• 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 necessary, 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 194 °F) generated by the cooktop.
• The cooktop should be easy to reach and illuminated by 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.
This appliance must be supplied with the proper voltage and frequency, and connected to
an individual, properly grounded branch circuit, protected by a 40A circuit breaker or a
time delay circuit breaker as noted on name plate.
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.
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.
Important safety instructions
WARNING
If the information in this manual is not followed exactly, a fire or electrical shock may
result causing property damage, personal injury, or death.
WARNING
Before beginning the installation, switch the power off at the service panel and lock the
service disconnecting switch to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When
the service disconnecting switch cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning
device, such as a tag, to the service panel.
IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
• Cabinet opening dimensions that are shown must be used.
Recessed installation area must provide complete enclosure around the recessed
portion of the cooktop.
• Grounded electrical supply is required. See “Electrical Requirements” section.
NOTE
It is recommended to install the juction box on right side of the cabinet.
If installing the junction box near the left side, make sure the junction box does not
interfere with the cooktop (by concealing the junction box inside the wall).
IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to your cabinets, check with your builder or cabinet
supplier to make sure that the materials used will not discolor, delaminate or sustain other
damage. This cooktop has been designed in accordance with the requirements of UL and
CSA International and complies with the maximum allowable wood cabinet temperatures
of 194 °F (90 °C).
Make sure the wall coverings, countertop
and cabinets around the cooktop can
withstand heat (up to 194 °F) generated by
cooktop.
NOTE
If cabinet has a drawer, a minimum 127 mm (5”) depth clearance from the bottom of
cooktop to top of the drawer (or other obstruction) in base cabinet is required.
IMPORTANT:
The junction box must be located where it will allow considerable slack in the conduit for
Disconnect power before servicing.
Use 8 gauge solid copper wire.
Electrically ground cooktop.
• Refer the label on the bottom or
front of the cooktop for power
requirements and model information.
Installation requirements
This cooktop must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system.
Be sure that the electrical connection and wire size are adequate and in conformance with
the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-latest edition or CSA Standards C22.
1-94, Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1 and C22.2 No. O-M91-latest edition, and all local
codes and ordinances.

Failure to follow these instructions can
result in death, fire, or electrical shock.
If codes permit and a separate ground
wire is used, it is recommended that a
qualified electrical installer determine that
the ground path and the wire gauge are in
accordance with local codes.
Check with a qualified electrical installer
if you are not sure the cooktop is properly
grounded.

To properly install your cooktop, you must determine the type of electrical connection you
will be using and follow the instructions provided for it here.
• A 3-wire or 4-wire, single phase, 208 or 240 volt AC, 60-Hz, power supply is required
on a dedicated double pole circuit breaker of at least 40 amps for the 30” cooktop, and
of at least 45 amps for the 36” cooktop.
NOTE
• The cooktop is rated 240 volt. Some models have a neutral (white) wire.
• The cooktop should be connected directly to the junction box through flexible, armored
or nonmetallic sheathed, copper cable. The flexible, armored cable extending from the
fuse box or circuit breaker box should be connected directly to the junction box.
• Locate the junction box to allow as much slack as possible between the junction box
and the cooktop so that the cooktop can be moved if servicing becomes necessarry in
the future.
• Do not cut the conduit. Use the length of conduit provided.
• A UL listed or CSA approved conduit connector is necessary at each end of the power
supply cable (at the cooktop and at the junction box). A listed conduit connector is
already provided at the cooktop.
• If the house has aluminum wiring, follow the procedure below:
1. Connect a section of solid copper wire to the pigtail leads.
2. Connect the aluminum wiring to the added section of copper wire using special
connectors and/or tools designed and UL listed for joining copper to aluminum.
Follow the electrical connector manufacturer’s recommended procedure. Aluminum/
copper connection must conform with local codes and industry accepted wiring
practices.
Decide on the final location for the cooktop. Avoid drilling or cutting into house wiring
during installation.

STEP 2 Place cooktop
Cooktop
1. Using 2 or more people, place the
cooktop upside down on a covered
surface using the foam end posts from
the packaging.
2. The foam strip helps avoid damage
to the underside of the cooktop glass
from debris and helps the cooktop sit
flat on uneven counters.
Insert the cooktop centered into the cutout
opening. Make sure the cooktop is parallel
to the front edge of the countertop. Make
final check that all required clearances are
met.
The bracket Guide can be installed after cooktop is placed into the cutout.
1. Attach bracket guide to bottom of
cooktop and side of wall.
2. Adjust to match hole of bracket and
bottom of cooktop.
3. Tighten screw enough to hold bracket
in place when cooktop is placed in
cutout.
4. Using 2 or more people, turn the

NOTE
Make sure that the front edge of the
cooktop is parallel to the front edge of the
countertop. If repositioning is needed, lift
entire cooktop up from cutout to avoid
scratching the countertop.
STEP 3-2 Alternative Bracket Guide Installing
The bracket Guide can be installed after cooktop is placed into the cutout.
1. Attach bracket guide to bottom and
select bracket location.
2. Tighten screw bracket guide to base of
