Installation
Glass/Ceramic Cooking Surfaces
1.Do Not Cook on Broken cooktop. If cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electrical shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.
2.Clean cooktop with Caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid a steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
Exhaust Vent
1.Clean Vents Frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on vent or filter.
2.When flaming foods under hood, turn fan on.
3.Turn off power at fuse panel.
Unpacking Cooktop

•Slide cooktop out of box.
•To avoid damage, do not slide cooktop across countertop.
Countertop Options
Cooktop can be installed with glasstop resting on the countertop or with the glasstop recessed into the countertop. If a recessed installation is desired, a countertop inlay kit can be purchased from an Amana dealer. Installation instructions for a recessed installation are provided in the inlay kit. The following instructions are to install the cooktop with the glasstop resting on the countertop.
In Case of Fire
Fires can occur as a result of over cooking or excessive grease. Though a fire is unlikely, if one occurs, proceed as follows:
Surface Element Fire
1.Smother the fire with a nonflammable lid or baking soda, or use a Class ABC or BC extinguisher. Not water. Not salt. Not flour.
2.As soon as it is safe to do so, turn the surface controls to OFF. Turn off power supply.

•Do not mix household cleaning products. Chemical mixtures may interact with objectionable or even hazardous results.
•Do not put plastic items on warm cooking areas. They may stick and melt.
•Do not allow pots to boil dry as this can cause damage to cooking surface and pan.
