General  
Safety Procedures  
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.  
Due to the nature of cooking, fires can occur as a  
result of overcooking or excessive grease. Use the  
following procedures to extinguish a fire in the  
unlikely event one occurs.  
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.  
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.  
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 Cooking  
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.  
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.

4. Route the edge of the cutout using a 3/4 inch  
diameter router bit set 9/32 inches deep. Glue  
reinforcing strips of solid surface material underneath  
cutout perimeter. Allow strips to dry before installing  
the cooktop. For island or peninsula installations, glue  
reinforcing strips on all sides. For standard cabinet  
installations, glue reinforcing strips just on the sides.  
Standard countertops are supported in the front and  
rear by the cabinets.  
Inlay Kit Installation Instructions  
1. Build jig for the cutout and router dimensions.  
2. Set router guides to cut along solid line  
corresponding to cooktop burner box size.  
3. Use the carbide tipped router bit to make the cutout.  
30” Cutout = 20-3/4” x 28-7/8”  
30” Router = 21-5/8” x 29-3/4”  
36” Cutout = 20-3/4” x 35-1/16”

Ceramic Tile Countertop  
4. Routing not recommended for ceramic tile  
countertops. If the tile is not in place, cut the opening  
as recommended. Then place tile 1/16 inch from the  
edge of the opening. If tile is already placed, cut it to  
the router dimension using a ceramic tile cutter.

Installation Instructions  
6. Apply foam tape to the underside of the cooktop  
glass and flush with edge of the cooktop frame. The  
foam tape prevents sealant from seeping between  
the countertop and the underside of the cooktop.  
Service problems may arise if foam tape is not  
applied correctly.  
7. Place metal reflective tape around the bottom inside  
edge of the cooktop cutout. This applies only to solid  
surface countertops.  
WARNING  
!
To avoid risk of personal injury or electrical  
shock do not ground through the neutral wire if  
the installation is in a mobile home or if local  
codes do not permit grounding through a  
neutral.  
8. Place cooktop in opening. The cooktop surface  
should be 1/16 inches higher than countertop  
surface. The 1/16 inch offset prevents hot cookware  
from coming in contact with the countertop surface.  
9. Align cooktop in opening. There should be 1/16 inch  
clearance on all sides.  
10.Using 3/4 inch masking tape, place a border around  
the edge of the cutout. This prevents sealant from  
sticking to the countertop.  
11.Work in a well ventilated area when applying sealant.  
Apply the provided sealant into the 1/16 inch opening  
between the countertop and edge of cooktop, one  
side at a time. The sealant will begin to form a skin  
within 5 minutes. Wipe away excess sealant and  
smooth with a spatula or wet finger. Use only the  
sealant provided.  
Improper connection of aluminum house wiring  
to the copper leads can result in property  
damage, personal injury or fire. Use only  
connectors designed for joining copper to  
aluminum and follow the manufactures  
recommended procedure closely.  
Place Cooktop in Cutout  
Apply the foam gasket to the glass tops bottom edge  
before placing cooktop into its cutout.  
1. Turn cooktop upside down. Do not rest cooktop on its  
knobs. Take care not to scratch the countertop.  
2. Cut foam gasket to length for each edge. Apply one  
foam gasket strip for each edge.  
12.Do not touch sealant, move or use the cooktop for 24  
hours. Protect the area from dust for at least 2 hours.  
13.After 24 hours, clean up excess sealant on cooktop  
with razor blade and on countertop with a spatula.

Operating Instructions  
Using the Cooktop  
Using a Wok  
Do not use a wok with a ring stand. A wok with a ring  
stand does not allow proper cooking. Use only a flat  
bottom wok.  
Use Proper Pan Size  
Use cooking utensils with flat bottoms large  
enough to cover the flame. Correct-sized utensils  
improve cooking efficiency and promotes safety.  
Undersized utensils expose clothing and spillovers  
to direct flame.  
Never Leave Surface Units Unattended  
Boilovers can cause smoking or fire.  
Glazed Cooking Utensils  
Use glass, glass/ceramic, earthenware or other  
glazed utensils for cooking, although these  
products are not recommended on glass top  
cooktops. Sudden temperature changes may  
break some utensils and easily scratch cooktop if  
there are any imperfections in utensil bottom.  
Turn Utensil Handles Inward  
Flat Bottom Wok  
A handle extending from the cooktop invites  
accidents.  
Cooking Utensils  
Utensils made of different materials react differently to  
cooking temperatures. The best results occur by  
matching cooking utensil and cooking style. The  
following list describes the cooking characteristics of  
various materials.  
Ring Stand Wok  
Aluminum responds quickly to temperature changes.  
It responds best for frying, braising and roasting.  
Cast iron responds slowly to temperature changes. It  
responds best for long low heat cooking and pan  
frying.  
Stainless steel combined with another metal such as  
copper, responds better to temperature changes. Use  
stainless steel for soups, sauces, vegetables and  
general cooking.  
AKE Unit Description  
AKE model cooktops feature four solid, cast iron  
elements. The heating coils beneath the elements are  
embedded in a insulated material, which protects the  
heating coils from damage and wear. This construction  
increases the elements durability. These elements are  
controlled by push-to turn control knobs that permit an  
infinite number of settings.  
Copper, tin-lined utensils respond quickly to  
temperature changes. It is excellent for gourmet  
cooking, wine sauces and egg dishes.  
Each element has a built-in temperature limiter. The  
limiter prevents the surface temperature of an element  
from rising above 880°F. This temperature limiter is  
indicated by a red dot in the center of each element. The  
element will not get red hot (a temperature of 1000°F is  
needed for the element to glow), although the dots color  
changes slightly when it is heated. A low surface  
temperature decreases the risk of warping and/or  
melting down cookware that has boiled dry.  
Utensil design is important. Select utensils with flat  
bottoms, straight sides, handle weight that does not  
tilt the pan, and pans that match the burner size. Do  
not use pans that exceed the diameter of the burner.  
The following should not be used with cooktops.  
Glass/ceramic responds slowly to temperature  
changes. It responds best to long and slow heating of  
liquids.  
NOTE: The red dot will fade over time as a result of use  
and cleaning. This will not affect the

