Important Information ! WARNING ! WARNING General Safety Procedures 1. The cooktop must be installed and/or repaired by an authorized installer or servicer. 2. Never use the cooktop for warming or heating the room. 3. Do not store items on the cooktop. Items stored on the cooktop can become too hot and melt. 4. Wear proper apparel. Loose fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using cooktop. 5.
Installation Instructions ! CAUTION To avoid risk of property damage after unpacking the cooktop, handle it carefully and do not slide it across countertops. 24" min. Protected 30" min. Unprotected Installation Options Some models may be installed with the glass top either resting on the counter or recessed into the counter. Refer to the Installation Instruction booklet included with each model. Recessed installations require a countertop inlay kit, CFK1, available from the dealer.
Installation Instructions 7/16" ! WARNING To avoid risk of serious burns or other personal injury by reaching over heated surface elements, avoid locating cabinet storage above surface units. If cabinet storage above the unit is to be provided, reduce risk by installing a range hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5 inches beyond the bottom of the cabinets. Foam Tape Cooktop Burner Box Laminate Countertop 4. Route the edge of the cutout using a 3/4 inch diameter router bit set 9/32 inches deep.
Installation Instructions 6. Apply foam tape to the underside of the cooktop glass and flush with edge of the cooktop frame. The foam tape prevents sealant from seeping between the countertop and the underside of the cooktop. Service problems may arise if foam tape is not applied correctly. 7. Place metal reflective tape around the bottom inside edge of the cooktop cutout. This applies only to solid surface countertops. 8. Place cooktop in opening.
Operating Instructions Using the Cooktop Using a Wok • Use Proper Pan Size Use cooking utensils with flat bottoms large enough to cover the flame. Correct-sized utensils improve cooking efficiency and promotes safety. Undersized utensils expose clothing and spillovers to direct flame. • Never Leave Surface Units Unattended Boilovers can cause smoking or fire.
Operating Instructions AKH, AK2H, CAK2H, and CAKH Unit Description Operating Surface Elements−All Models Operating Single Radiant Element Push in and turn control knob to desired setting. The radiant element cycles on and off to maintain desired heat setting. Turn all controls to OFF when finished. AKH and CAKH units feature one halogen element. AK2H units feature two Haloring elements. Halogen elements reach cooking temperature quickly and provide an even heat. Both features improve cooking performance.
Operating Instructions Operating Halogen Heater Operate the halogen heater element by pushing in the control knob and turning to desired setting. The control setting cycles the element on and off to maintain heat. Turn control knob to OFF position when finished. Changing Fuses−Canadian Models Before Date Code 2/96 The cooktop fuse box is located at the end of the power conduit. Turn the fuses counterclockwise to remove. Replacement fuses must have the same rating.
Troubleshooting Procedures Cleaning Glass/ Ceramic Cooktop Problem Cause To Prevent Cleaning with a sponge or dishcloth that has been used for other kitchen cleaning tasks and may contain soil−laden detergent water. Spatters or spillovers onto a hot cooking area. Use Elco, Bon Ami, Soft Scrub, Cooktop Cleaning Creme or baking soda only with a clean, damp paper towel. Use a light application of Elco, Bon Ami, Soft Scrub, Cooktop Cleaning Creme or baking soda with a clean, damp paper towel.
Troubleshooting Procedures Power Supply Infinite Switch Surface Controls If no part of the cooktop operates or only part of it operates, the cause may be a problem in the power supply. 1. Verify supply circuit breakers or fuses are not tripped. Check rating. 2. Disconnect power source. Check terminals at terminal block for tightness. 3. Verify cooktop service wires are properly connected. Be sure wires are in good condition. Check for continuity with an ohmmeter.
Troubleshooting Procedures Multi−Position Switch Continuity Test 1. Remove all wires connected to the control. 2. Turn control to OFF. Check for continuity between each contact (1−1a, 2−2a, 3−3a, ect.) except contacts 7−7a. If continuity is found between any contacts, the switch has failed and must be replaced. 3. There is a diode across contacts 7−7a. With the control turned to OFF, check continuity across this contact. Ohmmeter must be set at 10 KΩ setting to check diode measurement.
Troubleshooting Procedures CAKH and AKH Units Quick Star Elements−Power Connected Halogen Element Continuity Test 1. Disconnect power from cooktop. Connect ohmmeter leads to element assembly terminals. Note that the resistive element is in series with halogen tubes. 2. Check for continuity readings on the follow elements as indicated in the appropriate wiring diagram. Performance Test 1. Set meter to measure at least 250 VAC. Connect meter leads to element tabs. 2. Connect cooktop to power source. 3.
Troubleshooting Procedures NOTE: Test diode, disconnect wires and connect meter on 10 KΩ scale. Meter should indicate continuity with leads connected one direction and no continuity with leads in the reverse direction for a diode to be operating properly. If no continuity, diode is open. If continuity in both directions, diode is shorted. In either case, replace diode. Indicator Lights and Diode Assembly− Some Models Power Connected 1. Set meter to measure at least 250 VAC.
Troubleshooting Procedures Problems Element burns out immediately after installation. Halogen Elements Improper wiring installation Hot Wired to Neutral terminal. Warranty is VOID.(SEE Installation Instructions.) NOTE: Possible damage to glass. Quick Star Element Improper wiring installation Hot Wired to Neutral terminal. Warranty is VOID.(SEE Installation Instructions.) NOTE: Possible damage to glass. Solid Disk Element Improper wiring installation Hot Wired to Neutral terminal. Warranty is VOID.
Troubleshooting Procedures Problems Broken glass− ceramic heater panel. Halogen Elements Replace heater panel. Check for runaway surface control, faulty limit switch that could have caused heater panel to break. Quick Star Element Replace heater panel. Check for runaway surface control, faulty limit switch that could have caused heater panel to break. Solid Disk Element Replace heater panel. Check for runaway surface control, faulty limit switch that could have caused heater panel to break.
Disassembly Procedures AKH Models ! WARNING Burner Replacement 1. Remove access panel from back of cooktop. 2. Remove screws securing burner bracket in place. 3. Remove screws securing burner bracket. 4. Remove Burner and hold down spring. 5. Disconnect wiring. 6. Replace burner. 7. Reverse procedure to reassemble. To avoid electrical shock, personal injury , or death, disconnect power supply and remove cooktop from countertop before replacing any parts. NOTE: Lay cooktop upside down on a soft cloth.
