I appreciate very much the thoroughness of your video and find it especially helpful for someone who isn’t going to install a cooktop very often. I learned a lot of useful tips such as putting a little sticks under the cooktop before lowering it. The one thing I would like to have seen is the way you hooked up the wiring underneath the stove because there are some issues about an older cooktop having just a green and white wire whereas the new cooktop might need another kind of ground attached to both wires. I am sure your explanation of that situation would’ve been very helpful and informative. Again I appreciate your effort so much
Well done Gary you really are a master craftsman. In particular I love the way you routed the slot for your metal beam to fit into. I would imagine it was awkward routing the front edge, did you do anything to assist you do it keep on line?
I had to look up "hobs', I'm not familiar with that word. There are no fan(s) in this GE cooktop. I assume you have another model. At some point in future I may add an exhaust fan with a down draft.
No, your description is wrong in three ways: 1) air is drawn UP into the electronics of the induction unit. Unless your drawer is airtight, you don't need to worry about it; 2) the air is expelled around the edges of the cooktop, above the counter. The fan is small, like the fan in a personal computer. The airflow is correspondingly small and is imperceptible; 3) It is not smoke. Smoke and fumes come from the food and rise up. Install a proper exhaust hood above the cooktop, regardless of the cooktop's technology/heat source.
@@pestocat There is a fan in this unit. You can see the round shield that comes an extra inch or so off the bottom of the unit at around the 13:07 mark. This shield is for a computer case style fan which intakes air and then exhausts it out the louvers on the back of the unit you can see around the 11:20 mark. GE doesn't mention the need for airflow requirements, but it would be good to make sure air can get to the unit and then get back out, especially when installing in a tighter environment like above a wall oven.
The drawer underneath does not warm up at all. Induction cooktops stay cool while the cookware heats up. Induction cooktops to have small fans, like those used in computers, to keep the electronic components cool. Air is drawn up through the bottom and expelled out around the sides, above the counter. The air flow is so low that it is imperceptible.

Hi David, I used the same tool as on top. It was tricky to clamp it in position.
So, how did you run the electric induction burner without electricity?
What is needed for the wiring (connection) you did not show that
I was hoping you would show the electrical connection. Did you do the electrical connection or hire an electrician ?
I did that myself. I did the all the house wiring. So it was no problem. If you are unsure then hire an electrician.
I mean all the air coming out of induction hobs fan is accumulating in the first drawer below the hob. It’s kind of smoke. How do we fix that?

Gary what about the air intake and exit ... what all do we need to do to let it breathe and exhale... please help
What are you referring to.
@Cembellines With this GE unit, there are no requirements for cooling the hobs underneath. There are no fans in this unit.

There is no drawer underneath, the space below is fully open to shelves below.
