INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Important: Read and follow all instructions.
Warning: Have a qualified technician or electrician install
the cooktop. Improper installation may
cause severe shock or fire damage. Ensure that the cooktop is properly grounded
and is installed in accordance with the provided installation
instructions.
Visually inspect the frame, control panel, and
surface to ensure they are not damaged before setting up the cooktop
Before
inserting the unit into the cutout, the cooktop should be connected to a
grounded junction box.
Note to Installer:
Please leave these instructions with the owner.
Note: Avoid placing cabinets above the
cooktop, if possible, to reduce the risk of burns or fire. However, if a cabinet is placed over the
cooktop, install a range hood that is about 5 inches thick below the cabinet. A
minimum clearance of 30 inches should be allowed above the Cooktop. However, if the clearance is less than 30
inches the cabinet bottom must be protected with flame retardant millboard at
least 1/4 thick and covered with 28-gauge sheet steel or 0.020 thick sheet
metal.

This cooktop is
designed to fit easily into cabinets, though some cabinets may require
modifications. A 3-3/4-inch wide flat
area is required around the edge of opening for supporting the unit. The cooktop must be level and sit squarely
into the countertop opening. It is also important that the wall coverings,
countertops and cabinets around the cooktop can withstand heat of up to 93.330
C (2000F) generated by the cooktop. Make sure the wires are not pinched.
When installing
the cooktop unit, locate the mounting parts, remove screws from the cooktop,
then bolt the provided brackets to the sides of the cooktop. Insert the cooktop into the cut-out opening
ensuring that it is parallel to the front edge of the countertop and that all
clearances are met. However, before
dropping in the cooktop into the cut-out, put silicon around the corners of the
cut-out to secure the cooktop firmly. Secure the cooktop permanently into place
by screwing the brackets into the cabinet sides.
Electrical connections
Important
Observe and follow all governing codes and ordinances.
Note to installer: Be sure to leave these instructions with
the consumer.
Caution: For safety, remove the fuse or
disconnect the power at the circuit breaker before the installation.
The cooktop must
be supplied with the correct voltage and frequency as specified on the unit
serial plate. The appliance cable must
be connected to a properly grounded, individual branch circuit, protected by
circuit breakers or fuses having amperage as indicated on the serial plate.
Swift Canada recommends the use of a thermally
protected breaker to be positioned below the cooktop to increase the safety
condition to the owner.
The services of a
qualified electrician must be used for electrical wiring and the installation
of your cooktop. After installation,
have the qualified electrician show you where you can disconnect the power to
the cooktop at the circuit breaker or fuse box. This is necessary in case of
emergency.
Keep a reference
of the electric codes that apply in your area.
Failure to wire your cooktop according to governing codes could result
in a hazardous condition. If there are
no local codes, your cooktop must be wired and fused to meet the requirements
of the Canadian electric code, CSA C22.1, part 1. If in the US, follow the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA No. 70- latest edition, governing electric range installations.
Continuity and connectivity must exist between the appliance
and an effective grounding system. The
power cord must not come in contact with the cook top. This would result in the power cord to become
hot and shock, personal injury or explosion may occur. Never use an extension cord to connect the
cooktop to the main electrical supply.
Before servicing, disconnect power supply by removing the fuse,
unplugging the unit or manually tripping the circuit breaker.
Use a four-wire,
single phase, AC 208 or 240-volt, 60-Hertz electrical system. The cooktop flexible armoured cable must be
firmly attached to the junction box and the flexible conduit securely attached
to the connector. (The junction box is
not included with the appliance).
Install an approved junction box at least 11 in. up to maximum of 18 in.
below top of cabinet. Use entire
length of conduit provided when making the wire connections
Options:
Connection to a 4-conductor branch circuit: attach the cooktop grounding lead (bare
copper) to the residence-grounding conductor (bare copper) in accordance with
local codes.
Connection to a 3-conductor branch circuit: (a 3 conductor armoured cable is normally
supplied with cook tops using radial elements only). Connect the cooktop red lead to the branch
circuit red lead and the cooktop black lead to the branch circuit black lead in
accordance with local codes.
OPERATION TIPS and COOKING GUIDE
Energy-saving
ideas
Ψ
Turn
elements off when cooking is completed.
Ψ
Thaw
out frozen foods before cooking.
Ψ
The
use of lids when cooking helps speed up the cooking process.
Ψ
Use
medium to heavyweight flat-bottomed pans with tight fitting lids that match the
size of the elements. Avoid using pans
that are smaller than elements. Never
use a pan that is extended more than 1 inch over the edge of the surface
unit. Choose pans made of metals that
conduct heat efficiently. Aluminium
cookware conducts heat faster than other metals, but is not recommended.
Note: The use of a Wok with a metal ring that extends beyond the element is
not suggested because when the ring traps heat, the surface element and cooktop
surface could be damaged. Also, do not
use two elements to heat one large pan or allow pots and pans to boil dry.
Place the pan on
the surface element.
Push the knob in
and turn to desired heat setting.
The surface
indicator light will glow when any heat element is on. Always turn the control to OFF when you
finish cooking or before removing the pan.
The far left side
burner of the cooktop is provided with a unique built-in simmer control.
