the induction.
2. Using the template, make the control panel cutout (5.7” x 2.7”)
through the plane or panel.
3. Place the control panel into the cutout hole. Using the (4) M5 x
18 mm wood screws provided, secure the control panel into place.
3. Install the (8) M5 x 4 5mm leveling screws provided.

Follow the below steps to mount the induction range:
1. Using the provided template, make the range cutout (13.5” x 12.7”)
through the underlayment below the countertop.
2. Place the induction range into the cutout. Install the mounting
bracket around the induction range using the provided (10) M5 x 18

Installation
Inspect all parts of the induction range prior to installation and use. If
the unit is damaged, do not use. Contact a supplier for a replacement.
Ensure dedicated power is available at the installed location.
The induction range must be mounted in a heat resistant countertop
(2” thick maximum) or base cabinet with the control panel mounted on
the front of that enclosure.
Proper ventilation is required for the unit to operate correctly. There
must be at least 4” clearance from front and sides; 7” clearance below
the induction range. Cabinets housing the induction range should have
intake and exhaust vents. For optimal performance, the inside
temperature of the cabinet should not exceed 90°F/32°C.

NOTICE:
Spring USA induction servers and induction ranges are
designed to work together as a system. Optimal
performance is achieved by using Spring USA
components in conjunction with each other. Spring USA
cannot guarantee the performance of facsimile products
offered by other companies.

Follow the below steps for operating the induction range:
1. Plug in the unit. Press the ON/OFF button.
2. Place the vessel on the countertop surface just above where the
induction range is hidden.
3. The LED lights above each setting will blink until a setting is pressed.
NOTICE:
As a safety feature, if no induction ready vessel is placed
on the surface after 2.5 minutes, the unit will shut off.
Operation
To operate the induction range and ensure the surface material remains
unaffected, approved vessels must be used with approved surfaces.
SmartStone™is Spring USA’s proprietary stone designed specifically to
work together with Spring USA vessels for maximum performance and
precision. SmartStone™is the preferred surface for use with the
MultiSurface Hidden Induction Range.
For other surfaces, refer to the below list for approved surfaces and
vessels that can be used with the Multisurface Hidden Induction Range.

Approved Surfaces & Vessels:
*Requires SurfaceGuard.
Spring USA’s SurfaceGuard, item #SES651, helps expand the
compatibility of the MultiSurface Hidden Induction Range with other
approved surfaces under 2 cm thick. The SurfaceGuard prevents
cracking or staining of the surface. When noted, the SurfaceGuard
should always be in place between the approved vessel and
approved surface for further protection.

Maintenance
Because the induction range is hidden, it is not necessary to remove it
from beneath the countertop and clean daily. Periodically check for any
obstruction to airflow.
If cleaning the induction range is deemed necessary, first ensure the
unit has been turned off, unplugged from the power source and has
cooled before handling. Remove the screws and mounting bracket so
the range is no longer mounted to the countertop.
Wipe down the unit with a sponge or cloth with a mild dishwashing
liquid. Dry with a clean, soft cloth. Do not immerse the induction
range directly in water for cleaning –this will damage the unit.
