  o Never immerse the removable heating elements in water or any other liquid

• Do not use water on grease fires.

• Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

• Use only dry potholders.

• Damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch the heating elements on the appliance. Do not use a towel or other bulky  cloth in place of a potholder.

• Do not cook on a broken cooktop.

• If your cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Immediately contact an authorized  service center or call the SUMMIT Customer Service at 1-800- 932-4267.

• Clean cooktop with caution.

• If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking surface, be careful to avoid steam burns. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface. Read the cleaner label  for details prior to use.

• DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS.

• The heating elements on the cooktop may be hot even if they are dark in color. These areas may be hot enough to cause burns. Never touch heating elements until they  have had sufficient time to cool. Likewise, never allow clothing or flammable materials to come in contact with heating elements or the cooktop surface until they have  had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to cause burns.

• Use proper pan size.

• This appliance is equipped with one or more 6″-diameter surface units. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element. The  use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the heating element to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing.

• Proper relationship of utensil to burner will also improve efficiency.

• Never leave surface units unattended at high heat settings.

• Boil-over causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.

• Utensil handles should be turned inward and not extend over adjacent surface units.

• To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of a utensil should be positioned so  that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface units.

• These cooktops are for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.

WARNING
The entire appliance must be grounded at all times when the electrical power supply is on.
Connect the red to red, black to black and green to ground. Do not ground the appliance with the neutral house supply wire. A separate ground must be used.

Countertop Preparation
Before installing your cooktop, be mindful of the proper dimensions and clearances needed to ensure safe use and operation. Refer to the dimensions below, in accordance  with Fig. 2:
A. 13” maximum depth of overhead cabinets.
B. 36” minimum height of the countertop above floor.
C. NOTE: The minimum flat countertop surface that the cooktop will rest upon must be equal or greater than the overall cooktop dimensions. Refer to the following pages  for overall cooktop dimensions.
D. 30” minimum clearance between the top of the cooking surface and the bottom of an unprotected wood or metal cabinet or 24” minimum clearance when the bottom of  wood or metal cabinet is protected by no less than ¼-inch-thick flame retardant millboard covered with no less than No. 28 MSG sheet steel, 0.015” thick stainless steel,  0.024” thick aluminum or 0.020” thick copper.
E. 1” minimum from the backsplash of the countertop to edge of glass cooktop. Refer to the following pages for overall cooktop dimensions. 

CAUTION: Do not install the cooktop closer than ½” (12mm) from any adjacent surface.

• Cabinets located above the surface of the cooktop should be avoided to eliminate the risk of burns caused by reaching over the heated cooktop. If cabinet storage is  necessary, the risk of burns or fire can be reduced by installing a range hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5” out beyond the bottom of the cabinets.

• Before making the countertop cutout, check for clearance. Check to see if the cooktop will clear the front and side walls of the base cabinet. It is also important to provide  enough ventilation.

• Adequate ventilation of the space below the countertop must be provided to ensure proper operation of the cooktop. Heat transferred from the cooktop bottom pan during  operation will overheat an improperly ventilated area.
  

• Allow a 2” minimum clearance between the bottom of the metal pan of the cooktop and any combustible surface located below, i.e.: the upper edge of a drawer installed  below the cooktop (refer to Fig. 3). Failure to provide proper clearances and ventilation may result in a fire hazard.

• Cooktop dimensions and countertop cutout dimensions for each model are shown below:
  

NOTE: When making the countertop, radius the corner of the cutout (1/4” radius is typical). This will prevent cracking of the countertop. Follow manufacturer’s  instructions regarding minimum corner radius and reinforcement of corners.

Installation

1. Attach the self-adhesive sealant as described below. The sealant prevents liquid from infiltrating into the cabinet. Additionally, the cooktop should be bedded to the  countertop using a soft bedding compound that will prevent damage if later removal for service is necessary. The mounted special seal prevents this damage. Strictly  comply with the following instructions in order to correctly apply this seal:
   a. Detach the seals from their backing, checking that the transparent protection still adheres to the seal itself.
   b. Turn the cooktop over and correctly position the seal under the edge of the cooktop so that the outer side of the seal aligns with the outer peripheral edge of the  cooktop (refer to Fig.
   5). The ends of the strips must fit together without overlapping.
   c. Fix the seal to the cooktop evenly and securely, pressing it in place with your fingers.
   

