This cooktop, like all appliances, has the potential to create safety problems
through careless and improper use. Please observe all of the following safety
precautions.
Please read these instructions in their entirety before
installation and use. The following information applies to all
KENYON Electric Cooktops.
Proper Installation.
Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualied technician.
Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.
CAUTION
Do not leave children alone.
Children should never 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. Do not let children play with
cooktop. Do not store items of interest to a child in cabinets above the cooktop, children
climbing on the cooktop to reach such items could be seriously injured.
Wear proper clothing/apparel.
Loose tting or hanging garments should never be worn while using the appliance. Fabric or other
ammable materials may contact hot surfaces during operation and may ignite and result in personal
injury.
User Servicing
Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance. If service ever becomes necessary, this
appliance should be serviced by AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY or call KENYON Customer
Care at [phone].
Storage in or on Appliance
Flammable materials should not be stored above, under or near surface cooking units.
Keep ammable materials away from cooktop.
Do not store plastic material (such as plastic utensils) in storage areas beneath cooktop.
Plastic items with low melting temperatures should not be stored under/over or near the cooktop.
Do not use water on grease res.
Smother re or ame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
1

Use only dry pot holders.
Moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let pot holders
touch the elements on the appliance. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of a pot holder.
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 an authorized service center or KENYON Customer Care
immediately at [phone].
Clean cooktop with caution.
Do not clean the cooktop while it is still hot. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot
cooking surface, be careful to avoid steam burns. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes if applied to
a hot surface. Read the cleaner label for details prior to using.
Use proper pan size.
This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of different size. Select cookware
having at 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 cookware to burner size will also improve efciency.
Never leave surface units unattended at high heat settings.
Boilover may cause smoking and greasy spillovers may ignite.
Glazed cooking utensils
Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable
for range-tip 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 ammable 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 use aluminum foil on the surface of the cooktop.
Cookware should always be dry.
Do not heat cookware with excess water droplets on the outside of the pan. The droplets may begin
to boil and splatter.
Do not touch surface units or areas near units.
Surface units may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface may become hot
enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other ammable
materials contact surface units or areas near units until they have had sufcient time to cool. Among
these areas are the heating elements and surrounding glass surface.
DO NOT DISCARD THESE INSTRUCTIONS, KEEP THEM
WITH THE KENYON COOKTOP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

STEP #3
Countertop Preparation
Please read this section prior to making cutout for cooktop.
It is important to plan ahead for installation of the cooktop, keeping the following dimensions in
mind (please refer to Figure A).
Warning: If the electric power supply does not meet the product
specications, consult with a licensed electrician before proceeding
with installation.
!
6

A - 13 inches maximum depth of overhead cabinets
B - 36 inches is minimum height of countertop above oor
C - The minimum at countertop surface that the cooktop will rest
upon must be equal to or greater than the overall cooktop
dimensions (refer to the following page for overall cooktop
dimensions).
D - 30 inches minimum clearance between the top of the cooking
surface and the bottom of an unprotected wood or metal cabinet or
24 inch minimum clearance when the bottom of the wood or metal
cabinet is protected by not less than 1/4-inch-thick ame retardant
millboard covered with not less than No. 28 MSG sheet steel,
0.015-inch-think stainless steel, 0.024-inch-thick aluminum or
0.020-inch-thick-copper.
E - 1-inch minimum from backsplash of countertop to edge of glass
(refer to the following page for overall cooktop dimensions).
FOR INSTALLATIONS IN CANADA: “Do Not Install Closer Than 1/2 Inch
(12mm) From Any Adjacent Surface”, and NE PAS INSTALLER A’MDINS DE 12MM
DETOUTE SURFACE ADJACENTE.
Warning: To eliminate the risk of burns by reaching over heated
surface units, cabinet storage space located above 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” beyond the bottom of the cabinets.
!
Before making the countertop cutout, check for clearance. Check to see if the cooktop will clear
the front and side walls of the base cabinet. It is also important to provide enough ventilation.
Adequate ventilation of the space below the
countertop must be provided to ensure
proper operation of the cooktop. Heat
transferred from the cooktop bottom pan
during operation will overheat an improperly
ventilated area.
Allow a 2” minimum clearance between the bottom of the metal pan of the cooktop and any
combustible surface located below, ie: the upper edge of a drawer installed below the cooktop
(see Fig. B). Failure to provide proper clearance and ventilation may result in a re hazard.

