WARNING

It is the customer's responsibility to contact a
qualified electrical installer. To assure that the
electrical installation isAdequate and in

conformity with national electrical code:
ANSI/NFPA 70-latest edition** or CSA standards

C22.1-94, Canadian Electrical Code, part No.0-

M91 -latest edition*** and all local codes and
ordinances.

WARNING

Copies of the standards listed may be obtained from:

To eliminate the risk of burns by reaching over
heated surface units, cabinet storage space located

above the surface units should be avoided. If he
cabinet storage is to be provided, the risk can be

reduced by installing a range hood that projects
horizontally a minimum of 5" (12,7 cm) beyond the

bottom of cabinet.

_mportant Preparation Suggestions

1. Chamfer all exposed edges of decorative laminate
to prevent damage from chipping.

2. Radius corners of cutout and file to Insure
smooth edges and prevent corner cracking.

Recommend 1/4"or 3/8"diameter drill in each
corner.

3. Rough edges, inside corners which have not been
rounded and forced fits can contribute to cracking

of the countertop laminate.

4. This cooktop is not compatible with a raised vent.

or other injury.

• Cut Hazard
Beware of sharp edges. Use the polystyrene ends

when carrying the product. Failure to use caution

• Always consult the countertop manufacturer for
specific instructions.

o Ensure the countertop is square and level and

ensure no structural members interfere with space
requirements.

• Prepare the cut-out according to the instructions
(see cut-out dimensions).

,, Make sure the wall coverings, countertop and

cabinets around the cooktop can withstand heat
(up to 200 °F / 93 °C).

WARNING

THE CONDUIT IS 4 FEET LONG
The junction box, must be located where it will

allow considerable slack in the conduit for
serviceability.

Important:

• For solid surface material installations such as
Surel TM and Corian ®, consult with solid surface

manufacturer. Apply heat reflective tape such as
Scotch® Aluminum Foil Tape #425 or #427

around the cutout so that itfolds over on the top
and sides.

,, Do not wrap the tape underneath the cooktop.

Be sure the tape extends beyond the outermost

flange of the cooktop. All corners should be

covered with tape.

Disconnectpower before servicing the product.

Failure to do so could result in death or
electrical shock.

®eneral information

s ...........

The flexible conduit (supplied) 4 feet long (123 cm)
located at the right rear of the cooktop bottom box

should be connected directly to junction box. Do not
cut or lengthen the conduit. A U.L - or CSA - listed

conduit connector must be provided at each end of the
power supply cable (at the cooktop and at the junction

box.) A time delay fuse or circuit breaker is
recommended. Do not ground to a gas pipe.

Do not have a fuse in the grounding or neutral circuit.
Fuse both supply (phase) lines.

WARNING

* The DECT series models may be powered

at 240V or 208V.

This cooktop does not require a neutral connection. If
the cooktop is to be completely enclosed in a cabinet,

feed the cooktop cable through the opening in the

cabinet. Make the electrical connection following the
appropriate steps for your installation.
Your cooktop must be connected to the proper

electrical voltage and frequency as specified in the
table on the right.

Connect with copper wire only
If the house has aluminum wiring, follow the

procedure below:

1. Connect the aluminum wiring to the copper wire
by using special connectors designed and
Underwriters Laboratories-listed for joining copper

to aluminum. Follow the electrical connector

manufacturer's recommended procedure.

2. Aluminum/copper connection must conform with
local codes and industry- accepted wiring

practices.

A three-wire, single phase, 240 Volt 60 cycle electrical
system (properly circuit protected to meet Local
Codes of NFPA No.70) must be provided. Unit must

be properly grounded in accordance with local wiring
code. The chart below recommends the minimum

circuit protector and wire size if the appliance is the
only unit on the circuit. If smaller sizes of wire are

used, the unit efficiency will be reduced and a fire
hazard may be created. It is advisable that the

electrical wiring and hookup be accomplished by a
competent electrician.

Be sure your appliance is properly installed and

grounded by a qualified technician. Ask your
dealer to recommend a qualified technician or an

authorized repair service. This cooktop does not

require a neutral connection, if the cooktop is to
be completely enclosed in a cabinet, feed the

cooktop cable through the opening in the cabinet.

Make the electrical connection following the

appropriate steps for your installation.

This appliance is manufactured with a green ground
wire connected to the cooktop chassis. After making
sure that the power has been turned off, connect the

flexible conduit from the cooktop to the junction box

using a U.L. listed conduit connector. Figures 13 and
14 and the instructions provided below present the
most common way of connecting the cooktops. Your

local codes and ordinances, of course, take

precedence over these instructions. Complete
electrical connections according to local codes and
ordinances.

Risk of Electric Shock, frame grounded to
neutral of appliance through a link.

Grounding through the neutral conductor is prohibited
for new branch-circuit installations (1996 NEC);

mobile homes; and recreational vehicles, or in an area

where local codes prohibit grounding through the

neutral conductor.
