Safety Information  
As with all appliances, there are certain rules to follow  
for safe operation. Verify everyone who operates the  
cooktop is familiar with the operations and with these  
precautions.  
!
WARNING  
Surface Cooking  
Use appliance only for its intended purpose as  
described. Pay close attention to the safety sections of  
this manual.  
1. Use the proper pan size. Select utensils with flat  
bottoms large enough to cover the element.  
Undersized utensils will expose the element to direct  
contact with clothing.  
2. Never leave surface units unattended. Boilovers can  
cause smoking and may ignite.  
Recognize the safety section by looking for the symbol  
or the word safety.  
3. To reduce risk of burns, ignition of flammable  
materials or spillage due to unintentional contact,  
utensil handles must be turned inward and not  
extend over adjacent surface.  
4. Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic,  
earthware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for  
cooktop use. Unsuitable utensils may break due to  
the sudden temperature change.  
5. Clean cooktop with caution. To avoid steam burns,  
do not use a wet sponge or cloth to wipe up spills on  
a hot cooking area.  
6. Do not place aluminum foil or foods packaged in  
aluminum foil directly on element.  
Recognize this symbol as a safety precaution.  
!
!
WARNING  
General  
1. The cooktop must be installed and/or repaired by an  
authorized installer or servicer.  
2. Never use the cooktop for warming or heating the  
room.  
3. Do not store items on the cooktop. Items stored on  
the cooktop can become too hot and melt.  
4. Wear proper apparel. Loose fitting or hanging  
garments should never be worn while using  
cooktop.  
5. Do not repair or replace any part of the cooktop  
yourself unless it is recommended in this manual.  
6. Flammable materials should not be stored near  
cooktop.  
Safety Procedures  
!
WARNING  
To avoid risk of electrical shock, property damage,  
personal injury or death; verify wiring is correct, if  
components were replaced. Verify proper and  
complete operation of unit after servicing.  
Due to the nature of cooking, fires can occur as a  
result of overcooking or excessive grease. Although a  
fire is unlikely, if one occurs proceed as follows:  
7. Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders  
on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do  
not let a potholder touch an element. Do not use a  
towel or a bulky cloth as a potholder.  
Surface Element Fires  
1. Do not turn on the vent hood. The fan can spread  
the flames.  
2. If it is safe to do so, turn the surface element to  
OFF. Turn off main electrical supply.  
3. Smother the fire with nonflammable lid or use a  
Class “ABC” or “BC” fire extinguisher. Do not use  
water on a grease fire.  
Installation and service must be performed by an  
authorized installer, service agency or gas supplier.

Safety Information  
Safety Practices for Servicer  
Safe and satisfactory operation of electric cooktops  
depends upon its design and proper installation.  
However, there is one more area of safety to be  
considered:  
Electrical Requirements  
220-volt, 60 Hertz, individual circuit which is properly  
grounded, polarized and protected by a circuit breaker  
or fuse.  
The neutral of this unit is grounded to the frame through  
the solid copper grounding wire. If local conditions do  
not permit grounding of the neutral, untwist or  
disconnect the solid copper wire and connect the soild  
copper wire to ground in accordance with local codes.  
Connect the white neutral to the service neutral.  
Before Installing  
Installing the electric cooktop in compliance with local  
electrical building codes results in proper operation and  
consumer satisfaction with the cooktop.  
Electrical Connection  
Receiving Cooktop  
All wire connections must be in accordance with local  
codes. Use National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No.  
70-Latest Edition in the absence of local codes.  
• Inspect cooktop thoroughly at time of delivery.  
• Immediately report any visible damage to carrier.  
• Damage not discovered until after accepting delivery  
can still be claimed by using a concealed damage  
report form, available from the carrier’s agent.  
All shipments, i.e., complete cooktop or parts, are  
shipped at the buyer’s risk. Maytag responsibility ends  
when the consignment is accepted by the carrier in  
“good order.” Maytag supports damage claims by  
supplying invoices, bills of loading and other  
documentation as needed. Providing this assistance,  
however, does not imply any responsibility for settling  
claims.  
A three-wire, single phase, 120/240 VAC 60 Hz, electric  
system (properly circuit protected to meet local Codes of  
NFPA No. 70) must be provided. The chart below  
recommends the minimum circuit protector and wire  
size if the appliance is the only unit on the circuit. If  
smaller sizes of wire is used, the efficiency will be  
reduced and a fire hazard may be created. It is  
advisable that the elctrical wiring and hookup be  
completed by a certified electrian.

