Keep

this book for later use.

Be sure your counter unit is installed and grounded properly by a qualified technician.

Choose

pots and pans with flat bottoms, large enough

to cover the entire cooktop element. This will cut down

the risk of setting potholders or clothing on fire with an

uncovered element and waste less energy.

AIways

use care when touching the cooktop. The glass surface of the counter unit will retain heat after controls have been turned off. Be careful not to get burned.

Onily some kinds of glass or ceramic pans can be used

for cooktop cooking.

Be sure that the pan you use will

not break when heated on the cooktop elements.

Always

use dry potholders when removing pans from

the oven. Moist or damp potholders

can cause steam burns.

Always follow

cleaning Instructions in this book.

Always

keep the cooktop

area clear and free from

things that will burn, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.

LOCATIOH

Counter space must be provided for installation of the counter unit. When choosing a location, consider the following: o The cooktop should be easy to reach and lighted with natural light during the day_

To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over

reduced by installing a range hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5" beyond the bottom of the cabinets.

Cabinets installed above the counter

ELECTRmCAL

REQUIR MEHTS

We recommend that you have the electrical hookup of

your counter unit done by a qualified electrician. After installation, have the electrician show you where your

disconnect ts located.

Check with you r local utilities for electrical codes which

apply in your area. Failure to wire your unit according to

governing codes could result in a hazardous condition.

If there are no local codes, your counter unit must be wired

and fused

to meet the requirements of the

NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE, ANSt/NFPA NO. 70-

1990. You can get a copy by writing:

National Fire Protection Association

Batterymarch Park

Quincy, MA 02269

You must use a three-wire, single-phase A. C. 208Y/120

Volt or 120f240 Volt, 60 Hertz electrical system. If you

connect

to aluminum

wiring, properly installed connections listed for use with aluminum and copper wiring must be used.

Use a minimum wire size of No. 10 copper wire protected

with a 30 Amp. fuse or circuit breaker for' both 208Y/120

Volt and 120/240 Volt electrical systems.

INSTALLATION

Before installing the counter unit or moving it to another

location, have the electrician

verify:

.

That your home is provided with adequate electrical

service.

• That the addition of the counter unit witl not overload

the household

circuit on which it is used.

Cut the opening in the countertop.

Be sure to maintain

cutout

dimensions and minimum clearances as shown

on previous page. To minimizechipping

ofthe countertop you can apply masking tape before you make the cut.

Install an approved

junction box where it will be easily

reached through

the front

of the cabinet where the

counter unit will be located. The counter unit has 3 feet

of conduit_

IMPORTANT:

The junction box must be located

where

it will allow considerable slack in the conduit for serviceability, See Fig. 3.

Install the counter unit in the cutout opening.

Note: If

the unit is being installed in a blind counter (one with no

cabinet opening below), wire connections must be made

before putting the unit into the cutout.

Secure the tub of the counter unit to the counter with the

wood screws shipped

with the unit.

ELECTRICAL

CONNECTIONS

When making the wire con nections, use the entire length

conduit provided (3 feet)_ The conduit must not be cut.

Connect the red and black leads from the counter unit

conduit to the corresponding

leads in the junction in the

junction box.

The bare ground wire in the conduit is connected to the

counter unlt frame.

Connect the other end of this wire to a properly grounded cold water pipe or use another approved grounding method.

A white (neutral) wire is not needed for this unit. The

white lead from the household electrical supply can be

taped and terminated

in the junction box.

BE SURE THIS CUT DOES NOT

INTERFERE WITH CABINET

The electrical power to the supply line must be shut off while line connections

Failure to do so could result in serious injury or death.

Warm water, a mild detergent, and a soft cloth are safe to use on all cleanable parts of your counter unit. Do not use

metal scouring pads except where recommended.

Control knobs

Porcelain enameled cooktop

Chrome reflector bowls

Detergent, warm water, soft cloth

Detergent, warm water, paper towel, dry cloth

Detergent, water, ammonia, scouring pad

Do not use abrasive cleaners.

Knobs pull off for easier cleaning.

If acids (such as fruit juices, marinades) should spill on the unit while it is hot, use a dry paper towel or cloth to wipe them up right away° When the surface has cooled, wash and rinse. Polish with dry cloth. No matter how stubborn the stain, never use harsh

abrasive cleaners. They could permanently

damage the enamel surface. We recommend a cleanser such as Soft Scrub® brand or a similar cleaning product to keep porcelain surfaces looking clean and new. After cleaning, rinse well with a vinegar and water mixture.

This will help prevent a brown residue from forming when the oven is heated. Buff these areas dry with a dry cloth.

Clean after each spillover.

Rub gently with scouring pad. Wash the reflector bowls with water and soap after each use.

Stubborn stains may require an ammonia soaked paper towel.

Brushed chrome cooktop (some models)

............

Detergent, warm water, soft cloth or a chrome cleaner, or Sears Cooktop Cleaning

Creme

Do not scour chrome tops. Stubborn stains may be removed by using Espree Mag Wheel Cleaner® or

Turtle Wax Polishing Compound®.

To remove finger prints on brushed chrome, apply a little baby oll with a paper towel.

Rub in the direction of the brush marks. Armor All Protectant® can also be used (after cleaning).

Be sure to clean spills of acidic food quickly. Vinegar spills can permanently stain chrome.

if cleaning methods described above prove ineffective, baked-on food residue or stains on chrome cooktops

can be removed by using pad type oven cleaners.

Use extreme caution.

Oven cleaners are caustic and will damage painted or aluminum surfaces, such as range sides, backguard or control panel. Do not use spray type oven cleaners.

Overspray will damage nearby painted surfaces and heating elements. Use several layers of newspaper and masking tape to cover surfaces such as the backguard, control panel, range sides, countertops, etc. Remove cooktop elements (except solid disk elements), burner bowls, grates, etc. Apply the pad type oven cleaner evenly to the entire top surface.

The entire top must be cleaned to keep the finish consistent in color.

Use extreme caution to prevent the oven cleaner from coming in contact with a ny other surface.

Let the cleaner

remain on the top for 20-30 minutes.

Rinse the top well to remove every' trace of oven cleaner.

Dry the top and

apply Armor All Protectant® to protect the finish.

Glass

Glass cleaner and paper towels if you need additional cleaning for spotting, wash with equal parts white vinegar and warm water; rinse well and dry.

Remove stubborn soil with paste of baking soda and water.

Do not use abrasive cleaners.

Rinse thoroughly.
