 When making cut-out of countertop, radius the corner of the cutout (1/4” radius is typical),
to help prevent cracking of the countertop. Follow the countertop manufacturer’s instructions regarding the
minimum corner radius and reinforcement.

STEP #4
Installing the Cooktop
The cooktop is supplied with two metal mounting
brackets. These brackets are designed to hold the cooktop
rmly in place. The cooktop does not have a metal frame
and should be sealed to the countertop. Use a soft
bedding compound that will prevent damage if later
removal for service is necessary. We recommend a
nonadhesive type of sealant, such as plumber’s putty,
maximum compressed thickness of 1/16”. Silicone may
be used to seal the glass edge only, if desired.
Attach the two mounting brackets
as shown (see Fig D) to the inside
vertical surface of the cutout. The
brackets are to be mounted on opposing
sides. Center the bracket in the open-
ing, ush with the countertop and
secure with #6 self-tapping screws that
are provided. Position the cooktop in the
cutout opening and press rmly on all
sides to seal the glass 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.

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 for appropriate
electrical requirements. The cooktop is supplied with a sheathed harness for a connection to an accessible
junction box. The harness consists of three insulated wires. There are two insulated hot lead conductors
(both tinned copper) and one insulated ground conductor (green insulated-tinned copper).
Attach conductor wires to mains in accordance with national, state and local electric codes.
STEP #6
Final Preparations Prior to Use
Remove the plastic lm from the cooktop. Clean the cooktop before you use it for the rst time.
A thorough cleaning with a recommended cooktop cleaner (Cerama Brite Ceramic Cooktop Cleaner)
will provide a clean, shiny coating on the cooktop surface.

READ SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE OPERATING YOUR APPLIANCE
The cooking surface and control areas of your glass ceramic cooktop are identied by permanent
patterns in the cooktop. The appliance is easy to maintain and clean. Keeping the cooktop in top
performance can be achieved by following the simple guidelines for use and cleaning below:

Chances are 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 making your selection.
Cookware should have a at bottom. Although glass and other types of materials can be used, metal
utensils with thick bottoms will generally conduct the heat well. Aluminum and stainless steel cookware
usually work best. Avoid utensils with shaped and rounded bottoms, or those that warp when heated.
Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for
range-top service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.
Use cookware of the correct diameter only. The base of the pot or pan should be about as large in
diameter as the cooking zone on which it is used. By using utensils with the correct diameter, you should
achieve maximum heating efciency with the shortest boiling times.
Be certain that both the cooktop glass panel and the bottoms of your cookware are clean and dry
before use. By doing so, you will help prevent scratches and stains.
Cleaning
To help ensure that the KENYON cooktop stays clean, follow these easy-care tips:
Clean the cooktop before you use it for the rst time. A thorough cleaning with a recommended
cooktop cleaner (Cerama Brite Ceramic Cooktop Cleaner) will provide a coating on the cooktop prior to
its rst use. A sample is included with your Kenyon cooktop.
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, then wipe the
cooktop dry.
Do not use a dish towel or sponge to wipe off the cooktop. 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.

Smother re or ame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
Use only dry pot holders.
Moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let pot holder touch
the heating 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].

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.
Do not touch heating elements.
The heating elements on the cooktop may be hot even if they are dark in color. These areas may
be hot enough to cause burns. Never touch heating elements until they have had sufcient time to
cool. Likewise, never allow clothing or ammable materials to come in contact with heating elements
or cooktop surfaces until they have had sufcient time to cool. Other surfaces of the appliance may
become hot enough to cause burns.

This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of different size. Select utensils 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 utensil to burner will also improve efciency.
Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat Settings.
Boil-over causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.

HOT SURFACE INDICATORS
Your KENYON cooktop features a Hot Surface
indicator. Any element that has been in use and is
switched off will illuminate an indicator lamp. This
indicates that the glass surface of the cooktop is
still too hot to touch! The Hot Surface indicator
lamp will extinguish automatically after the glass
surface has had sufcient time to cool, determined
by the power level and time in use. HOT

AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF
The cooktop is programmed to power down if it is left unattended for an extended period of time. If left
on high (8), it will switch off after one hour if no control changes are made. This time period is dependant
upon the power level. The lower the power level, the longer the time period (maximum time is 2 hours).
The control will also power off after ten seconds if a heat setting is not selected upon initially applying
power to the cooktop.
HEAT BOOST
When an element is energized and a heat setting is selected, the Heat Boost feature is
activated and the element will stay at full power for the time duration in minutes indicated in the
