The radiant cooktop features heating units beneath a smooth glass surface. NOTE: A slight odor is normal when a new cooktop is used for the first time. It is caused by the heating of new parts and insulating materials and will disappear in a short time. NOTE: On models with light-colored glass cooktops, it is normal for the cooking zones to change color when hot or cooling down. This is temporary and will disappear as glass cools to room temperature. The surface element will cycle on and off to maintain your selected control setting. It is safe to place hot cookware (from the oven or surface) on the glass cooktop when the surface is cool. Even after the surface elements are turned off, the glass cooktop retains enough heat to continue cooking. To avoid overcooking, remove pans from the surface elements when the food is cooked. Avoid placing utensils that could become hot or plastics that could melt on the surface element until it has cooled completely.

When making the wire connections, use the entire length of conduit provided. The conduit must not be shortened.

With the cooktop in place, open the front of the cabinet door.

Insert the wires from the conduit through the opening of the junction box.

Connect the red and black leads from the cooktop conduit to the corresponding leads in the junction box.

Once the connections are made, secure wires together using wire nuts. GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS: The bare ground wire in the conduit is connected to the cooktop frame. Effective January 1, 1996, the National Electrical Code will not permit grounding through neutral. If used in new construction after January 1, 1996 or in a mobile home, recreational vehicle or if local codes do not permit grounding through the neutral white lead, attach the appliance grounding lead (green or copper) to the residence grounding conductor (green or bare copper) in accordance with local codes. When connecting to a 3 conductor branch circuit, if local codes permit, connect the bare ground connector lead of the cooktop to the branch circuit neutral (gray or white in color). IMPORTANT: If the cooktop is being installed into a blind counter (one with no cabinet opening below), wire connections must be made before putting the cooktop into the cutout opening.
