A minimum clearance of 5/8" (1.6 cm) is required between the cabinet wall and the side of the control box. If using a small cabinet, position the template carefully in order to avoid interference between the product and the cabinet.
☐ Ensure that the desired sink location has adequate clearance to the backsplash, faucet, sink, and cabinet.

NOTE: The marks made in tracing the template may be hidden by the cook sink mounting ring. Use care if using an indelible marker.

☐ Use the supplied template (1031440-7) to mark the location for the two cutouts on the cabinet.
□ Drill starter holes for the saw in each of the cutouts.
□ Use a saber saw or equivalent to cut out the holes for the cook sink and control.

Preparation (cont.)

☐ Temporarily install the sink in order to verify fit and position. Ensure that the sink fits in the hole.
□ Verify the fit and position of the escutcheon. Ensure that the control fits in the hole.
□ Remove the sink and the escutcheon. Store the components safely.

NOTE: The spout must be a minimum of 9" (22.9 cm) long and 13-7/8" (35.2 cm) high for adequate clearance into basins.

□ If installing faucets or other accessories, install them with adequate clearance in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

7. Operation

CAUTION: Risk of product damage. Never operate the cook sink without water in the vessel.

CAUTION: Risk of Property damage This cook sink is designed to be used with cookware that is immersed into the heating water in the cook sink. Do not use the cook sink to cook foods directly. Food residues may not be easily removed.

Preliminary Actions

NOTE: Carefully study your Homeowners Guide before operating your cook sink.

□ Remove any adhesive labels on the supplied components.
☐ Turn the drain knob clockwise to the closed position.
☐ Fill the cooking vessel half full with clean water.

Check Drain Operation

A single flashing power setting LED is an indication that the cook center is ready to operate. The Cook Center will start to operate as soon as the temperature setting is increased above the minimum.

□ Close the feeder circuit breaker for the cook sink.
□ Push the power switch button.
□ Verify that the bottom LED is flashing.
□ Turn the drain knob counterclockwise to drain the cook sink.

Operation (cont.)

□ Verify that the cook sink drains completely.
☐ Inspect the cooking vessel drain connections for leakage. Repair any leaks.
☐ Close the drain and fill the cooking vessel half full of water again.

Check Cooking Operation

□ Observe that the bottom power setting LED remains flashing.

Steady LED illumination indicates that the unit is operating. The more LED segments are illuminated, the hotter the cook sink temperature. Experience with the unit will help in setting the desired cooking temperature. Each of the 10 LEDs indicates that about 10% of the available heating power is in use. When all LEDs are illuminated, the unit is at 100% of capacity.

☐ Press the power up button for about one second to increase the temperature setpoint.
□ Observe that the LEDs are now illuminated without flashing.

The power up and the power down buttons operate one step at a time when pressed for a short period of time. That is, each time the button is pressed quickly, the heat setting increases or decreases by about 10%. If either button is held down for more than about one second, then the power will change in steps. The setting will increase or decrease at a rate of about one step per 0.3 seconds. The heat setting can be set at maximum or at minimum by holding the desired button down for a few seconds.

☐ Increase the power setting by pressing the power up button for a few seconds.
□ Observe that all LEDs are now illuminated.
☐ Press the power down button for about one second to decrease the temperature setpoint.
□ Observe that fewer LEDs are now illuminated.

The hot pot indicator illuminates when temperature exceeds about 140^ F ( 60^ C). This indication is provided for safety and remains on until the temperature drops below about 140^ F ( 60^ C). The indicator remains on when the temperature is above setpoint even though the power switch is pressed to stop the heating.

□ Increase the temperature setpoint to maximum.

The cook sink has over-temperature protection. If the sink temperature

Operation (cont.)

increases above about 250^ F ( 121^ C), all 10 Power Setting LEDs start flashing. If the temperature remains high for more than another two minutes, the cook sink stops heating automatically.

□ Observe that, after a period of time, the hot pot indicator illuminates.
□ Observe that, after a period of time, the water begins to boil.
□ Verify that the LEDs are not now flashing.
☐ Press the power down button for several seconds to decrease the temperature.
☐ When the water has cooled significantly below boiling, drain the cook sink.
□ Observe that, after a period of time, the hot pot indicator extinguishes.

8. Clean Up

CAUTION: Risk of product damage. Do not use abrasives on this product. Abrasive materials can scratch and ruin the surface finish.

NOTE: Refer to your Homeowners Guide for detailed cleaning instructions and recommended cleaners.

□ Remove any construction materials or debris.
□ Clean the sink with a non-abrasive cleaner.
