Overview

This document is an instruction manual for the Summit B41602 2-Burner Cook Top, a ceramic glass cooktop designed for residential use. It provides comprehensive information on installation, operation, safety, and maintenance to ensure proper and safe use of the appliance.

Function Description:

The Summit B41602 is a 2-burner ceramic glass cooktop designed for cooking food. It features two radiant heating elements that provide efficient and controlled heat for various cooking tasks. The cooktop is designed to be installed into a countertop, offering a sleek and integrated look in the kitchen. Its ceramic glass surface is easy to clean and maintain, contributing to its user-friendly design. The appliance utilizes "infinite" controls, allowing for a wide range of heat settings from low to full power, enabling precise temperature management for different cooking needs. Indicator lights are included to show when burners are in operation and when surfaces are hot, enhancing user safety.

Important Technical Specifications:

  • Model Number: B41602
  • Description: 2-burner ceramic glass cook top
  • Electrical Requirements: 240V AC, 60Hz
  • Power Rating: 1200 watts (each burner)
  • Maximum Connected Load: 2400 watts
  • Required Power Supply Input: 240VAC/10A/60Hz
  • Minimum Wire Size: #12AWG
  • Diameter of each burner: 6 inches
  • Overall Dimensions: 21" (width) x 12" (depth) x 2 5/8" (height)
  • Cutout Dimensions: 20" (width) x 10 3/4" (depth) with a 1 1/2" radius for corners.
  • Conduit Length: 48 inches (for electrical connection)

Usage Features:

  • Ceramic Glass Surface: The cooktop features a smooth ceramic glass surface that is easy to clean and provides a modern aesthetic. Permanent patterns on the cooktop identify the cooking surface areas.
  • Radiant Heating Elements: It uses ribbon-type, radiant heating elements that "light up" approximately 4-5 seconds after being turned on. These elements are designed to direct heat efficiently through the ceramic glass.
  • Temperature Limiters: Each heating element includes temperature limiters to prevent the ceramic glass top from exceeding its maximum safe operating temperature. These limiters cycle the radiant element off as needed.
  • Infinite Controls: The cooktop is equipped with "infinite" controls, offering a continuous range of heat settings. Turning the knob clockwise increases heat output by cycling the heating elements between "off" and full power for longer periods.
  • Indicator Lights: A series of lights are located adjacent to the control knobs. A red light illuminates when a burner is in the "on" position. Additionally, a "HOT" indicator light illuminates when any part of the glass ceramic cooktop is too warm to touch or place articles upon, enhancing safety.
  • Cookware Compatibility: The cooktop is compatible with most existing cookware, though metal cookware with thick, smooth, flat bottoms (aluminum and stainless steel) is recommended for optimal performance. Cookware with shaped, rounded, or warped bottoms should be avoided.
  • Proper Pan Size: Users are advised to use cookware with a base diameter similar to the cooking zone to maximize heating efficiency and reduce boiling times.
  • Ventilation: Adequate ventilation of the space below the countertop is crucial for proper operation and to prevent overheating of the area beneath the cooktop. A minimum 2-inch clearance between the bottom of the metal pan and any combustible surface below is required.

Maintenance Features:

  • Easy-to-Clean Surface: The ceramic glass surface is designed for easy cleaning. Regular cleaning with a recommended cooktop cleaner (such as Cerama Brite Ceramic Cook Top Cleaner) is advised, especially before first use, to provide a protective coating.
  • Spill Management: Food spills, grease spatters, and metal rub-off from cookware should be removed promptly. A razor blade scraper is recommended for removing stubborn spills.
  • Cleaning Procedure: After cleaning, the cooktop should be wiped with a clean, damp cloth to remove any cleaner residue, then dried.
  • Avoid Abrasives: Abrasive scouring cleaners, plastic, nylon, or metal cleaning pads should be avoided as they can scratch or melt onto the cooktop surface.
  • Chemical Avoidance: Chemical cleaners such as chlorine bleach, ammonia, hydrofluoric acid, or chemical oven cleaners should not be used as they can etch or discolor the surface.
  • Melted Materials: In case of melted materials (plastic, aluminum foil, sugar, etc.) on a hot surface, they should be immediately moved to a cool area of the cooktop with a razor blade scraper and removed as soon as possible.
  • Professional Service: For any repairs or replacement of parts, users are advised to contact authorized personnel or Summit Customer Service, as user servicing is not recommended.
