Dear Customer:
Thank you for purchasing this induction cooktop by Summit Appliance. We expect
it to bring you many years of satisfied use. Please read this instruction manual
carefully before use and keep it in a safe place for future reference.
Working principle of an induction cooktop
Induction uses electromagnetic energy to heat cookware made of magnetic material (steel,
iron, nickel or various alloys). When the unit is turned on, the coils produce a high
frequency alternating magnetic field, which ultimately flows through the cookware.
Molecules in the cookware move back and forth rapidly, causing the cookware to become
hot and cook the food. The cooktop's glass-ceramic surface is unaffected by the magnetic
field since it contains no magnetic material. The heat of the pan will warm the glass;
however, the cooktop will remain much cooler to the touch than other smooth-top
surfaces.
Safety features of the induction cooktop
1. High-Temperature Protection
A temperature sensor monitors the temperature inside the induction cooktop. When
an excessive temperature is registered, the cooktop will stop operation automatically.
2. Detection of Small Cookware
If a pot is less than 120 mm (4.7”) in diameter, the induction cooktop may not work.
3. Auto shutdown protection
Auto shutdown is a safety protection function for your induction cooktop. It will shut
down automatically even if you forget to turn off your cooking. The induction cooktop
will shut down automatically if there is no operation within 2 hours.
When a pot is removed, the induction cooktop can stop heating immediately and shut
down after the buzzer sounds for 1 minute.
Reminder: Patients with pacemakers should check with their doctor before
using this product.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Keep these instructions handy for future use. If lost, this manual is available from our
website at www.summitappliance.com
Read these instructions carefully before installation or operation of the appliance. Failure
to follow these warnings could result in a fire or explosion that causes property damage,
personal injury or death. To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury, take the
following precautions:
Safety during Installation
This appliance must be installed by a qualified technician.
Have the professional installer show you the location of the circuit breaker or fuse.
Do not place the unit on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.
See INSTALLATION for additional safety requirements.
Intended Use
This appliance is for built-in household use only. Do not use outdoors or free-standing.
Do not use the appliance to heat a room.
Cooking Safety
Do not allow aluminum foil, paper or cloth to come in contact with a hot zone.
Do not allow pans to boil dry or empty.
Never leave the cooktop unattended when in use.
Always use the proper pot and pan size. The use of undersized cookware will expose a
portion of the hot zone, which can result in ignition of clothing or personal burns.
Always remove the covers on sealed or canned goods before heating to avoid
explosion.
Do not touch hot surfaces. Use dry pot holders to hold the handles of pots and pans.
Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
Cleaning Safety
When cleaning with a wet sponge or cloth, be careful to avoid burns from steam.
Do not clean the unit when it is still hot. Some cleaners may produce noxious fumes
when applied to a hot surface.
Condition of Unit
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug.
Do not cook on a broken cooktop, as cleaning solutions and spills may penetrate the
break and create the risk of electric shock.

Environment of Unit
To reduce the risk of fire, do not place any heating or cooking appliances beneath the
appliance.
To reduce the risk of fire, do not let any objects (glass, paper, etc.) obstruct the inlet
under your cooktop.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not mount unit over a sink.
To reduce the risk of fire, do not store anything directly on top of the appliance surface
when the appliance is in operation.
Always have a working smoke detector in or near the kitchen.
Do not leave lids or other metal objects on the cooktop. If the cooktop is turned on,
these objects can heat up quickly and may cause burns.
Do not place rough or uneven objects on the unit as they may damage the surface.
If the cooktop is near a window, ensure that curtains do not blow over or near the unit.
Do not use the cooktop as a work surface. Certain substances such as salt, sugar, or
sand can scratch the glass ceramic surface.
Do not store hard or pointed objects over the cooktop as they can damage the unit if
they fall on top.
Do not put detergents or flammable materials in the equipment installed under the
cooktop.
Power Cord Safety
To protect against electric shock, do not immerse cord, plugs, or main body in water or
any other liquid.
Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.
Do not allow cord to touch hot surface.
A short power supply cord or detachable power supply cord should be used to reduce
the risk of becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Service and Repair Safety
There are no user serviceable parts on this appliance. Only an authorized service
representative should attempt to service your cooktop.

INSTALLATION
1. Cut an aperture in the table surface in accordance with the sizes shown in the drawing.
For the purposes of installation and use, a minimum space of 50 mm (2”) should be
maintained around the hole. Be sure the thickness of the table surface is 20mm (0.8”)
max and the table is strong enough. Select heat-resistant table material to avoid
deformation caused by the heat radiation from the cooktop. As an alternative to the
method below, the cooktop can be flush-mounted provided the adjacent surface is
stainless steel or some other suitable heat-proof material. See Figure (1).
2. Ensure that the induction cooktop is well ventilated and the air inlet and outlet are not
blocked. Good ventilation is vital for a long service life of the induction cooktop
as shown in Figure (2). Be sure the induction cooktop is in good working order.
Notes: For safety, the distance between the cooktop and any cupboard above it should be
at least 760mm (30”).
Apply suitable sealant to secure the cooktop to the worktop and to prevent ingress of
water.
Caution
1. The induction cooktop must be installed by qualified personnel or technicians. Please
do not perform this operation yourself.
2. The induction cooktop must not be mounted on any cooling equipment, dishwasher,

rotary dryer or any other electrical appliance.
3. The wall and induced heating zone above the table surface must be able to withstand
heat.
4. To avoid any damage, the sandwich layer and adhesive must be resistant to heat.
Electrical connection:
This appliance must be installed by a qualified professional in accordance with National
Electrical Codes, as well as all state, municipal and local codes. The correct voltage,
frequency, and amperage must be supplied to the appliance from a dedicated grounded
circuit which is protected by a correctly sized circuit breaker or time delay fuse. Appliance
voltage, frequency, and amperage ratings are listed on the product rating plate.
For models SINC424220 and SINC430220, attach the leads to a power supply.
