-inch wide stainless steel frame in the package.) If the ceramic glass cooktop
appears to be damaged or parts are missing, call SUMMIT immediately.
Important! Do not remove the clear plastic covering
film on the ceramic glass until cooktop is ready to
be installed.
2. Checking the Electrical Supply Requirements
This product must be installed in accordance with national, state and local
electric codes. Here are the electrical requirements:
The supply must be from an individual grounded circuit that is protected by a
circuit breaker and rated per the specifications shown above.
Warning: If the electric power supply does not meet
the product specifications, consult with a licensed
electrician before proceeding with installation.

3. Preparing the countertop
Please read this section prior to making a cutout in your counter for the
cooktop.
It is important to plan ahead for installation of the cooktop, keeping the following
dimensions in mind.
a. The maximum depth of overhead cabinets should be 13 inches.
b. The minimum height of the countertop above the floor should be 36 inches.
c. The minimum flat countertop surface that the cooktop will rest upon must be
equal to or greater than the overall cooktop dimensions. (Refer to the page 1
for these dimensions).
d. There should be a minimum clearance of 30 inches between the top of the
cooking surface and the bottom of an unprotected wood or metal cabinet.
When the bottom of a wood or metal cabinet is protected by not less than ¼
inch thick flame-retardant millboard covered with not less than No. 28 MSG
sheet steel, 0.015-inch-thick stainless steel, 0.024-inch-thick aluminum or
0.020-inch-thick copper, the minimum clearance should be 24 inches.
e. The distance from the backsplash of the countertop to the edge of the
ceramic glass of the cooktop should be a minimum of 1 inch. (Refer to page
1 for overall cooktop dimensions).
Do not install the cooktop closer than ½ inch (12 mm) from any adjacent
surface.
Warning: To eliminate the risk of burns when
reaching over heated surface units, avoid having
cabinet storage space located above surface units.
If cabinet storage 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.
Before making the countertop cutout, check for clearance. See if the cooktop will
clear the front and side walls of the base cabinet. It is also important to provide
enough ventilation.
Adequate ventilation of the space below the countertop must be provided to
ensure proper operation of the cooktop. Heat transferred from the cooktop
bottom pan during operation will overheat an improperly ventilated area.
Allow a 2" (51mm) minimum clearance between the bottom of the metal pan of
the cooktop and any combustible surface located below, e.g., the upper edge of
Page 6
a drawer installed below the cooktop. Failure to provide proper clearances and
ventilation may result in a fire hazard.
Countertop cutout dimensions are shown in the figure below. (If your cutout is
closer to 15” than 10⅝” wide, you should use one of our TK model cooktops.)
Note: When making the countertop, put a radius at the corners of the cutout (¼"
radius is typical). This will keep the countertop from cracking. Follow the
countertop manufacturer's instructions regarding the minimum corner
radius and reinforcement of corners.
4. Installing the Cooktop
The cooktop should be bedded to the countertop using a soft bedding compound
that will prevent damage if later removal for service is necessary. A very small
bead of silicone sealant should be laid around the edges of the cutout.
Place the cooktop in the cutout opening and press firmly on all sides to seal the
frame into the bedding compound.
To install TK models: For wider cutouts, use the stainless steel frame supplied
with your TK cooktop. Lay a thin bead of bedding compound along the edge of
the cutout, and then lay the frame over this, pressing down to make a good seal
once the frame is centered. The frame should be as flush with the countertop as
possible. Then place the cooktop into the opening.

5. Electrical Connection
Before proceeding further, verify that the power supply is disconnected. Verify
that the appropriate electrical supply requirements have been met. Please refer
to the table on page 4 for appropriate electrical requirements. The cooktop is
supplied with a 48-inch long conduit for a connection to an accessible junction
box. The conduit consists of three insulated wires. There is a hot lead conductor
(black insulated-tinned copper), one insulated ground conductor (green
insulated-tinned copper) and a neutral conductor (white insulated-tinned copper).
(See Wiring Diagram for CR2115 models below and on bottom of the cooktop.)
Attach conductor wires to residence wiring in accordance with national, state and
local electric codes.
Warning – Grounding
The entire appliance must be grounded at all times
when the electrical power supply is on. Do not
ground the appliance with the neutral house supply
wire (white). A separate ground must be used.
6. Final Preparations Prior to Use
Remove the plastic film from the cooktop. Clean the cooktop before you use it
for the first time. A thorough cleaning with a recommended cooktop cleaner will
provide a clean, shiny coating on the cooktop surface.
The next section of the manual covers cooktop use, maintenance, safety and
service information.
