NOTES:

• *H1: While the height of the cooktop recess without the glass top is 2 5/16″ (59 mm), please note a minimum 2″ (51 mm) gap is required between the bottom of the cooktop and combustible surfaces below (as outlined in the diagram on page 11). Considering this, the minimum recommended cut-out depth is 4 5/16″ (110 mm).
• **X: For the purpose of installation and use, a minimum of 2″ (51 mm) space shall be preserved around the entirety of the cutout
• Recommended cutout width (A) and depth (B) allows for the cooktop’s recess to fit with minimal distance on either side so the glass top may be firmly secured to the
• Be sure to carefully consider these critical dimensions before making an opening in the surface of your Since kitchen layouts vary, ZLINE recommends consulting with a professional installer to verify countertop dimensions before installing the appliance.

BEFORE INSTALLATION

To eliminate risk of burns or fire by reaching overheated surface units, cabinet storage space above the surface units should be avoided. If cabinet storage is to be provided, the risk can be reduced by installing a range hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5″ (127 mm) beyond the bottom of the cabinets.

MINIMUM CLEARANCES (GENERAL REQUIREMENT):

1. Building back wall
2. Top building cabinet
3. Control panel
4. Cooking surface
5. Building side wall
6. Base
7. Building side wall

A = 30″ (762 mm) minimum clearance between the top of the cooking surface and the bottom of a range hood or an unprotected wood or metal cabinet.
OR
A = 24″ (610 mm) minimum when bottom of wood or metal cabinet is protected by not less than 1/4″ (6 mm) thick flame retardant millboard covered with not less than No. 28 MSG sheet steel, 1/64″ (0.4 mm) thick stainless steel, 1/32″ (0.8 mm) thick aluminum, or 1/32″ (0.8 mm) thick copper.

PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION

• Cut out the work surface according to the sizes shown in the diagram on page
• Be sure the thickness of the work surface is at least 1 3/16″ (30 mm). Please select heat- resistant material to avoid deformation caused by the heat radiation from the

Ensure the table is capable of supporting the surface unit on the metal frame edge, as outlined in the diagram on page 8.

INSTALLATION

INSTALLING THE HEAT DEFLECTOR

NOTE: The heat deflector is only needed if the cooktop is installed less than 3″ (76 mm) above an oven or range, as it is designed to divert hot air between both units. To install:

1. Use a screwdriver to loosen the 2 screws from the bottom of the cooktop (as shown below):

2. Remove the 3M double-sided tape from the deflector and attach it to the bottom of the cooktop; the holes on the deflector should be aligned with the screw

3. Re-install the 2 screws to secure the deflector to the bottom of the cooktop.

ROOM VENTILATION

• The use of this appliance generates heat and humidity in the room/kitchen where it is Proper ventilation in the room is needed.
• An exhaust fan / range hood may be used with the appliance; in each case it shall be installed in conformity with the appropriate national and local Exhausthood operation may affect other vented appliances; in each case it shall be installed in conformity with the appropriate national and local standards.
• Intensive and continuous use of the appliance may require additional ventilation, for example by opening a
  Under all circumstances, make sure the cooktop is well ventilated and the air inlet and outlet are not blocked. Ensure the cooktop is in proper work state, as shown below.

INSTALLATION

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 diagrams on the previous page and “Boost” watts is the 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 being used above the rated
• Power sharing then activates, ensuring total watt usage stays at 7200W/9300W; to do so, the appliance will drop the Boost level to 9 and show the change on the display
• Power sharing tips: Select the power setting last for the cooking element you want to maintain at the highest heat When cooking two items at the same time, place one on an element in one section (the left side, for example) and the other item in another section (right side).

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

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 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

• If the appliance is being connected directly to the main power supply, an omnipolar circuit breaker must be installed with a minimum gap of 1/8″ (3 mm) between the

• The installer must ensure the correct electrical connection has been made and that it complies with safety

• The cable must not be bent or compressed and can only replaced by a qualified

• 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

INSTALLING THE FIXING BRACKETS

Secure the cooktop to the cabinet surface by securing the 4 provided fixing brackets and 4 Phillips-head screws on the bottom of the cooktop (see images below) after installation. Adjust bracket positions as needed to suit different surface thicknesses.

CAUTIONS
