WARNING
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use dry potholders or oven mitts to hold the handles of pots
and pans. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Use only proper pan sizes. This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units
of different size. Use pots and pans with flat bottoms large enough to cover the entire
surface unit. Using undersized pans may expose a portion of the heating element to
direct contact and may result in burns or ignition of clothing.
• Never leave surface units unattended at high heat settings. Boil-overs may cause smoking
and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
• To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to
unintentional contact with pots and pans, handles should be positioned so they are
turned inward and do not extend over adjacent surface units.
• Do not cook on a broken cooktop, as cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate
the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock.
• Clean your cooktop with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot
cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burns. Some cleaners can produce noxious
fumes if applied to a hot surface.
• Do not use a steam cleaner or high-pressure cleaners to clean your cooktop. Do not use
scourers or harsh abrasive cleaning agents, as these can scratch the ceramic glass.
• Do not place metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons, or lids on the cooktop surface
since they can get hot and increase risk of burns.
• DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR UNITS. Surface units may be hot
even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface units may become hot enough to
cause burns.
• During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact
surface units or areas near units until they have had sufficient time to cool.

• This appliance should be connected to a dedicated circuit that incorporates an isolating
switch providing full disconnection from the power supply.
• Connect only to a 3-wire, 240-volt power supply; the neutral conductor is not required
for operation of the appliance. The potential at the power supply electrical connections
shall be 150 volts-to-ground or less. Please ensure the cooktop is properly grounded.

• *H1: While the height of the cooktop recess without the glass top is 2 5/16" (59 mm), please
note a minimum 2" (51 mm) gap is required between the bottom of the cooktop and combustible
surfaces below (as outlined in the diagram on page 11). Considering this, the minimum
recommended cut-out depth is 4 5/16" (110 mm).
• **X: For the purpose of installation and use, a minimum of 2" (51 mm) space shall be preserved
around the entirety of the cutout hole.
• Recommended cutout width (A) and depth (B) allows for the cooktop’s recess to fit with minimal
distance on either side so the glass top may be firmly secured to the countertop.
• Be sure to carefully consider these critical dimensions before making an opening in the surface of
your countertop. Since kitchen layouts vary, ZLINE recommends consulting with a professional

ROOM VENTILATION
• The use of this appliance generates heat and humidity in the room/kitchen where it is
installed. Proper ventilation in the room is needed.
• An exhaust fan / range hood may be used with the appliance; in each case it shall
be installed in conformity with the appropriate national and local standards. Exhaust
hood operation may affect other vented appliances; in each case it shall be installed in
conformity with the appropriate national and local standards
• Intensive and continuous use of the appliance may require additional ventilation, for
example by opening a window.
• Under all circumstances, make sure the cooktop is well ventilated and the air inlet and
outlet are not blocked. Ensure the cooktop is in proper work state, as shown below.

POWER SHARING
• Power sharing happens when the total amount of watts is above the rated wattage, which
is 7200W for RCIND-24 and RCIND-30 and 9300W for RCIND-36. Max watts is the first
number in the diagrams on the previous page and "Boost" watts is the second number.
• Power levels 3 through 9 use the max watts on the burner being used. When using three burners
at once above power level 3 — and then adding a fourth on Boost — this will combine the total
being used above the rated wattage.
• Power sharing then activates, ensuring total watt usage stays at 7200W/9300W; to do so, the
appliance will drop the Boost level to 9 and show the change on the display panel.
• Power sharing tips: Select the power setting last for the cooking element you want to maintain
at the highest heat setting. When cooking two items at the same time, place one on an element
in one section (the left side, for example) and the other item in another section (right side).

service warranty.
ZLINE warranty periods begin from the original date of product delivery and solely cover the
original purchaser of the product, delivered new and in its original carton. The limited warranty

improper installation; negligence or improper maintenance, misuse, or abuse of the product;
unauthorized alteration, modification, or tampering with the product; accident, fire, floods,
pest infestations, pandemics, natural disasters, or any other unpreventable or unexplained

under warranty based on the disclaimers above, the customer will be responsible for all service
fees. Failure to pay these fees will result in the forfeiture of remaining warranty coverage.
