WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Death or serious injury can result from failure to follow these
instructions.
• Service by a qualified service technician only.
• Disconnect power before servicing this product.
• Reconnect all grounding devices after service.
• Replace all parts and panels before operating.
GROUNDING SPECIFICATIONS
Ground Path Resistance
0.10
Max.
Insulation Resistance
250 K Min.
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Power Supply
The cooktop must be connected to a supply circuit of the proper
voltage and frequency as specified on the rating plate. Wire size
must conform to the National Electrical Code or the prevailing local
code. The rating plate is located on the side of the component box.
WIRING
Built-in power leads are UL-approved for connection to larger
gauge household wiring. The insulation of these leads is rated
at temperatures much higher than the temperature rating of
household wiring. The current-carrying capacity of a conductor is
governed by the temperature rating of the insulation around the
wire rather than the wire gauge alone.
WARNING:
IMPROPER CONNECTION OF ALUMINUM
HOUSE WIRING TO THESE COPPER LEADS CAN RESULT IN
A SERIOUS PROBLEM. USE ONLY CONNECTORS DESIGNED
FOR JOINING COPPER TO ALUMINUM AND FOLLOW THE
MANUFACTURER'S RECOMMENDED PROCEDURE CLOSELY.
CERAMIC GLASS COOKTOP
If the glass is damaged it must be replaced in combination with
the touch board; these two components come from the factory as
a single assembly. Do NOT attempt to remove and reuse the touch
board. The display board and its light guides may be removed from
the old touch board and installed onto the new touch board.

TEMPERATURE LIMIT/HOT LIGHT SWITCH
The Temperature Limit/Hot Light Switch performs two functions:
1. Turns on HOT LIGHT as soon as glass temperature reaches 150º F. The
hot light will remain on until the glass surface above the heating unit
has cooled below 150º F (Even after surface unit switch has been turned
2. Detects when glass temperature above a unit has exceeded its limit of
approximately 1031º F and disconnects power to that unit. When glass
temperature cools below 1031º F, the unit will turn back on.
The temperature limit/hot light switch can not be calibrated.
HOT SURFACE INDICATOR LIGHT
When the glass temperature reaches 150º F the Hot Surface Indicator
Light is activated to alert consumer that glass Surface is too hot to
touch. The Hot Surface Indicator Light Is turned on by an additional set of
contacts within the temperature limiter.
