Skip this step if there is no separate remote switch.
WARNING:
Disconnect electrical power from unit before
beginning switch installation. Failure to do so could
result in personal injury or damage to the electrical
controls.
WARNING:
The remote switch must be located so that it can be
operated without reaching over the cooktop. Failure
to do so may result in ignition of clothing which could
cause serious injury or death.
Determine the location for the remote switch.
• The remote switch should be located so that the
vertical distance from the floor to the remote
switch is less than 48" and more than 15".
• The remote switch harness is 68" long and should
be installed so that it is not pinched and is away
from moving parts.

the mounting bracket as a template to locate the
hole accurately. Check for interference between
the switch cover, adjacent objects and cooktop/
vent overlaps.
• If switch is mounted into a tile surface, drill the
hole between tiles. Use locally approved caulking
to cover any gaps.
• If the remote switch is not installed on the coun-
tertop, ensure that it is installed in a location that
meets local codes and is easily accessible.
