Part 1. Safety Warnings
Safety Warnings
Your safety is important to us. Please

installing or using your Cooktop.
Important –Save for the local electrical
inspector’s use.
To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by
reaching over heated surface units, cabinet
storage space located above the surface units
should be avoided. If cabinet storage is to be
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.

following method:
▪Remove the protective film from the gasket.
▪Then attach the gasket to the lower side of the glass, next to the edge.
▪The gasket must be attached along the entire length of the glass edge and
should not overlap at the corners.
▪When installing the gasket, make sure that the glass does not come into contact
with any sharp objects.
Before locating the fixing brackets
The unit should be placed on a stable, smooth surface (use the packaging). Do not
apply force onto the controls protruding from the cooktop.

(for EMPV-12REC10 total 2pcs clip and 2pcs screw, for other models total 4pcs clip
and 4pcs screw). Find the easy fit kit package first.
Fix clips to cooktop: Insert the fixing clips into fixing holes reserved on 2 sides
of housing, fix clip to housing with screw, then insert cooktop into cabinet/work
surface.
Fix cooktop to cabinet: Insert the cooktop into the cabinet/work surface as

16
below diagrams, the mounted clips on the sides can secure your cooktop sturdily.
Connecting the cooktop to the mains power supply
The power supply should be connected in compliance with the relevant standard,
or a single-pole circuit breaker. The appliance has a large power rating and
must be connected to electricity by a Qualified Electrician.
Notes:
1. If the cable is damaged or needs replacing, this should be done by an
after-sales technician using the proper tools, so as to avoid any accidents.
2. If the appliance is being connected directly to the mains supply, an omni polar
circuit breaker must be installed with a minimum gap of 3mm between the
contacts.
3. The installer must ensure that the correct electrical connection has been made
and that it complies with safety regulations.
4. The cable must not be bent or compressed.
5. The cable must be checked regularly and only replaced by qualified technician.

Please never conduct the operation by yourself.
2. The electric cooktop shall not be mounted to cooling equipment, dishwashers
and rotary dryers.
3. The electric cooktop shall be installed such that better heat radiation can be
ensured to enhance its reliability.
4. The wall and induced heating zone above the work surface shall withstand heat.
5. To avoid any damage, the sandwich layer and adhesive must be heat resistant.
6. A steam cleaner is not to be used.
7. This electric cooktop can be connected only to a supply with system impedance
no more than 0.427 ohm. In case necessary, please consult your supply
authority for system impedance information.
