IMPORTANT INFORMATION FORPROPER
INFRAREDTOUCH CONTROL FUNCTION
Inorder to prevent faulty adjustment of the
controller sensorsdue to foreign light, the
intensity of illumination at the first power on
should not exceed 1000 lux. Direct irradiation
of the touch panel with light from a spotlight
should be avoided during the power process.
If the illumination exceeds 1000 lux, the
control doesn't display the version and stop
the automatic adjustment. Inthis caseturn
down the controls switch of the light till the
illumination is lower than 1000 lux.

_To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by
reaching over heated surfaces,cabinet storage space located
abovethe cooktop should be avoided. If cabinet storage is
provided, risk can be reduced by installing a range hood that
projects horizontally a minimum of 5" (12.7 cm) beyond the
bottom of the cabinets.

Important Notes to the Installer
1. Readall instructions contained in these installation
instructions before installing the cooktop.
2. Remove all packing material before connecting the
electrical supply to the cooktop.
3. Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
4. Be sure to leavethese instructions with the consumer.
Important Note to the Consumer
Keep these instructions with your Useand Care Guide for
future reference.
IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
• Be sure your cooktop is installed and grounded
properly by a qualified installer or service
technician.
• These cooktops must be electrically grounded in
accordance with local codes or, in their absence,
with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No.
70--latest edition in the United States, or with
CSA Standard C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code, Part
1, in Canada.
_The electrical power to the cooktop
must be shut off while line connections are being
made. Failure to do so could result in serious injury
or death.
Electrical Requirements
Observe all governing codes and local ordinances.
1. A 3-wire or 4-wire single phase 120/240 or 120/208
Volt, 60 Hz AC only electrical supply is required on a
separate circuit fused on both sides of the line (time-
delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended). DO
NOT fuse neutral. The fuse size must not exceed the
circuit rating of the appliance specified on the
nameplate.
NOTE: Wire sizes and connections must conform with
the fuse size and rating of the appliance in accordance
with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70-
latest edition, and local codes and ordinances.
An extension cord must not be used
with this appliance. Such use may result in a fire,
electrical shock, or other personal injury.
2. The appliance should be connected to the fused
disconnect (or circuit breaker) box through flexible
armored or nonmetallic sheathed cable. The flexible
armored cable extending from this appliance should
be connected directly to the grounded junction box.
The junction box should be located as shown in
Figure 2 with as much slack as possible remaining in
the cable between the box and the appliance, so it
can be moved if servicing is ever necessary.
3. A suitable strain relief must be provided to attach
the flexible armored cable to the junction box.
Provide Electrical Connection
Install the junction box under the cabinet and run 120/
240 or 120/208 Volt, AC wire from the main circuit
panel. NOTE: DO NOT connect the wire to the circuit
panel at this time. Wait until all wires have been
connected in the junction box.

Leave corner supports on cooktop until completion
of Electrical Connection.
Be sure the bottle of cleaner conditioner packed in
the literature bag is left where the user can find it
easily. It is important that the ceramic-glass
smoothtop be pretreated before use see Cooktop
Cleaning and Maintenance section in the Use and
Care Guide.
Electrical Connection
Connect the flexible armored cable that extends from
the surface unit to the junction box using a suitable
strain relief at the point the armored cable enters the
junction box. Then make the electrical connection as
follows.
Electrical ground is required on this appliance.
This appliance is equipped with a copper conductor
flexible cable. If connection is made to aluminum house
wiring, use only special connectors which are approved
for joining copper and aluminum wires in accordance
with the National Electrical Code and local codes and
ordinances.
This appliance is manufactured with a frame connected
green (or bare copper) ground wire.
1. If connecting to a 3-wire supply cable:
Connect the green (or bare copper) wire from the
appliance cable and the supply cable (green or bare)
wire to the ground screw inside the junction box (see
Figure 4). Connect the remaining wires inside the
junction box from the power supply cable to the
matching colors of the appliance cable wires.

Improper connection of aluminum
house wiring to copper leads can result in a short
circuit or fire. Use only connectors designed for
joining copper to aluminum, and follow the
manufacturer's recommended procedure closely.

2. Ifconnecting to a 4-wire supply cable (also
mobile homes): The white neutral wire from the
power supply cable must not be connected to the
junction box.
Connect the green (or bare copper) wire from the
appliance cable and the supply cable (green or bare)
wire to the ground screw inside the junction box (see
Figure 5). Cap the white neutral wire from the power
supply cable. Connect the remaining wires inside the
junction box from the power supply cable to the
matching colors of the appliance cable wires.

Cooktop Installation
1. Visually inspect the cooktop for damage. Also make
sure all cooktop screws are tight (see Figure 6).
Screws

2. Set the cooktop into the countertop cutout.
NOTE: Do not use caulking compound; cooktop should
be removable for service when needed.
r!,vAvl_.Itl_ll_[=]lDo not remove the nylon spacers on
the edges of the cooktop. These spacers center the
cooktop in the space provided. The cooktop must
be centered to prevent excess heat buildup that
may result in heat damage or fire (see Figure 7).