2. Attach the mounting brackets to the inside bottom surface of the cutout (refer to Figs. 6-7-8).
   The brackets are to be mounted on opposing sides.

3. Center the bracket in the opening flush with the countertop, and secure with long self-tapping screws (included).

4. Position the cooktop in the cutout opening and press firmly on all sides to seal the frame into the bedding compound.

5. Secure the cooktop to the brackets from underneath with the small sheet metal screws that are supplied. There are two mounting brackets for the single and double glass

6. ceramic cooktops and four brackets for the triple glass ceramic cooktop.

7. These brackets are designed to tighten the cooktop and then seal it onto the counter to avoid any movement of the cooktop and to provide good insulation.
   

OPERATION

The cooking surface areas of your glass ceramic cooktop are identified by permanent patterns in the cooktop. Keeping the cooktop at top performance levels can be achieved by following the simple guidelines for use and cleaning below.
Heating Elements
This cooktop contains radiant heating elements, which will “light up” about 4-5 seconds after being turned on. The special design of these elements directs the heat up  through the ceramic glass, providing efficient cooking. Temperature limiters are included in each element to ensure that the safe operating temperature of the ceramic glass  top is not exceeded. The temperature limiter will cycle the radiant element on and off to prevent exceeding the maximum safe surface temperature.
Cookware
Cooking on a glass ceramic cooktop does not require special pots or pans. Since cookware plays an important role in cooking efficiency and convenience, keep in mind the  following information when selecting your cookware.

• The cookware should have a flat bottom. Although glass and other types of cookware can be used, aluminum, stainless steel and other types of metal cookware, with thick,  smooth, flat bottoms usually work best. Avoid cookware with shaped and rounded bottoms, as well as utensils that warp when heated.
• Use cookware that is about as wide as the cooking zone on which it is used. Using cookware with the correct diameter achieves maximum heating efficiency in the shortest  possible time.
• Be certain that both the cooktop surface and the bottom of your pots and pans are clean and dry before use. By doing so, you will help prevent scratches and stains.

Controls and Indicators
The cooking area controls begin at low and increase heat output by cycling the heating elements between OFF and full power as you turn the knob clockwise. The heating  elements will stay at full power for longer periods and at zero power for shorter periods as you turn the knob clockwise, thus increasing the heat output.
There is a light next to each of the control knobs that provides an indication of burner operation and a hot surface. When a control is in the ON position, the red light is lit  indicating which burner is on and is therefore too warm to touch.
DO NOT place articles other than cookware on the cooking surface while this light is glowing.

CLEANING

To help ensure that your cooktop stays clean, follow these easy-care tips:
Clean the cooktop before you use it for the first time. A thorough cleaning with a recommended cooktop cleaner will provide a coating on the cooktop prior to its first use.
Always remove food spills, grease spatters and metal rub-off from cookware. A razor blade scraper or the equivalent works well to remove spillovers.
Clean the cooktop with a paper towel or a clean, soft cloth and a recommended cleaner. After cleaning, always wipe the cooktop with a clean, damp cloth to avoid cooked-on cleaner residue.
Wipe the cooktop dry.
Do not use a dish towel or sponge to wipe off the cooktop. A film may be left by the detergent and may cause discoloration of the cooktop surface.
Avoid abrasive scouring cleaners of any kind. Also avoid using plastic, nylon or metal cleaning pads. They may scratch or melt onto the cooktop.
Avoid chemical cleaners such as chlorine bleach, ammonia, hydrofluoric acid or chemical oven cleaners. They can etch or discolor the surface.
Do not let anything that melts – plastic, aluminum foil, sugar, etc., come into contact with the cooktop surface when it is hot. Should something melt onto the surface,  immediately move it to a cool area of the cook top with a razor blade scraper and then remove it from the cooktop as soon as possible.
