Important Note to the Consumer

Keep these instructions with your Use and Care Guide for
future reference.

IMPORTANT SAFETY

2. The power rating of the appliance is specified on the
nameplate. A circuit breaker of 40 Amp shall be

used.

NOTE: Wire sizesand connections must conform with the
fuse size and rating of the appliance in accordance with

the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70-latest
edition in the United States; or with CSA Standard

C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, in Canada, and
local codes and ordinances.

An extension cord must not be used
with this appliance. Such use may result in a fire,
electrical shock, or other personal injury.

INSTRUCTIONS

• Be sure your cooktop is instaJJed and grounded
properly by a quaJified instaJJer or service

technician.

• These cooktops must be electricalJy grounded in
accordance with IocaJ codes or, in their absence,

with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No.
70--latest edition in the United States, or with

CSA Standard C22.1, Canadian EJectricaJ Code, Part
1, in Canada.

_The eJectrJcaJ power to the cooktop

must be shut off while line connections are being
made. FaiJure to do so couJd resuJt in serious injury

or death.

Provide Electrical Connection

Install the junction box under the cabinet and run 120/
240 or 120/208 Volt, AC wire from the main circuit

panel. DO NOT connect the wire to the circuit panel at
this time.

Electrical Requirements

Observe alJ governing codes and Jocal ordinances.

1. A 3-wire or 4-wire single phase 120/240 or 120/208
Volt, 60 Hz AC only electrical supply is required on a

separate circuit fused on both sides of the line (time-
delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended). DO
NOT fuse neutral.

3. The appliance should be connected to the fused
disconnect (or circuit breaker) box through flexible

armored or nonmetallic sheathed cable. The flexible
armored cable extending from this appliance should

be connected directly to the grounded junction box.
The junction box should be located as shown in
Figure 2 with as much slack as possible remaining in
the cable between the box and the appliance, so it
can be moved if servicing is ever necessary.

4. A suitable strain relief must be provided to attach
the flexible armored cable to the junction box.

Unpacking Instructions

1. Leave corner supports on cooktop until completion
of Electrical Connection.

2. Be sure the bottle of cleaner conditioner packed in
the literature bag is left where the user can find it
easily. It is important that the ceramic-glass
smoothtop be pretreated before use. See Cooktop
Cleaning and Maintenance section in the Use and

Care Guide.

EJectricaJ Connection

Connect the flexible armored cable that extends from the
surface unit to the junction box using a suitable strain

relief at the point the armored cable enters the junction
box. Then make the electrical connection as follows.

Electrical ground is required on this appJiance.

This appJiance is equipped with a

copper conductor fJexibie cabJe. Jf connection is
made to aJuminum house wiring, use only speciaJ
connectors which are approved for joining cooper

and aJuminum wires in accordance with the National
EiectricaJ Code and JocaJ codes and ordinances.

improper connection of aJuminum house wiring to
copper Jeads can result in a short circuit or fire.

Follow the connector manufacturer recommended
procedure closely.

This appliance is manufactured with a frame connected
green (or bare copper) ground wire.

DO NOT ground to a gas supply pipe.

DO NOT connect to eJectricaJ power suppJy untiJ
appJiance is permanentJy grounded. Connect the
ground wire before turning on the power.

Where local codes permit connecting the appliance-
grounding conductor to the neutraJ (white) wire:

if your cooktop is to be connected to a 3-wire
grounded junction box (see figure 4):

1. Disconnect the power supply.

2. In the circuit breaker, fuse box or junction box:
connect appliance and power supply cable wires as
shown in figure 4.

You may not ground the cooktop

through the neutral (white) wire if cooktop is used

in a new branch circuit instaiJatJon (1996 NEC),
mobiJe home, recreational vehicJe, or where local

codes do not permit grounding through the

neutraJ (white) wire. When grounding through the

neutraJ (white) wire is prohibited, you must use a
4-wire power suppJy cabJe. See Figure 5. Failure
to heed this warning may result in electrocution or
other serious personal injury.

if cooktop is used in a new branch circuit

installation (1996 NEC), mobiJe home, recreational

vehicle, or where JocaJ codes DO NOT permit
grounding through the neutral (white) wire:

1. Disconnect the power supply.

2. Separate the green (or bare copper) and white
appliance cable wires.

3. In the circuit breaker, fuse box or junction box:
connect appliance and power supply cable wires as
shown in figure 5.

Cooktop Installation

I. Visually inspect the cooktop for damage. Also make

sure all cooktop screws are tight (see Figure 6).

3. Set the cooktop into the countertop cutout,

NOTE: Do not use caulking compound; cooktop should

be removable for service when needed.

Do not remove the nylon spacers on
the edges of the cooktop. These spacers center the
cooktop in the space provided. The cooktop must
be centered to prevent excess heat buildup that
may result in heat damage or fire (see Figure 8).

Screws

2. Install the retainer brackets. See Figure 7

The retainer brackets MUST be installed, to meet
local codes or, in their absence, with the National

Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70--latest edition in
the United States, or with CSA Standard C22.1,

Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1 in Canada (see
