Installation Instructions
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR YOUR SAFETY
• For Personal Safety, remove house fuse
or open circuit breaker before beginning
installation. Failure to do so could result in
serious injury or death.
• Be sure your cooktop is installed properly by a
qualified installer or service technician.
• To eliminate the risk of burns or fire due
to reaching over heated surface elements,
cabinet storage located above the surface
units should be avoided. If cabinet storage
space 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. Cabinet installation
above the cooktop may be no deeper than 13".
• Make sure the cabinets and wall coverings
around the cooktop can withstand the
temperatures (up to 200°F) generated by the
cooktop.
• The cooktop should be easy to reach and
lighted with natural light during the day.
• Always disconnect the electrical service to
the cooktop before repairing or servicing the
cooktop. This can be done by disconnecting
the fuse or circuit breaker. Failure to do this
could result in a dangerous or fatal shock.
Know where your main disconnect switch
is located. If you do not know, have your
electrician show you.