STEP #4
Installing the Cooktop
There are two mounting brackets supplied with the glass ceramic cooktop. These brackets are
designed to hold the cooktop rmly in place. The cooktop does not have a metal frame and
should be bedded to the countertop using a soft bedding compound that will prevent damage if
later removal for service is necessary. We recommend a very small bead of silicone sealant. If
mounting in granite countertop use only 100% silicone sealant.
Attach the two mounting brackets supplied with the KENYON cooktop (please refer to the gure
C on page 8) to the inside vertical surface of the cutout. The brackets are to be mounted on op-
posing sides. Center the bracket in the opening, ush with the countertop and secure with long
self-tapping screws that are provided. Position the cooktop in the cutout opening and press rmly
on all sides to seal the frame into the bedding compound. Secure the cooktop to the
brackets from underneath with the small sheet metal screws that are supplied.
BE CAREFUL NOT TO OVERTIGHTEN THE SCREWS.
STEP #5
Electrical Connection
Before proceeding further, verify that the power
supply is disconnected. Verify that the
appropriate electrical supply requirements have
been met. Please refer to the table on page
5 for appropriate electrical requirements. The
cooktop is supplied with a 36-inch long
conduit for a connection to an accessible
junction box. The 240V and 208V conduit
consists of three insulated wires. There are
two insulated hot lead conductors (red and
black) and one insulated ground conductor
(green). The 120V conduit consists of three
insulated wires. There is the hot lead
conductor (black), the nuetral conductor (white)
and one insulated ground conductor (green).
Attach conductor wires to residence wiring in
accordance with national, state and local
electric codes.

OPERATION
READ SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE OPERATING YOUR APPLIANCE
The cooking surface and control areas of your Lite-Touch™ Q cooktop are identied by
permanent patterns in the cooktop. The appliance is easy to maintain and easy to clean.
Keeping the cooktop in top performance can be achieved by following the simple guidelines for
use and cleaning below:
COOKWARE
Chances are that your existing cookware will work just ne with your glass ceramic cooktop.
Cooking on a glass ceramic cooktop does not require special pots or pans. Since cookware
plays an important role in cooking efciency and convenience, keep in mind the following
information when selecting your cookware.
The cookware should have a at bottom. Although glass and other types of cookware can be
used, metal cookware with thick, smooth, at bottoms will generally conduct the heat well.
Aluminum and stainless steel cookware usually works best. Avoid cookware with shaped and
rounded bottoms as well as utensils that warp when heated.
Use cookware of the correct diameter only. The base of the pot or pan should be about as wide
as the cooking zone on which it is used - not much wider or much narrower. By using utensils
with the correct diameter, you should achieve maximum heating efciency with the shortest pos-
sible boiling times.
Be certain that both the cooktop panel and the bottom of your pots and pans are clean and dry
before use. By doing so, you will help prevent scratches and stains.
LOCK MODE
1. In lock mode the heat setting cannot be raised, but can be lowered and the off function for
both elements and master power will still function for safety reasons. A light next to the “key”
graphic will indicate that the cooktop is locked and will remain illuminated while lock is activated.
Refer to gure D on Page 10.
2. To lock the cooktop, place nger on the circular area next to the key graphic and hold for 3
seconds. An audible beep will be heard and the light next to the key graphic will illuminate. The
cooktop is now locked.
3. To unlock the cooktop, touch the circular area next to the key graphic and hold for 3
seconds. An audible beep will be heard and the light next to the key graphic will go out. The
cooktop is now unlocked and all functions operate.
4. Lock mode is independent of all other functions and can be activated at any time, even if the
cooktop is in standby mode. Standby mode is when power is available to the cooktop but the
master power button is not activated. 11

