CUTTING THE COUNTERTOP
If you are installing the cooktop in a solid surface material such as granite, quartz or any other natural or synthetic solid surface, we recommend that the cutout be prepared by a professional cabinet or countertop installer.
Cooktop cutouts in wood or wood-laminate countertops may be able to be prepared using a saber saw and electric drill.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR YOUR SAFETY
•For Personal Safety, remove house fuse or open circuit breaker before beginning installation. Failure to do so could result in serious injury or death.
•Be sure your cooktop is installed properly by a qualified installer or service technician.
•To eliminate the risk of burns or fire due to reaching over heated surface elements, cabinet storage located above the surface units should be avoided. If cabinet storage space is to be provided, the risk can be reduced by installing a range hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5” beyond the bottom of the cabinets. Cabinet installation above the cooktop may be no deeper than 13”.
•Make sure the cabinets and wall coverings around the cooktop can withstand the temperatures (up to 200°F) generated by the cooktop.
•The cooktop should be easy to reach and lighted with natural light during the day.
•Always disconnect the electrical service to the cooktop before repairing or servicing the cooktop. This can be done by disconnecting the fuse or circuit breaker. Failure to do this could result in a dangerous or fatal shock. Know where your main disconnect switch is located. If you do not know, have your electrician show you.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
This appliance must be supplied with the proper voltage and frequency, and connected to an individual, properly grounded branch circuit, protected by a circuit breaker or a time delay fuse as noted on name plate and on the chart below.
Use the chart below to determine the minimum recommended dedicated circuit protection:

We recommend you have the electrical wiring and hookup of your cooktop connected by a qualified electrician. After installation, have the electrician show you where your main cooktop disconnect is located.
Wiring must conform to National Electrical Code and all local electrical codes. You can get a copy of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-Latest Edition, by writing to:
National Fire Protection Association
Batterymarch Park
Quincy, MA 02269
In Canada, wiring must conform to Canadian Electrical Code (CEC).
The cooktop conduit wiring is approved for copper wire connection only, and if you have aluminum house wiring, you must use special UL approved connectors for joining copper to aluminum. In Canada, you must use special CSA approved connectors for joining copper to aluminum.
You must use a two-wire, three conductor 208/240 VAC, 60 Hertz electrical system. A white (neutral) wire is not needed for this unit. The cooktop must be installed in a circuit that does not exceed 125 VAC nominal to ground.
Refer to the name plate on your cooktop for the KW rating for your cooktop.
These cooktops require 40 amp
service for 30” units,
50 amp service for 36” units.
