INSTALLATION
General
Induction Ranges are shipped completely assembled and
ready for use. Built-in units require installation into a countertop
(see procedure in this section). Care should be taken when
unpacking the shipping carton to avoid damage to the unit and
components enclosed.
ELECTRIC ShOCK hAzARD: Unit is not weatherproof.
Locate unit indoors where ambient air temperature is a
minimum of 21°C (70°F).
FIRE hAzARD:
• Locate unit a minimum of 51 mm (2″) from combustible
walls and materials. If safe distances are not
maintained, discoloration or combustion could occur.
• Do not place unit near or underneath curtains or other
combustible materials. Items near or above unit could
catch fire causing injury and/or damage to unit.
Do not block or restrict air flow to air inlet filter or exhaust
fan on bottom of unit.
1. Remove the unit from the carton.
2. Remove the information packet from the carton.

for details.
4. Determine and prepare an appropriate installation location.
Make sure the installation location:
• is level and made of non-combustible material.
• is strong enough to support the unit and its contents.
• provides a minimum of 51 mm (2″) clearance from
combustible materials.
• is large enough for all four feet of the unit to be positioned
securely on the countertop (countertop units).
5. Install the unit on the countertop. For built-in units, refer to
the “Installing Built-In Models” procedure in this section.
Installing Built-In Models
IRB1-3000 models are built-in hobs that require installation into
a countertop before operation.
NOTE: Make sure that the installation location allows access to
the underside of the unit for maintenance and cleaning
after it has been placed into the countertop.
1. Carefully measure and cut
the appropriate opening in
the countertop. Refer to
the “Countertop Cutout
Dimensions” illustration.
NOTE: Make sure a minimum
51 mm (2") clearance
will
be
available
between the sides of
the unit and any interior
surface. A minimum of
128 mm (5") will be
needed below the
countertop surface for
the height of the unit.

2. If necessary, make structural modifications or add bracing
underneath the countertop to ensure the countertop will
support the weight of the unit and its contents.
NOTE: The countertop must be level to ensure proper
operation of the Induction Range.
3. Make sure the cabinetry provides proper ventilation with
external air to the underside of the unit. If necessary, cut
ventilation openings in the cabinetry to provide the
ventilation. Louvered or grill-style panels should be
installed in the openings.
4. Make sure a grounded electrical receptacle of the correct
voltage, size, and plug configuration is within 1829 mm
(72″) inside the mounting location for the unit. See the
SPECIFICATIONS section for details.
5. Apply a bead of silicone sealant onto the countertop
material around the cutout opening.
6. Carefully lower the unit into the opening, making sure the
power cord does not get pinched.
7. Assemble mounting clips and mounting nuts to the eight
mounting studs on the underside of the unit.
NOTE: Mounting clips and mounting nuts not supplied—
provided by installer.

8. Tighten and readjust the mounting nuts on the mounting
clips until the flange lies flat on the countertop.
Do not use excessive force when tightening mounting nuts
on built-in units. This may damage unit and/or countertop.
9. Provide separation underneath the unit between the cooling
air inlet filter and the exhaust fan. This is necessary to prevent
hot exhaust air from being drawn back into the unit through
the cooling air inlet, which could cause the unit to overheat.
