local codes. The following table provides the correct voltage, amperage, and frequency that
must be supplied to the appliance.

Step #4- Counter Top Preparation:
Please read this section carefully prior to making the counter cutout.
It is important to plan out your cook top installation keeping the following dimensions and
distances in mind when planning your installation.
Refer to cabinet/counter figure- Figure A below:
A- 13 inches maximum depth of overhead cabinets
B- 36 inches is minimum height of counter top above floor
C- The minimum flat counter top surface that the cook-top will rest upon must be equal to or
greater than the overall cook-top dimension (Please refer to the following page for overall
cook-top dimensions along with cut out 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 inches minimum when the bottom of wood or metal
cabinet is protected by not less than ¼ inch thick flame retardant mill board covered with not
less than NO.28 MSG sheet steel, 0.015-inch-thick stainless steel, 0.024-inch-thick
aluminum, or 0.020-inch-thick-copper
E- 1” minimum from back splash of countertop to edge of glass. (Refer to following page for
overall cook-top dimensions)

Warning: To eliminate the risk of burns or fire 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 inches beyond the bottom of the
cabinets.
!

Before making the counter top cutout, check for clearance. Check to see if the cook top 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 counter top must be provided to ensure
proper operation of the cook top. Heat transferred from the cook top bottom pan during
operation will overheat an improperly ventilated area.
2" MINIMUM
Allow a 2-inch minimum clearance between the bottom of the metal pan of the cook top and any
combustible surface located below for example the upper edge of a drawer installed below the
cook top. (See Figure below) Failure to provide proper clearances and ventilation may result in a
fire hazard.
Cook top dimensions along with counter top cut out dimensions are shown below for each
model. Please use the cutout template has been provided for assistance.
NOTE:
When installation occurs where a counter top is laminated (Formica )or synthetic (Corian
etc.) radius the corner of the cut out (1/4” radius is typical). This will prevent cracking of
your counter top. Follow the counter top manufacturer’s instructions regarding the minimum
corner radius and reinforcement corners. Use cutout template for layout.

Step #5- Installing the Cook Top:
Your Kenyon smooth glass ceramic cook-top is supplied with two mounting brackets (1 short
mounting bracket along with 1 long mounting bracket). These brackets are designed to hold
your cook top firmly in place. The cook top does not have a metal frame and should be bedded
to the counter top using a soft bedding compound that will prevent later removal without damage
should service be necessary. We recommend a very small bead of silicone sealant.
Attach the two mounting brackets supplied with your Kenyon Cook Top, as shown to the inside
vertical surface of the cutout. The long bracket should be mounted to the right side of cook top
(control side). Center the brackets in the opening, flush with the counter top, and secure with
long self tapping screws that are provided. Position the cook top in the cut out opening and press
firmly on all sides to seal the frame into the bedding compound. Secure the cook top to the
brackets from underneath with the small sheet metal screws that are supplied. BE CAREFUL
NOT TO OVER TIGHTEN THE SCREWS.

Step #6- 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 3
(Step #2) for appropriate electrical requirements. Kenyon Cook top is supplied with a 48 inch
long conduit for a connection to an accessible junction box. The conduit consists of three
insulated wires. There are two insulated hot lead conductors (both tinned copper) and one
insulated ground conductor (green-tinned copper)
Attach conductor wires to residence wiring in accordance with National Electric Codes, state,
municipal and local codes.
WARNING: GROUNDING
! The entire appliance must be grounded at all times when the electrical power
supply is on. Do not ground the appliance with the neutral house supply wire
(white). A separate ground must be used.
Step #7- Final Preparations/Prior to Use:
Clean the cook top before the first time you use it. A thorough cleaning with a recommended
cook top cleaner (such as Cerama Brite Cook-Top Cleaner) will get your new cook top off to a
good start. It takes just a minute and puts a clean, shiny coating on the cook top before its initial
use.
Please read the User’s Guide for important information on use and care of cook top along with
providing you with safety, service, and warranty information.
