■
Do not let cooking grease or other flammable
materials accumulate on the cooktop
■
Do not touch surface units These surfaces may
be hot enough to burn even though they are
dark in color During and after use, do not touch,
or let clothing or other flammable materials
contact the surface units or areas nearby the
surface units; allow sufficient time for cooling
first
■
Potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop and
areas facing the cooktop
■

flammable materials and spillage, the handle of
a container should be turned toward the center
of the cooktop without extending over any
nearby surface units
■
Always turn the surface unit control to off before
removing the cookware
■
Use proper pan size—Select cookware having
flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface
unit heating element The use of undersized
cookware will expose a portion of the surface
unit to direct contact and may result in ignition
of clothing Proper relationship of cookware to
burner will also improve efficiency
■
Never leave surface units unattended at high
heat settings Boilovers cause smoking and
greasy spillovers that may catch on fire
■
Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,
earthenware or other glazed containers are
suitable for cooktop cooking; others may break
because of the sudden change in temperature
■
Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or
medium high heat settings
■

Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods
can cause hot fat to bubble up and over the
sides of the pan
■
Use little fat for effective shallow or deep-fat
frying Filling the pan too full of fat can cause
spillovers when food is added
■
If a combination of oils or fats will be used in
frying, stir together before heating, or as fats
melt slowly
■
Always heat fat slowly and watch as it heats
■
Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible
to prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking
point
■
Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a
deep fat fryer Wait until the fat is cool

Never cook directly on the glass
Always use cookware
The radiant cooktop features heating units
beneath a smooth glass surface
A slight odor is normal when a new
cooktop is used for the first time. It is caused
by the heating of new parts and insulating
materials and will disappear in a short time.
On models with light colored glass
cooktops, it is normal for the cooking zones to
change color when hot or cooling down. This is
temporary and will disappear as the glass cools
to room temperature.
The surface unit will cycle on and off to
maintain your selected control setting
It is safe to place hot cookware from the oven
or surface on the glass surface when the
surface is cool
Even after the surface units are turned off, the
glass cooktop retains enough heat to continue
cooking To avoid over-cooking, remove pans
from the surface units when the food is cooked
Avoid placing anything on the surface unit until
it has cooled completely
■ Water stains (mineral deposits) are removable
using the cleaning cream or full strength
white vinegar.
■ Use of window cleaner may leave an
iridescent film on the cooktop. The cleaning

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
• 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

* Equivalent lengths of duct pieces are based on actual

performance with any downdraft cooktop
† Measure and list feet of straight duct used Count and
list the quantity of all other duct pieces for the “Number
Used” of each type
For maximum efficiency, use the shortest and straightest
duct run possible, with as few fittings as possible
Venting performance is improved by using larger
diameter duct

If flexible metal ducting is used, all the equivalent
feet values in the table should be doubled The
flexible metal duct should be straight and smooth
and extended as much as possible
Vent installation should not exceed 100 feet

Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of
other fuel burning equipment to prevent back drafting Follow the heating equipment manufacturer’s
guidelines and safety standards such as those published by the National Fire Protection Association
(NFPA), the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) and
local code authorities
5” round duct may be used on SHORT DUCT runs,
but best results will be obtained using 31⁄4” x 10”
or 6” round ducting
To convert blower exhaust direction, remove four
nuts behind the filter which hold blower and wire
finger guard
Rotate blower and reinstall to vent chamber, as
shown above Retighten nuts, but do not overtighten
Use galvanized or aluminum duct in 6≤ round or
31⁄4” x 10" size, or a combination of both
PVC duct should be used if installing under a poured
concrete slab
Local building code must be followed in
specifying approved type and schedule of ALL
duct used
Always use an appropriate roof or wall cap with
damper Laundry-type wall caps should NEVER
be used
Install ductwork, making male-female connections
in the direction of airflow as shown Secure all joints
with sheet metal screws and duct tape to assure an
airtight seal
Use the shortest and straightest duct run possible
For satisfactory performance, the duct run should
not exceed 100 feet equivalent length Refer to the
“DUCTWORK CALCULATIONS” chart for equivalent
lengths Use this chart to calculate the total
equivalent length of the ductwork
