I M P O R T A N T S A F E T Y I N S T R U C T I O N S
DO NOT perform the following:
Touch the glass surface immediately after use. The heat from the cookware will transfer to the glass, making it
hot to the touch.
Place aluminum foil or plastic objects on the cooktop surface.
Move the appliance when cookware or liquids are on it.
Use any accessories or attachments that are not recommended by the manufacturer. Use of unapproved
accessories may cause injuries and void the warranty.
Strike or damage the appliance. Dropping the unit can damage the internal components or crack it, voiding your
warranty. If the appliance becomes cracked, unplug the unit immediately and do not use it.
Obstruct, block, or alter openings or holes on this appliance or stick foreign objects into these openings.
Store this appliance outdoors, upside down, or in a non-climate-controlled environment.
Use this appliance near water (e.g., a faucet, kitchen sink, wet basement, or swimming pool).
Use a water jet for cleaning. Refer to the Cleaning section for more information.
2.2 Grounding Instructions
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by
providing a path for the electric current to flow. Connection must be performed by a qualified electrician.
WARNING: Improper grounding can result in risk of electric shock.
Do not use an extension cord. If the power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or serviceman install an
outlet near the appliance.
Never cut, remove, or disable the electrical (ground) connection from the plug.
2.3 Protective Earth (Ground) Symbol
This symbol identifies the terminal intended for connecting an external conductor to protect against electric
shock in case of a fault, or the terminal of a protective earth (ground) electrode.
2.4 Equipotential Bonding Symbol
This symbol identifies terminals that, when connected, bring the various parts of an equipment or system to
the same potential, not necessarily the earth (ground) potential, e.g., for local bonding.

3.5 Electrical Specifications
The Four- or Six-Hob ranges must be connected to a
grounded, three-phase power supply. Check the nearby
data and verify the unit's rating plate to confirm the
correct voltage and wattage. Voltages below the
specified range can cause reduced power and slower
heating times. Refer to the Six-Hob Specification Sheet
and Four-Hob Specification Sheet for more information.
Note: For proper operation, an independent, dedicated
circuit should be used in all installations.
CookTek’s Four- or Six-Hob ranges are in conformance
with UL 197 and CSA 22.2 No. 109 standards and bears
the commercially rated approvals.

4. OPERATION
The CookTek Four- or Six-Hob ranges have a single knob
for setting the power from 1-10 on each hob. Power setting
is a proportion of the available maximum power. Each hob
has a bar graph display next to the burner indicating the
power setting.
• Each knob has three detents to aid in setting the
power level.
• When a knob is pointing straight up, there is a detent
set for off.
• Rotating the knob clockwise 45 degrees, there is a
detent for power setting 1.
• Rotating the knob counterclockwise 45 degrees,
there is a detent for the power setting 10.
• All other power settings are proportional and range
from 1 to 10.
Display
• On the top of the unit, there is a row of 10 LEDs per
knob, which light up in proportion to the power
setting.
• The display will also display the error code in the
event of a failure.
Function
• When the unit is first turned on, the display will flash
if it has not detected a pan for heating.
• Once a pan is on the stove, the display will stop
flashing and display the power setting.
• If the unit is left without a pan for 5 minutes, it will
enter sleep mode, and the display will have a moving
LED. To wake it up, turn the knob.
CAUTION: Pans with loop handles that are low on
the pan and placed off-center, as shown, will heat
similarly to a gas stove. Be careful when a pan is
off-center on the hob to use insulated mitts when
handling it.