INITIAL START-UP
The cooktop is designed with a 2 step ON, and 1 step OFF for safety reasons,
requiring at least 2 different touches of the controls to activate an element, but only one touch to
deactivate an element or the entire unit.
Clean the cooktop before you use it for the rst time. A thorough cleaning with our
recommended cooktop cleaner (Cerama Bryte Ceramic Cooktop Cleaner) will provide a
coating on the cooktop prior to its rst use. A sample is included with your Kenyon cooktop.
The cooktop surface should be free of any foreign substances before use.
CONTROLS OF LITE-TOUCH™ Q COOKTOP
To activate a heating element, rst the master power must be turned on by placing and holding a
nger over the circular area next to the master power graphic. An audible beep will be heard and
a light next to the master power graphic will illuminate. Then the desired element must be turned
on, by placing a nger over the circular area marked ON/OFF for that element. The same beep
will sound and a light will illuminate. Then the heat level is chosen, by
holding a nger over the circular areas marked with + or -. Touching the + rst will incrementally
set the heat level from settings 1 thru 8 with a beep and corresponding number of lights
illuminated. Touching the - rst will incrementally set the level from settings 8 thru 1 with a beep
and corresponding number of lights illuminated. When the desired heat level is reached the n-
ger is removed and the cooktop remains at that heat level. If an element is activated, but no heat
level chosen, the element will automatically turn off in 10 seconds.
To change the heat level place nger on + or - graphic of desired element to change heat level
incrementally up or down.
To deactivate an element, touch circular area marked ON/OFF to turn the element off. Also the
master power ON/OFF can be touched and the entire cooktop will be deactivated.

HOT SURFACE INDICATOR
A hot surface indicator light will illuminate when an element is energized and has been activated
for enough time to produce unsafe to touch temperatures of the cooking surface. The light will
remain illuminated until the surface is cool.
SAFETY THERMAL CUTOUT
Another safety feature of the Lite-Touch™ Q cooktop is the thermal cutout. If the temperature of
an element reaches unsafe levels, the thermal cutout will open and power to that element will be
turned off. This is an important safety feature designed to reduce the risk of runaway
temperatures and possible risk of re if a pot is boiled dry or unintentionally put on the cooktop
empty. When the element has cooled to a safe temperature the power will be restored
automatically.
MASTER OFF
To power off both elements simultaneously, touch the circular area next to the master power ON/
OFF graphic. Refer to gure D on page 10. This can be done without deactivation of the
elements if any are in operation, and is an important safety feature allowing the user a “one touch
off” in case of emergencies. All functions will no longer operate until the master power is turned
on again.

CLEANING
To help ensure that the KENYON cooktop stays clean, follow these easy-care tips:
Lock the cooktop before cleaning by touching and holding the key symbol for 3 seconds.
Always remove food spills, grease spatters and metal rub-off from cookware. A razor blade
scraper or the equivalent works well to remove spillovers.
Clean the cooktop with a paper towel or a clean, soft cloth and a recommended cleaner. After
cleaning, always wipe the cooktop with a clean, damp cloth to avoid cooked-on cleaner residue.
Wipe the cooktop dry.
Do not use a dish towel or sponge to wipe off the cooktop as a lm may be left by the detergent
and may cause discoloration of the cooktop surface.
Avoid abrasive scouring cleaners of any kind. Also avoid using plastic, nylon or metal cleaning
pads. They may scratch or melt onto the cooktop.
Avoid chemical cleaners such as chlorine bleach, ammonia, hydrouoric acid or chemical oven
cleaners. They can etch or discolor the surface.
Do not let anything that melts - plastic, aluminum foil, sugar, etc. come into contact with the
cooktop surface when it is hot. Should something melt onto the surface, immediately move it to a
cool area of the cooktop with a razor blade scraper and then remove it from the cooktop as soon
as possible.
Lite-Touch™ Q Maintenance
The Kenyon cooktop is a sealed unit that does not require regular maintenance. Please follow
our operating instructions as mentioned above. If your Lite-Touch™ Q requires service, this must
be preformed by Authorized Personnel only. Please call Kenyon Customer Care at
860-664-4906.
