Safety and warnings
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Failure to install the appliance correctly could invalidate any warranty or liability claims.
For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.
Do not leave packaging elements (e.g. plastic bags, polystyrene foam, staples, packing straps)
within easy reach of children during or after installation, as these may cause serious injury.
Make sure you recycle the packaging material.
Before disposing of any appliance, make sure that it can no longer be used and that all hazardous
parts are removed or made harmless, so that children playing with the old appliance cannot
harm themselves.
Only genuine replacement parts may be used for servicing the appliance. These are available
from your nearest Fisher & Paykel Authorized Service Center.
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 rangehood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5 inches
beyond the bottom of the overhead cabinets.

Safety and warnings
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Operation and maintenance
WARNING!
Hot Surface Hazard
DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR UNITS – Surface units may
be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface units may
become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or
let clothing or other flammable materials contact surface units or areas near
units until they have had sufficient time to cool. Among these areas are the
glass surfaces within and around the circles.
Never leave metal objects (such as kitchen utensils) or empty pans on the
cooktop as they can become hot very quickly.
Keep children away.
Handles of saucepans may be hot to touch. Check saucepan handles do not
overhang other cooking zones that are on. Keep handles out of reach of
children.
Failure to follow this advice could result in burns and scalds.
WARNING!
Fire Hazard
Never leave the appliance unattended when in use. Boilover causes smoking
and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
Failure to follow this advice may result in overheating, burning, and injury.

6Safety and warnings
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Operation and maintenance
Proper installation — Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified
technician.
Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.
Do not leave children alone — Children should not be left alone or unattended in the area where
the appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
Wear proper apparel — Loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using the
appliance.
User servicing — Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically
recommended in the manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
Storage in or on appliance — Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven or near
surface units.
Do not use water on grease fires — Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or foam-type
extinguisher.
Use only dry potholders — Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from
steam. Do not let potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
Use proper pan size — This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of different size.
Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element. The
use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the heating element to direct contact and may
result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to burner will also improve efficiency.
Never leave surface units unattended at high heat settings – Boilover causes smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite.
Glazed cooking utensils - Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic earthenware, or
other glazed utensils are suitable for rangetop service without breaking due to sudden change in
temperature.
Utensil handles should be turned inward and not extend over adjacent surface units — To reduce
the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with
the utensil, the handle of a utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not
extend over adjacent surface units.
Do not cook on broken cooktop — If cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may
penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician
immediately.
Clean cooktop with caution — If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking
area, be careful to avoid steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a
hot surface.

Do not use a steam cleaner to clean your cooktop.
Do not place or drop heavy objects on your cooktop.
Do not stand on your cooktop.
Do not use pans with jagged edges or drag pans across the ceramic glass surface as this can
scratch the glass.

Installation instructions
Fastening the cooktop to the counter
1 Turn the cooktop upside down and place it on a soft surface.
2 Spread the seal around the edges of the cooktop with the adhesive side facing down, as shown
in Figs. 6 and 7. Make sure that the whole perimeter is sealed. Cut off any excess material.
3 Mount the supplied clamps (A) and screws (B) onto the cooktop, as shown (without tightening
the screws).
4 Place the cooktop into the cutout, then tighten the screws to clamp the cooktop securely to the
counter.
5 Using a sharp cutter or trimmer knife, trim the excess sealing material around the edge of the
cooktop. Take care not to damage the countertop.
Note: if the countertop is thicker than 1
⁄ ” (40 mm), recess the underside to between
1
⁄ ” (30 mm) and 1 ⁄ ” (40 mm).

Final checklist
TO BE COMPLETED BY THE INSTALLER
Is the cooktop grounded?
Check that the connection through conduit is not accessible via cupboard doors or drawers.
Is the cooktop clamped down securely?
Make sure the cooktop is clean and free from any debris. Wipe with a clean damp cloth if
necessary.
Check that all the cooking zones function correctly. Turn on all of them to a high setting and
leave them on for at least one minute. Are all elements glowing?
Is the ‘On’ indicator glowing?
Are all the ‘Hot surface’ indicators glowing?
Have you shown the customer how to use the cookop? Make sure you explain to the customer
about the ‘Hot surface’ and ‘On’ indicators and the importance of taking note of the safety
warnings at the beginning of this manual.

To start cooking
Turn the control dial of the cooking zone you
wish to use to the HI setting, then adjust as
necessary.
When using dual cooking zones, you may
choose to use the inner zone only ( ) or
the full dual cooking zone ( ). See Fig. 10
below.
The front right cooking zone has a unique
SuperSimmer feature (see Fig. 11). This
special, low turndown range is excellent for
the most delicate cooking tasks, like melting
chocolate or simmering soups and stews.
For further advice on cooking and using
the SuperSimmer feature, see ‘Cooking
guidelines’ following.
‘On’ indicator
This will glow to indicate that one or more
cooking zones are turned on.
It will go out when all cooking zones are
turned off.
‘Hot surface’ indicators
As soon as you turn a cooking zone on, its
‘Hot surface’ indicator will start glowing.
It will continue to glow even after you have
turned the cooking zone off, until the glass
becomes cool enough to be safely touched.
When you have finished cooking
When you have finished using a cooking
zone, turn its dial to the OFF position.
When you have finished using your cooktop,
check that all dials are turned off and the ‘On’
indicator is unlit.

CA Cooking guidelines
Cookware
Use heavy-gauge, flat, smooth-based cookware that matches the diameter of the cooking zone.
This will provide good contact with the glass and help reduce cooking times. Low heat or slow
cooking is often due to incorrect cookware size.
Cookware with a stainless steel sandwich base or enamelled cast iron will give you the best
results.
Saucepans or heavy skillets with jagged edges or a rough base will scratch the glass.
Always lift pans off the cooktop -- do not slide, or they may scratch the glass.
Never use plastic or aluminum foil dishes on the cooktop.
Aluminum and copper-based cookware will leave metallic stains on the cooktop. To prevent
these building up, clean the cooktop after every use following the instructions in ‘Care and
cleaning’. If the metallic stains are allowed to burn onto the surface, they may react with the
glass and may no longer be removable. They don’t, however, affect performance.
It is safe to place hot cookware from the oven, or another cooking zone, on the glass surface
when the surface is cool.
Avoid placing anything on a hot cooking zone until it has cooled completely.
