Warning: If the electric power supply does not meet the
product specifications, consult with a licensed electrician
before proceeding with installation.

STEP #3
Countertop Preparation
Please read this section prior to making cutout for cook top.
It is important to plan ahead for installation of the cook top, keeping the following dimensions
in mind (please refer to Figure A).
Fig. A
A- 13 inches maximum depth of overhead cabinets
B - 36 inches is minimum height of countertop above floor
C - The minimum flat countertop surface that the cook top will
rest upon must be equal to or greater than the overall
cooktop dimensions(refer tothe followingpage foroverall
cook top 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 wood or metal cabinet is protected by not less
than 1/4-inch-thick flame retardant millboard 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-inch minimum from backsplash of countertop to edge of
glass (refer to the following page for overall cook top
dimensions).
FOR INSTALLATIONS IN CANADA: “Do Not Install Closer Than 1/2
Inch (12 mm) 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 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
countertop 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.

!
Fig.B

Allow a 2” minimum clearance between the bottom of the metal pan of the cook top and any
combustible surface located below, ie: the upper edge of a drawer installed below the
cook top (see Fig. B on previous page). Failure to provide proper clearances and ventilation
may result in a fire hazard.
Cook top dimensions and countertop cutout dimensions for each model are shown below:
Note:
When making countertop,radius
the corner of the cutout (1/4” radius
is typical). This will prevent cracking
of the countertop. Follow the
countertop manufacturer’s
instructions regarding the minimum
corner radius and reinforcement of
corners.

STEP #4
Installing the Cook Top
There are two mounting brackets supplied with the glass ceramic cook top. These brackets
are designed to hold the cook top firmly in place. The cook top 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 sili-
cone sealant.
Attach the two mounting brackets supplied with the KENYON cook top (as shown) to the
inside vertical surface of the cutout. The brackets are to be mounted on opposing sides.
Center the bracket in the opening, flush with the countertop and secure with long self-tapping
screws that are provided. Position the cook top in the cutout opening and press firmly 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 2 for appropriate electrical requirements. The 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 insulated-tinned copper).
Attach conductor wires to residence wiring in accordance with national, state andlocal
electric 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 #6
Final Preparations Prior to Use
Remove the plastic film from the cook top. Clean the cook top before you use it
for the first time. A thorough cleaning with a recommended cook top cleaner
(Cerama Brite Ceramic Cook Top Cleaner) will provide a clean, shiny coating on the
cook top surface.
The next section of the manual covers cook top use, maintenance, safety and service
information.
Please keep these instructions with the KENYON cook top for future reference.

USER’S GUIDE & CARE
SAFETY
Read this section BEFORE operating the cook top.
The following information applies to all KENYON
Electric Cook Tops.
•Proper Installation
Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician.
•Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.
•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 store items of interest to a child in cabinets above cook top. Children
climbing on the cook top to reach such items could be seriously injured.
•Wear proper clothing/apparel.
Loose fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using the appliance.
•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] .
•Keep flammable materials away from cook top.
•Do not store plastic material (such as plastic utensils) in storage areas
beneath cook top.
Plastic items with low melting temperatures should not be stored under/over or
near the cook top.
7
This cook top, like all appliances, has the potential to create safety problems
through careless and improper use. Please observe all of the following
safety precautions.

•Do not use water on grease fires.
Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
•Use only dry potholders.
Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not
let potholder touch the heating elements on the appliance. Do not use a towel or
other bulky cloth in place of a potholder.
•Do not cook on broken cook top.
If cook top should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken
cook top and create a risk of electric shock. Contact an authorized service center
or KENYON Customer Care immediately at [phone].
•Clean cooktop with caution.
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 cook top 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 sufficient time to cool. Likewise, never allow clothing or
flammable materials to come in contact with heating elements or cook top
surfaces until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the
appliance may become hot enough to cause burns.
•Use proper pan size. This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of
different size. Select utensils having flat 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 rela-
tionship of utensil to burner will also improve efficiency.
•Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat Settings. Boilover causes
smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
•Utensil Handles Should be Turned Inward and Not Extend Over Adjacent
Surface Units. To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable 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.
Please keep these instructions with the KENYON cook top for future reference.

OPERATION
READ SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE OPERATING YOUR APPLIANCE
The cooking surface areas of your glass ceramic cook top are identified by permanent
patterns in the cook top. The appliance is easy to maintain and easy to clean. Keeping the
cook top 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 fine with your glass ceramic cook top.
Cooking on a glass ceramic cook top does not require special pots or pans. Since cookware
plays an important role in cooking efficiency and convenience, keep in mind the following
information when selecting your cookware.
The cookware should have a flat bottom. Although glass and other types of cookware can
be used, metal cookware with thick, smooth, flat 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 efficiency with the
shortest possible boiling times.
Be certain that both the cook top 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.
Heating Elements
This KENYON cook top contains ribbon-type, radiant heating elements. The radiant
elements will “light up” about 4-5 seconds after being turned on. The special design of
these elements direct the heat up through the ceramic glass providing efficient cooking.
Temperature limiters are included in each element to ensure that the safe operating
temperature of the ceramic glass top is not exceeded. The temperature limiter will cycle the
radiant element off to prevent exceeding the maximum surface temperature.
Knobs & Indicator Lights
The cooking area controls are called “infinite” controls. This type of control has an infinite
selection of heat settings. The control settings begin at low and increase heat output by
cycling the heating elements between “off” and full power as you turn the knob clockwise.
The heating elements will stay at full power for longer periods and at zero power for shorter
periods as you turn the knob clockwise, thus controlling the heat output.
9

Knobs & Indicator Lights (continued)
There are a series of lights that provide indications of burner operation and hot surfaces.
These lights are located adjacent to the control knobs. When the control is in the “on”
position, a red light is lit indicating which burner is on.
For your safety, we have incorporated a “HOT” indicator light. When lit, this light indicates
that some part of the glass ceramic cook top is too warm to touch or place articles upon. Do
not place articles other than cookware on the cooking surface whilethis light is glowing.
Cleaning
To help ensure that the KENYON cook top stays clean, follow these easy-care tips:
Clean the cook top before you use it for the first time. A thorough cleaning with our
recommended cook top cleaner (Cerama Brite Ceramic Cook top Cleaner) will provide a
coating on the cook top prior to its first use. A sample is included with your Kenyon cook top.
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 cook top with a paper towel or a clean, soft cloth and a recommended cleaner.
After cleaning, always wipe the cook top with a clean, damp cloth to avoid cooked-on
cleaner residue. Wipe the cook top dry.
Do not use a dish towel or sponge to wipe off the cook top. A film may be left by the
detergent and may cause discoloration of the cook top surface.
Avoid abrasive scouring cleaners of any kind. Also avoid using plastic, nylon or metal
cleaning pads. They may scratch or melt onto the cook top.
Avoid chemical cleaners such as chlorine bleach, ammonia, hydrofluoric 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
cook top 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 cook top as soon as possible.