The solid element has twice the surface area of a  
conventional coil element and cooks by conduction  
rather than radiant heat.

AKH and CAKH units feature one halogen element.  
AK2H units feature two Haloring elements. Halogen  
elements reach cooking temperature quickly and provide  
an even heat. Both features improve cooking  
performance.  
Push in and turn control knob to desired setting. The  
radiant element cycles on and off to maintain desired  
heat setting. Turn all controls to OFF when finished.  
OFF  
Halogen elements have two quartz halogen lamps which  
produce heat quickly and a glowing light when turned on.  
Halogen elements also use a resistance coil element.  
The coil element helps provide an even cooking heat.  
Haloring elements feature a circular quartz halogen  
bulb and a resistance coil.  
Non-halogen elements feature resistance coils designed  
to provide a quicker and brighter visual response than  
that of conventional coil elements. These elements in  
some models are star shaped.  
AKH and CAKH cooktops feature push-to-turn control  
knobs. These knobs permit an infinite number of  
settings. The elements cycle off and on to maintain the  
desired setting. Indicator lights glow red to indicate which  
surface areas are operating. After the elements are  
turned off, the indicator lights remain on until the cooking  
surface areas reach a safe temperature. A temperature  
limiter on each element protects the glass/ceramic  
cooktop from damage caused by overheating.

Cleaning  
Do not clean cooktop until it cools. Sudden temperature  
changes can crack the cooktop surface. Washing the  
cooktop with hot, soapy water after each use minimizes  
the need for heavy cleaning. To preserve the original  
appearance, rinse and wipe the surfaces dry after  
washing.  
10 - Position Haloring Element Control Knob  
Wipe up marinades, fruit juices, vinegar and milk spills to  
avoid permanent stains. These materials contain acids  
and cause discoloration and permanent staining. DO  
NOT touch any portion of the cooktop when it is hot.  
Wait and wipe up spills after the cooktop is cool.  
NOTE: The halogen element will not be illuminated at  
settings LO through 3. The higher the selected  
temperature, the brighter the illumination from  
the element.  
The halogen element will not cycle unless it has been left  
at a high heat setting for an extended amount of time  
without a pan in place or if the pan has boiled dry.  
Turn control to OFF position, when finished.  
Surface Element Hot Indicator Lights  
Some cooktops feature four surface element indicator  
lights, some feature just one. On single indicator models,  
the hot indicator light glows red when any of the surface  
elements are turned on. On multiple light models, the hot  
indicator light glows red when the corresponding element  
is turned on. For all models, the surface indicator light  
remains on until the surface element reaches a safe  
temperature.  
The four hot indicator lights featured on some models  
are located in the center of the control panel. The hot  
indicator lights glow red when the corresponding element  
is turned on. The light remains on until the corresponding  
element has cooled.

Troubleshooting Procedures  
Power Supply  
Infinite Switch Surface Controls  
If no part of the cooktop operates or only part of it  
operates, the cause may be a problem in the power  
supply.  
1. Verify supply circuit breakers or fuses are not tripped.  
Check rating.  
2. Disconnect power source. Check terminals at  
terminal block for tightness.  
3. Verify cooktop service wires are properly connected.  
Be sure wires are in good condition. Check for  
continuity with an ohmmeter.  
Power Disconnected  
All controls may be checked for continuity using the  
schematic diagrams in this manual. When checking  
continuity of suspected control contacts, disconnect  
terminals to avoid false readings through other  
components.  
The most common type of failures encountered with an  
infinite switch are given in subsequent paragraphs.  
Replace failed surface control.  
The bimetal heater burns open which causes the cycling  
contacts to remain closed. The heating element would  
be on full power at all control settings.  
1. Disconnect power from cooktop. Disconnect wire  
terminals from switch terminals H1 and H2.  
2. Connect ohmmeter test leads to H1 and H2  
terminals. The meter indicates no continuity if heater

The internal switching may fail causing the element or  
indicator light to be on constantly or not at all.  
1. Disconnect power from cooktop.  
2. Disconnect wire terminals from all switch terminals.  
3. Test the small halogen ring by connecting ohmmeter  
to L2 and H2. Set control to any setting. Meter should  
indicate continuity. Turn control OFF. Meter should  
indicate no continuity.  
Surface Control  
Power Connection  
1. Refer to schematic diagrams for assistance in testing  
voltages in and out of control.  
2. Connect a voltmeter to the element receptacle or the  
terminals H1 and H2 of the surface control.  
3. Turn control to LOW setting and allow it to cycle  
approximately two minutes. Time the OFF and ON  
cycle of the control and compare these to the  
following table.  
4. Test the large halogen by connecting ohmmeter  
leads to L1 and H2. Turn control to OFF. Meter  
should indicate no continuity.
