INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS Tools and Parts ■ Ovens approved for this type of installation will have an approval label located on the top of the oven. If you do not find this label, contact your dealer to confirm that your oven is approved. Refer to oven manufacturer’s Installation Instructions for approval for built-in undercounter use and proper cutout dimensions. ■ The cooktop should be installed away from strong draft areas, such as windows, doors, fans or strong heating vents.
Electrical Requirements Cabinet Dimensions IMPORTANT: If installing a range hood or microwave hood combination above the cooktop, follow the range hood or microwave hood combination installation instructions for dimensional clearances above the cooktop surface.

■ ■ The cooktop should be connected directly to the junction box through flexible, armored or nonmetallic sheathed, copper cable. The flexible, armored cable extending from the fuse box or circuit breaker box should be connected directly to the junction box. Locate the junction box to allow as much slack as possible between the junction box and the cooktop so that the cooktop can be moved if servicing becomes necessary in the future. ■ Do not cut the conduit. Use the length of conduit provided.
Installing Brackets After Placing Cooktop in Cutout 1. Using 2 or more people, place the cooktop right side up into the cutout. NOTE: Make sure that the front edge of the cooktop is parallel to the front edge of the countertop. If repositioning is needed, lift entire cooktop up from cutout to avoid scratching the countertop. 3. Select bracket mounting locations that will allow the bracket to extend far enough out from the cooktop for the installation of clamping screws. 4.

Cooktop Controls WARNING Hot Surface Indicator Light This unit features a Hot Surface Indicator Light. The Hot Surface Indicator Light will glow as long as any surface cooking area is too hot to touch, even after the surface cooking area(s) is turned off. Dual Zone Element Fire Hazard Low Turn off all controls when done cooking. Single Failure to do so can result in death or fire. Dual The control knobs can be set to anywhere between HIGH and LOW. Push in and turn to setting.
Ceramic Glass The surface cooking area will glow red when an element is on. However some parts of the surface cooking area may not glow red when an element is on. This is normal operation. The burner will cycle on and off to maintain the selected heat level and to keep to keep the cooktop from reaching extreme temperatures. It is normal for the surface of light colored ceramic glass to appear to change color when surface cooking areas are hot. As the glass cools, it will return to its original color.
Home Canning When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface cooking areas, elements or surface burners between batches. This allows time for the most recently used areas to cool. ■ Center the canner on the grate or largest surface cooking area or element. On electric cooktops, canners should not extend more than ½" (1.3 cm) beyond the surface cooking area or element. ■ Do not place canner on 2 surface cooking areas, elements or surface burners at the same time.
COOKTOP CARE General Cleaning IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and the oven and cooktop are cool. Always follow label instructions on cleaning products. Use soap, water and a soft cloth or sponge unless otherwise noted. STAINLESS STEEL (on some models) To avoid damage to stainless steel surfaces, do not use soapfilled scouring pads, abrasive cleaners, Cooktop Cleaner, steelwool pads, gritty washcloths or abrasive paper towels.
