_To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by
reaching over heated surfaces, cabinet storage space located
abovethe cooktop should be avoided. If cabinet storage is
provided, risk can be reduced by installing a range hood that
projects horizontally a minimum of 7" (17.8 cm) beyondthe

bottom of the cabinets.

IM PORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS

NOT fuse neutral The fuse size must not exceed the

circuit rating of the appliance specified on the

nameplate.

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, or with CSA standard C22.1, Canadian

Electrical Code, Part 1, and local 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.

2. 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.

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

• Be sure your cooktop is installed and grounded

properly by a qualified installer or service
technician.

• These cooktops must be electrically grounded in

accordance with 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.

_The electrical power to the cooktop

must be shut off while line connections are being
made. Failure to do so could result in serious injury

or death.

Provide Electrical Connection

Install the junction box under tile cabinet and run 120/

240 or 120/208 Volt, AC wire from the main circuit

panel NOTE: DO NOT connect the wire to the circuit
panel at this time. Wait until all wires have been

connected in the junction box.

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

Unpacking Instructions

1. Unpack and visually inspect the cooktop

2. Be sure the bottle of cleaner conditioner packed in the
literature bag is left where the user can find it easily. It

isimportant that the ceramic-glass smoothtop be
pretreated before use see Cooktop Cleaning and

Maintenance section in the Use and Care Guide.

Electrical Connection

It istile responsibility and obligation of tile consumer to
contact a qualified installer to assure that the electrical
installation isadequate and is in conformance with the

National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70-latest
edition, or with CSA Standard C22.1, Canadian

Electrical Code, Part 1, and local codes and ordinances.

Electrical ground is required on this appliance.

This appliance is equipped with a copper conductor
flexible cable. If connection is made to aluminum house

wiring, use only special connectors which are approved
for joining copper and aluminum wires in accordance

with National Electrical Code and local codes and
ordinances.

This appliance is manufactured with a white neutral
power supply wire and a frame connected green or bare
copper grounding wire.

4

1.

If local codes permit connection of the frame
grounding conductor to the neutral (white) wire.

Connect the green (or bare copper) wire and the
white wire from the appliance cable to the supply
cable ground wire (white or bare) inside the junction

box. Connect the remaining wires inside the junction
box from the power supply cable to the matching

colors of the appliance cable wires (figure 4).

NOTE TO ELECTRICIAN: The armored cable leads
supplied with the appliance are CSA-recognized for

connection to larger gauge household wiring. The
insulation of the leads is rated at temperatures much
higher than temperature rating of household wiring. The
current carrying capacity of the conductor is governed by
the temperature rating of the insulation around the wire,
rather than the wire gauge alone.

_lmproper connection of aluminum

house wiring to copper leads can result in a short
circuit or fire. Use only connectors designed for
joining copper to aluminum, and follow the
manufacturer's recommended procedure closely.

Frame grounded through the neutral.

If used in a mobile home, new branch circuit (1996
NEC) recreational vehicles or where local codes do

not permit grounding through neutral see figure 5.

2. If used in mobile homes or if local codes DO

NOT permit connection of the frame grounding

conductor to the neutral (white) wire, separate

tile white and bare copper ground wires that extend
out of the end of the supply cable of the appliance.
Connect the white wire from supply cable to the

neutral white wire in the junction box. Connect the
black and red wires from the supply cable to the
matching color wires in the junction box. The bare

wire must now be used to ground the appliance in
accordance with local electrical codes. Connect the

bare copper ground wire to the grounded lead in the

service panek DO NOT ground to a gas supply pipe.

DO NOT connect to electrical power supply until
appliance is permanently grounded. Connect the
ground wire before turning on the power (figure 5).

_lf connecting to a 4-wire electrical

system, the appliance frame MUST NOT be
connected to the neutral wire of the 4-wire

electrical system.

Cooktop Installation
