INSTALLATION
For your protection, we recommend that a qualified electrician install this appliance. The electrician
should be familiar with electrical installations and your local electrical requirements. The external wiring should be in conduit or an approved type of flexible cable and of suitable size to carry the load. The supply circuit should be properly fused and equipped with a means of disconnecting as required by local electrical code. The body of the hot plate should be grounded (Do not ground to a gas supply pipe). The connections are made in this unit at the pigtail leads located in the junction box on the back of the unit. To gain access to the pigtail leads remove cover on junction box.

DO NOT INSTALL WITHOUT FEET.
CAUTION
USE ONLY FLAT BOTTOM PANS AND POTS! DO NOT USE RAISED BOTTOM UTENSILS OR BUCKETS! GOOD HEAT TRANSFER DEPENDS UPON GOOD CONTACT BETWEEN THE ELEMENT AND POT.
NOTE: Using a 12” diameter or larger pan/pot may cause damage to the element or internal wiring. Such damages are not covered by warranty. Two (2) heating elements are used. For the TMHPF each element draws 2,600 Watts on 240 Volts and 1,950 Watts on 208 Volts. For the TMHPE element draws 2,100 Watts on 240 Volts and 1,575 Watts on 208 Volts. Each element is controlled by an infinite position switch. The right control knob controls the rear cooking element and the left control knob controls the front cooking element. On “HI” the element delivers uninterrupted full heat. Between “LO” and “5” any desired amount of heat can be obtained between 6% and 60% of full heat.
Signal lights are provided above the control knobs to give a visual check if either one or both heating units are turned on.
