IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRL! S

,, Be sure your cooktop is installed and grounded

properly by a qualified installer or service
technician,

• These cooktops must be e[ectricaHy grounded in

accordance with local codes or, in their absence,
with the Nationa[ Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No.

70--Jatest edition in the United States, or with
CSA Standard C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code, Part
1, in Canada.

2. These units can consume up to g700W at 240 Vac, a
circuit breaker of 40 Amp with wire gauge #SAWG

shall be used.

NOTE: Wire sizes and 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, and local codes and ordinances.

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

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

4. A suitable strain relief must be provided to attach

tile flexible armored cable to the junction box.

Unpacking Instructions

_The electrical power to the cooktop

must be shut off while line connections are being
made, Failure to do so could result [n serious injury

or death.

Provide Electrical Connection

Install the junction box under the cabinet and run !20/
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 all governing codes and local 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. The fuse size must not exceed tile

circuit rating of the appliance specified on the
nameplate.

.

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 tile ceramic-glass
smoothtop be pretreated before use. See Cooktop
Cleaning and Maintenance section in the Use and

Care Guide.

Electrical Connection

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

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

Electrical ground is required on this appliance.

This appliance is equipped with a

copper conductor flexible cable, tf connection is
made to aluminum house wiring, use onJy special
connectors which are approved for joining cooper

and aluminum wires in accordance with the Nationat
EJectricaJ Code and local codes and ordinances.

Improper connection of aluminum house wiring to
copper leads 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 electricaJ power supply until
appliance is permanently grounded. Connect the
ground wire before turning on the power.

Where local codes permit connecting the appliance-
grounding conductor to the neutrat (white} wire:

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

1. Disconnect tile 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 installation (!996 NEC),
mobile home, recreational vehicle, or where local

codes do not permit grounding through the

neutral (white} wire. When grounding through the

neutrat (white) wire is prohibited, you must use a
4-wire power supply cable. See Figure 5. Failure
to heed this warning may resutt in electrocution or
other serious personal injury.

tf cooktop is used in a new branch drcuit

installation (!996 NEC), mobile home, recreational
vehicle, or where local codes DO NOT permit
grounding through the neutraJ (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.

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}.

2. Install the retainer brackets. See Figure 7

The retainer brackets MUST be installed, to meet
local codes or, in their absence, with the Nationa[
EJectrka[ Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70--latest edition, or
