INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

Power Supply
The cooktop must be connected to a supply circuit of the proper 

voltage and frequency as specified on the rating plate. Wire size 

must conform to the National Electrical Code or the prevailing local 

code. The rating plate is located on the side of the component box.

WIRING

Built-in power leads are UL-approved for connection to larger 

gauge household wiring. The insulation of these leads is rated 

at temperatures much higher than the temperature rating of 

household wiring. The current-carrying capacity of a conductor is 

governed by the temperature rating of the insulation around the 

wire rather than the wire gauge alone.

WARNING: 

IMPROPER CONNECTION OF ALUMINUM 

HOUSE WIRING TO THESE COPPER LEADS CAN RESULT IN 

A SERIOUS PROBLEM. USE ONLY CONNECTORS DESIGNED 

FOR JOINING COPPER TO ALUMINUM AND FOLLOW THE 

MANUFACTURER’S RECOMMENDED PROCEDURE CLOSELY.

CERAMIC GLASS COOKTOP

If the glass is damaged it must be replaced in combination with 

the touch board; these two components come from the factory as 

a single assembly. Do NOT attempt to remove and reuse the touch 

board. The display board and its light guides may be removed from 

the old touch board and installed onto the new touch board.

 Electrical Shock Hazard

Death or serious injury can result from failure to follow these 

instructions.
•  Service by a qualified service technician only.
•  Disconnect power before servicing this product.
•  Reconnect all grounding devices after service.
•  Replace all parts and panels before operating.

RADIANT HEATING ELEMENT SYSTEMS

The radiant heating element consists of a spiral wound resistance wire 

DWWDFKHGWRPLFURSRURXVLQVXODWLRQZLWKPROGHGFHUDPLF¿EHUZDOOVLQD

corrosion protected metal tray.

TEMPERATURE LIMIT/HOT LIGHT SWITCH

The Temperature Limit/Hot Light Switch performs two functions:
1. Turns on HOT LIGHT as soon as glass temperature reaches 150º F. The 

hot light will remain on until the glass surface above the heating unit 
has cooled below 150º F (Even after surface unit switch has been turned 

2. Detects when glass temperature above a unit has exceeded its limit of 

approximately 1031º F and disconnects power to that unit. When glass 
temperature cools below 1031º F, the unit will turn back on.

The temperature limit/hot light switch can not be calibrated.

HOT SURFACE INDICATOR LIGHT

When the glass temperature reaches 150º F the Hot Surface Indicator 
Light is activated to alert consumer that glass Surface is too hot to 
touch. The Hot Surface Indicator Light Is turned on by an additional set of 
contacts within the temperature limiter.
