General Safety
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to
unintentional contact with pots and pans, handles should be positioned so they are
turned inward and do not extend over adjacent surface units.
• Do not cook on a broken cooktop, as cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate
the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock.
• Clean your cooktop with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on
a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burns. Some cleaners can produce
noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
• Do not use a steam cleaner or high-pressure cleaners to clean your cooktop. Do not
use scourers or harsh abrasive cleaning agents, as these can scratch the ceramic
glass.
• Do not place metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons, or lids on the cooktop
surface since they can get hot and increase risk of burns.
• DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR UNITS. Surface units may be

Power Sharing and Wiring
POWER SHARING
• Power sharing happens when the total amount of watts is above the rated wattage, which
is 7200W for RCIND-24 and RCIND-30 and 9300W for RCIND-36. Max watts is the first
number in the diagram on the previous page and "Boost" watts is second number.
• Power levels 3 through 9 use the max watts on the burner being used. When using three
burners at once above power level 3 — and then adding a fourth on Boost — this will
combine the total wattage being used above the rated 7200W.
• Power sharing will then activate, ensuring the total watt usage stays at 7200W; to do so, the
appliance will drop that Boost level to 9 and show the change on the display panel.
CONNECTING THE COOKTOP TO THE MAIN POWER SUPPLY
• The power supply should be connected in compliance with the relevant standard, or a single-
pole circuit breaker. The method of connection is shown below.

• If the cable is damaged or needs replacing, this should be done only by a qualified technician
using the proper tools, so as to avoid any accidents.
• If the appliance is being connected directly to the main power supply, an omnipolar circuit
breaker must be installed with a minimum gap of 0.12" between the contacts.
• The installer must ensure the correct electrical connection has been made and that it complies
with safety regulations.
• The cable must not be bent or compressed and can only replaced by a qualified technician.
NOTE: If your home has a 4-wire system, under no circumstances should the neutral line be
connected to the ground, as it may result in injury and fire.