Resistance / Continuity  
A malfunction in the internal switching may fuse the  
cycling contacts. This causes the heating element to  
operate at full power, at all control settings, while cycling  
on element limiter.  
Use the appropriate wiring diagram to repeat this  
procedure from the output of the control to the next point  
until each wire section is checked. Often a visual check  
of the wiring will determine where a wiring fault is.  
1. Disconnect power from cooktop.  
2. See “Disassembly Procedure“ to access switch.  
3. Connect voltmeter test lead to H1 and H2 terminals.  
4. Connect appliance to power source.  
5. Set control to any setting. Meter should indicate  
120 VAC volts. After allotted ON cycle, contacts  
should cycle open and indicate 0 VAC.  
Indicator Light  
1. If the surface unit operates normally but the indicator  
lights do not glow, check for voltage at the indicator  
light terminals.  
2. If voltage is present at the indicator terminals and the  
indicator does not glow, replace the indicator light.  
3. If no voltage is present at the terminals, check for

Installation Instructions  
Installing Cabinetry Over Your Cooktop  
Electrical Wiring Information  
A = 30" (76.2 cm) minimum clearance between the top of The neutral of this unit is grounded to the frame through  
the cooktop and the bottom of an unprotected wood or  
metal cabinet.  
the solid copper grounding wire. If used on new branch-  
circuit installations (1996 NEC), mobile homes,  
recreational vehicles, or in an area where local codes  
prohibit grounding through the neutral conductor, untwist  
or disconnect the solid copper wire and connect the  
ground wire to ground in accordance with local code.  
Connect the white neutral to the service neutral. Connect  
all wires to the branch circuit with approved connectors.  
Use copper or aluminum wire. If aluminum wire is used,  
use connectors recognized for joining aluminum to  
copper.  
A = 24" (60.96 cm) minimum when bottom of wood or  
metal cabinet is protected by not less than 1/4" (0.635  
cm). FLAME RETARDANT millboard covered with not  
less than no. 28 MSG sheet steel, 0.015" (0.038 cm)  
stainless steel, 0.024" (0.061 cm) aluminum or copper.  
* To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over  
heated surface units, cabinet storage space located  
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 inches beyond the bottom of the  
cabinets.  
Proper Electrical Supply  
You must provide an adequate electrical supply system  
as required for your cooktop. All wire connections must be  
in accordance with local codes and properly insulated.  
Check with local utility for governing electrical codes and  
ordinances. In the absence of local electrical codes, the  
National Electrical Code, NFPA No. 70, governing electric  
range installations must be followed.  
A copy of the National Electrical Code, NFPA No. 70, can  
be obtained by writing to:  
A*  
National Fire Protection Association  
Batterymarch Park  
Quincy, Massachusetts 02269  
A three-wire, single phase, A.C. 120/240 volt 60 cycle  
electrical system (properly circuit protected to meet Local  
Codes of NFPA No. 70) must be provided. Unit must be  
properly grounded in accordance with local wiring code.  
The chart below recommends the minimum circuit  
protector and wire size if the appliance is the only unit on  
the circuit. If smaller sizes of wire are used, the unit  
efficiency will be reduced and a fire hazard may be  
created. It is advisable that the electrical wiring and  
hookup be accomplished by a competent electrician.  
Important Installation Suggestions  
1. Chamfer all exposed edges of decorative laminate to  
prevent damage from chipping.  
2. Radius corners of cutout and file to insure smooth  
edges and prevent corner cracking.  
3. Rough edges, inside corners which have not been  
rounded and forced fits can contribute to cracking of  
the countertop laminate.
