Z_ WARNING:
When using the cooktop: Do not touch the burner grates or the immediate
surrounding area. Areas adjacent to the burners may become hot enough to
cause burns.
[] Never leave the cooktop unattended when using high flame settings. A possible boil over
could cause smoking or greasy spH[overs may ignite. More importantly, if the burner flames are
smothered by a severe boil over which effects the igniter, the unburned gas will escape into
the room, which would be extremely dangerous.
[] Only certain types of glass, heat-proof glass-ceramic, ceramic, earthen ware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for use on the open flame of the cooktop. Utensils that are not thermally
heat safe may break with sudden temperature changes.
[] Do not heat unopened food containers; a build up of pressure may cause the container to burst.
[] During cooking, set the burner control so that the flame heats at the bottom of the pan and
does not curl around the bottom edges of the pan.This could heat and/or melt the handles.
[] Always use utensils that have fiat bottoms large enough to cover the burner. The use of
undersized utensils wiii expose a portion of the flame to direct contact and may result in
ignition of clothing.
[] To minimize burns, ignition of fiammabie materials and accidental spill overs, position handles
of utensils inward so they do not extend over adjacent work a teas,cooking areas, or the outside
edges of the cooktop.
[] Hold the handle of the pan to prevent movement of the utensil when stirring or turning food.
[] Grease is flammable. Do not use water on grease fires.Turn OFF the burner, then smother the
fire with baking soda or use a dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher. Let hot grease cool

[] Use splatter screens over pans when frying foods to minimize possible grease burns. Be sure
not to use a flame that is too high.
[] For proper lighting and performance of the cooktop burners, keep the burner ports clean. It
may be necessary to clean these when there is a boil over or when the burner does not light,
even though the electronic igniters click.
[] Clean the cooktop with caution. Avoid steam burns; do not use a wet sponge or cloth to clean
the cooktop while it is hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.

PROPERVENTILATION REQUIREMENTS
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
CAUTION:
Ventilation hoods and blowers are designed for use with single wall ducting.
Howeverl some local building codes or inspectors may require double wall
ducting. Consult local building codes and/or local agencies before starting, to
ensure that hood and duct installation will meet local requirements. Hood
blower speeds should be variable to reduce noise and loss of heated or air
conditioned household air when maximum ventilation is not required. For best
smoke efimination, the lower edge of the hood should BE INSTALLED A
MINIMUM OF 30" TO A MAXIMUM OF 36"ABOVE THE COOKING SURFACE. If the
hood contains any combustible materials (i.e. awood covering) it must be a
minimum of 36" above the cooking surface. Due to a high volume of ventilation
air, asource of outside replacement air is recommended. This is particularly
important for tightly sealed and insulated homes. A reputable heating and
ventilating contractor should be consulted.

not pull[ down to countertop.
Tighten the 4 preHoaded thumb screws which wH[ keep the unit secured. Do Not Over-
tighten (See Figure 2 detail below).
NOTE: Some installations may not have adequate clearance at the front for the "Z'-shaped retain-
ing bracket. In those cases, use the "E-bracket provided. Fasten the bracket to the bottom of
the cooktop chassis using one of the screw holes provided for the retaining brackets. Make
sure the bracket extends out far enough to con tact the inside of the cabinet face. While push-
ing down on the front edge of the cooktop from above, attach the bracket to the cabinet.
This step wil insure that the edge of the cooktop is flush with the counter surface. Plug the
adjacent unused hole in the cooktop chassis with ascrew See Figure 3, page 8.

CABINET PREPARATION
The Dropdn Cooktop was designed for easy installation. However, for the best appearance, to concea]
the raw cutout edges and to ensure a snug and secure fit, the cutouts must be precise. Use the
cutout dimension information in the figures bellow for your installation. When preparing for instaH-
htion, it is critical that the cabinet cutout matches the cutout dimensions provided for the cooktop for
a good fit. See illustrations below for specifications.
I For proper performance, the Dropdn Cooktop must be level.To achieve a flush fit of the cooktop,
it will be necessary to have a flat countertop (front to back and left to right).
I Be sure to check local building codes for the proper method of installation. Local codes may
vary. Installation, electrical connections, and grounding must comply with all applicable codes.
NOTE: The cooktop must be completely removed from cut-out to service. The lower firebox is not
supported by the counter.
