Installation 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.
