Countertop Requirements

9WARNING

To reduce the risk of ignition of surrounding combustible materials, install at least 2" (51 mm) from both sidewalls and the rear wall.

The countertop must be level and horizontal. The stability of the countertop must be maintained after the cut-out has been made.

Solid surface countertops often require special installations. For example, heat-reflective tape and rounded corners may be necessary. Contact the countertop manufacturer for instructions specific to your countertop.

Prepare Installation Space

Create the cut-out in the countertop according to the installation diagram. The angle of the cut surface to the countertop must be 90°.

The lateral cut-out edges must be flat in order to ensure that the retaining springs are positioned properly on the appliance. With multi-layered countertops, secure strips laterally in the cut-out if necessary.

After creating cut-out, remove shavings. Seal cut surfaces in a heatand water-resistant manner.

Observe minimum distance between device underside and cabinet surfaces of 3/8" (10 mm).

Connect Electrical Supply

9WARNING

Before installing, turn off at the service panel. Lock service panel to prevent power from being turned on accidentally.

The electrical power supply system should be a 1-phase, 3-wire system with ground connection. Install suitable junction box (not furnished). An appropriately-sized, ULlisted conduit connector must be used to correctly attach the conduit to the junction box.

The branch-circuit breakers ampacity, the wire sizes and the connections must conform to the requirements of the National Electrical Code or Canadian Electrical Code and all local codes and ordinances.

Attach flexible conduit to the junction box. Metal conduit and leads are factory installed.

9WARNING

To reduce the risk of electrical shock and fire, do not use a flexible power-supply cord with this appliance. Connect only to a 3 wire, 120/240-volt power supply; the neutral conductor is not required for the operation of the appliance. The potential at the power supply electrical connections shall be 150-volts-to-ground or less.

Connect the cooktop lead wires to the junction box supply wires in proper phase:

black (L1) to black red (L2) to red

green or blank copper wire to ground

Check the Installation

9WARNING

Before you turn on power supply, make sure all controls are in the OFF position.
