The following information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance on
glass cooktops.
Stainless Steel:
recommended
Aluminum:

appear as scratches. The residues can be
removed, as long as the cooktop is cleaned
immediately. However, do not let these pots
boil dry. Overheated metal can bond to glass
cooktops. An overheated copper bottom pot
will leave a residue that will permanently
stain the cooktop if not removed immediately.
Porcelain Enamel on Cast Iron:
recommended if bottom of pan is coated
Porcelain Enamel on Steel:
not recommended
Heating empty pans can cause permanent
damage to cooktop glass. The enamel can
melt and bond to the ceramic cooktop.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
This appliance must be supplied with the proper voltage and
frequency, as listed in these Installation Instructions, and
connected to an individual, properly grounded branch circuit,
protected by a 40-amp circuit breaker or time delay fuses.
All wire connections must be made in accordance with local

CABINET PREPARATION
1PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION
Positioning the cooktop
The cooktop is designed to look best when centered in a
cabinet at least 30” wide.
The exhaust vent beneath the cooktop must be located
between wall studs or floor joists so that the ductwork may
be installed properly.
At least 6” must be allowed between side edges of the
cooktop and adjacent walls.
Avoid placing cabinets above the cooktop unit, if possible,
in order to reduce the hazards caused by reaching over
heated surface units. If cabinets are placed over the
cooktop, the risks can be reduced by installing a range hood
that projects horizontally a minimum of 5 inches beyond the
bottom of the cabinets.
If cabinetry is used above the cooktop, allow a minimum 30”
clearance between the cooking surface and the bottom of
any unprotected cabinet.
If the clearance between the cooktop and the cabinetry is
less than 30”, the cabinet bottom must be protected with
flame retardant millboard at least 1/4” thick, covered with
28 gauge sheet steel or 0.020” thick copper. Clearance
between the cooktop and the protected cabinetry MUST
NEVER BE LESS THAN 24".
EXCEPTION: Installation of a listed microwave oven or
cooking appliance over the cooktop shall conform to the
installation instructions packed with that appliance.
A 15” minimum must be kept from the side edge of the
cooktop to the bottom of any cabinet not directly above the
cooktop. If the clearance is less than 15”, adjacent cabinets
should be at least 6” from the side edge of the cooktop.

ROUGH PREPARATION OF JUNCTION BOX
CAUTION: FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, REMOVE
HOUSE FUSE OR OPEN CIRCUIT BREAKER BEFORE
PREPARING JUNCTION BOX.
Install an approved junction box within shaded area shown
LQGLDJUDP-XQFWLRQER[PXVWEHDWOHDVWøµEHORZWRS
of cabinet.
Run conductors from residence wiring to junction box
according to local electrical codes.
2PREPARING THE BASE CABINET
This cooktop is designed to fit easily into a variety
of cabinets. However, some cabinets may require
modifications.
Preparing a cabinet that is against a wall
In some cabinets, the sides may need to be scooped or cut
down 53/4” as shown, and the corner braces removed in
order to accommodate the unit.
In 75 cm and 90 cm frameless European cabinets,
the back panel may need to be cut down 53/4” to
accommodate the unit.
Preparing a peninsula or island-type cabinet
In a peninsula or island-type cabinet, the sides may need to
be scooped or cut down, and the corner braces removed in
order to accommodate the unit.

PREPARING THE COUNTERTOP
The countertop must have a deep flat surface to
accommodate the cooktop and the vent. Countertops
with a rolled front edge and backsplash may not provide
the flat surface area required.
Clearance between inside front of cabinet and rear of
countertop cutout must be 205ø8” in order to accommodate
cooktop depth.
A 1/2” wide flat area is required around the edge of opening
for support of the unit. The cooktop unit must be level and
sit squarely into countertop opening.
Carefully cut countertop opening according to the
dimensions shown in the illustration. Be sure that opening
is cut squarely, with sides parallel to each other and rear
exactly perpendicular to sides.
5
PREPARING FOR DUCTWORK
NOTE: Ductwork MUST be vented to outside. DO NOT vent
into a wall, ceiling, crawlspace, attic or any concealed space.
Cut hole in cabinet wall or floor as appropriate for your
installation. Make sure exhaust duct is located between wall
studs or floor joists.
NOTE: When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not
damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
6
BLOWER TO DUCTWORK ALIGNMENT
In general, the use of flexible ducting is discouraged
because it can cause severely restricted airflow. However,
if the blower outlet and the floor or wall duct location do
NOT align well, then flexible METAL ducting can be used to
adapt to an offset. Good alignment without use of flexible
ducting is best.
NOTE:
• Do not exceed the maximum recommended offset of 6”.
• Do not allow the flexible ducting to kink or collapse.
• Do stretch the flexible ducting as much as possible to
eliminate as much of the corrugation as possible.
A 31ø4” x 10” rectangle to 6” round transition duct is available
at your local building supply store.

Typical duct arrangement countertop series.
To maximize the ventilation performance of the vent system:
1. Minimize the duct run length and number of transitions
and elbows.
2. Maintain a constant duct size.
3. Seal all joints with duct tape to prevent any leaks.
4. Do not use any type of flexible ducting.
If needed, install any make up (replacement) air system in
accordance with local building code requirements. Visit
GEAppliances.com for available makeup air solutions.
• Install ductwork so the piece of duct nearest the downdraft
unit slots INTO the next piece of the duct. Secure the joints
with self-tapping screws and apply duct tape around the
joints to ensure an airtight seal.

INSTALLING THE FOAM GASKET
Do not install the cooktop into the countertop without
installing the foam gasket as shown. It protects the bottom
edge of the glass from the countertop and seals the cooktop
against spills.
Remove the cooktop along with its shipping pad from
the shipping box. Remove the shipping block from the
downdraft vent opening and place it under the shipping pad
to provide level support.
CAUTION: GLASS IS FRAGILE. DO NOT BUMP
EDGE OF GLASS DURING INSTALLATION.
Locate the reflective tape and foam gasket tape included
with your cooktop.
Peel off the white backing to install the foam gasket tape on
the bottom side of the cooktop glass as shown.
Foam Gasket Installation Notes:
•The foam gasket tape should be installed within 1/8” of
the edge of the glass. Do not stretch or twist the foam
gasket tape.
CAUTION: Failure to install foam gasket tape
greatly increases the potential of breaking the cooktop
glass when installing, especially in Corian®or granite
countertops.
•Use care not to stretch the foam gasket tape while it is
installed or it will not stay in place.
•Do not place foam gasket tape over the metal flanges.
•Butt the foam gasket tape ends together at each corner
without overlapping.
•Trim the foam gasket tape to length without stretching.
•Mitre cut outside corners of foam gasket tape slightly if
necessary for appearance.
•Do not scratch the glass while cutting the foam gasket tape.
