WARNING
If you have questions concerning the installation of
this product, call the GE Answer Center® Consumer
Information Service at 800.626.2000, 24 hours a day, 7
days a week.
If you received a damaged cooktop, you should

information.
CAUTION:
• This cooktop should be installed by a qualified
installer or service technician.
• Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets
above the cooktop. They could be seriously burned
climbing on the cooktop to reach them.
• To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching
over heated surface elements, cabinet storage
located above the surface units should be avoided. If
cabinet storage space is to be provided, the risk can
be reduced by installing a range hood that projects
horizontally a minimum of 5" beyond the bottom of
the upper cabinets. Cabinet installation above the
countertop unit should be not deeper than 13".
• Never use your cooktop for warming or heating the
room. Prolonged use of the cooktop without
adequate ventilation can be hazardous.
• The cooktop should be easy to reach and lighted by
natural light during the day.
• Always disconnect the electrical service to the unit
before repairing or servicing the cooktop. Discon-
nect the fuse or circuit breaker. Failure to do so
could result in a dangerous or fatal shock. Know
where your main disconnect switch is located.
Check local building codes for the proper method of
cooktop installation. Local codes vary. Installation,
electrical connections and grounding must comply
with applicable codes. In the absence of local codes,
the cooktop should be installed in accordance with
the National Code ANSI/NFPA 70-1990.

• Use the halogen cooktop with any exhaust hood; no
special ventilation is required.
• Refer to “Cabinetry” for information on appropriate
placement and necessary clearances when planning
installation.
• Avoid placing cabinetry directly above cooktop when
possible. If cabinetry is used above cooking surface:
–Maintain 30" minimum clearance between cooktop
and unprotected upper cabinets.
–A 36" wide exhaust hood that projects at least 5"
beyond the front of the cabinets can also reduce
risks.
• Working areas adjacent to the cooktop should have
18" minimum clearance between countertop and
cabinet bottom.
