INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLATION
To eliminate the risk of buns or fire by reaching over heated surfaces, cabinet storage space located above
the cooktop should be avoided. If cabinet storage is being provided, the risk can be reduced by installing a
range hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5 inches beyond the bottom of the cabinets.
Cut out the work surface according to the sizes shown in the drawing and chart below. For the purpose
of installation and use, a minimum of 5 cm of space should be preserved around the hole. Be sure
the thickness of the work surface is at least 3 cm. Please select a heat-resistant work surface to avoid
deformation caused by heat radiation.
Make sure the cooktop is well ventilated. The air inlet and outlet must not be blocked under any
circumstances.

CONNECTING TO MAIN POWER SUPPLY
A 3 wire, single phase, 120 V, 60 Hz., AC only
electrical supply is required on a separate, 20 amp
circuit, fused on both sides of the line.
The cooktop should be connected directly to the
junction box through flexible, armored or non-
metallic 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 circuit. The length of conduit provided
is for serviceability of the cooktop.
A UL listed or CSA approved conduit connector
must be provided at each end of the power supply
cable at the cooktop and at the junction box.

BEFORE FIRST USE
• Read this guide, taking special note of the
“safety instructions” section.
• Remove any packaging, protective films or
warning sticker that may be on the cooktop.
• Wipe the cooktop with a soft, dry cloth to
remove any dust.
WORKING PRINCIPLE
The cooking area controls are called “infinite”
controls. This type of control has an infinite selection
of heat settings. The control settings begin at high
and decrease heat output by cycling the heating
elements between “off” and “on” as you turn the
knob clockwise. The heating elements will stay “off”
for longer periods and “on” for shorter periods as
you turn the knob clockwise, thus reducing the heat
output.
For your safety, we have incorporated a “HOT”
indicator light. When lit, this light indicates that
some part of the glass ceramic cooktop is too warm
to touch or place articles upon. Do not place articles
other than cookware on the cooking surface while
this light is glowing.
HOT SURFACE INDICATOR
• The hot surface indicator will light up when the
appliance is turned on and the temperature of
the cooktop is high.
• The light will stay after the appliance it turned
off and the cooktop is still hot.
• The cooktop may still be hot after the hot surface
indicator has turned out. Use caution and ensure
the cooktop is completely cool before cleaning
or maintenance.
COOKWARE
Do not use cookware with jagged edges or a
curved base.
Make sure the base of the pan is smooth, sits
flat against the glass and is the same size as the
cooking element. Always center the pan on the
element.
Always lift pans off the ceramic surface. Do not
slide as they may scratch the glass.

CARE & MAINTENANCE
CLEANING
For everyday cleaning of marks, fingerprints and
non- sugary spillovers, apply a ceramic cooktop
cleaning product. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean
cloth or paper towel.
For boil overs, melts and hot sugary spills on the
cooktop, remove the spill or food item immediately
with a ceramic cooktop razer but beware hot
cooking surfaces. Hold the razer at a 45-degree
angle and scrape the spilled food to a cool area
of the cooktop, then clean it up with a dish cloth
or paper towel. Large spills should be removed
immediately to ensure they do not bake onto the
surface of the cooktop.
Use a soft cloth to clean the control knobs. The
control knobs are not removable.
For a burned-on residue…
Let the cooktop cool, then, spread a few drops of
ceramic cooktop cleaning product on all the burned
residue area. Rub this area with a non-scratching
cleaning pad and if some residue remains, repeat
these steps.
For a heavy burned on residue…
Let the cooktop cool, then use a ceramic cooktop
razer at a 45-degree angle and scrape to remove
the residue. After scraping the heavy residue, ,
spread a few drops of ceramic cooktop cleaning
product on all the burned residue area. Rub this
area with a non-scratching cleaning pad.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Appliance will not operate
• Blown fuse or circuit breaker
Some pans make crackling or clicking noises
• This may be caused by the construction of the
cookware, different layers of metal may be
heating at different rates; this is normal.
The cooktop is scratched
• This may be caused by dragging uneven or
rough edged cookware across the surface of the
cooktop.
• This may be caused by using unsuitable or
abrasive cleaning products.
TO START COOKING
Place a suitable pan on the cooking element. Ensure
the bottom of the pan and the surface of the cooktop
are clean and dry.
1. Press the control knob inward.
2. Turn to the desired setting.
• Do not leave food unattended while the cooktop
is turned on. Boil overs and spills can cause
smoke and catch fire.
• When you have finished cooking, ensure the
control knob is turned to the “OFF” position.
