INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USING YOUR APPLIANCE
•
Remove the exterior packing.
•
Check if there is any damage to the unit.
•
Clean the unit. A thorough cleaning with a recommended cooktop cleaner will provide a clean, shiny
coating on the cooktop surface.
INSTALLATION OF YOUR APPLIANCE
NOTE:
Your ceramic cooktop can be used as a portable unit or it can be inserted into a prepared cutout
in your countertop. Follow these directions for countertop installation:
1. Countertop Preparation
NOTE:
Please read this section prior to making cutout for cooktop. It is important to plan ahead for
installation of the cooktop, keeping the following dimensions in mind.
A
—
13 inches maximum depth of overhead
cabinets
B
—
36 inches is minimum height of countertop
above floor
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 following page for overall cooktop
dimensions).
D
—
30 inches minimum clearance between the
top of the cooking surface and the bottom of
an unprotected wood or metal cabinet or 24
inches minimum clearance when the bottom of
wood or metal cabinet is protected by not less
than 1/4 - 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.
E
—
1-inch minimum from backsplash of
countertop to edge of glass (refer to the
following page for overall cooktop
dimensions).
NOTE:
Do not install closer than 1/2 inch (12 mm) from any adjacent surface.
Before making the countertop cutout, check for clearance. Check to see if the cooktop will clear the front
and side walls of the base cabinet. It is also important to provide enough ventilation.
WARNING
To eliminate the risk of burns by 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.
