IMPORTANT SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS

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 resuJt in a fire,
electrical 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 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.

* Be sure your cooktop is installed and grounded

properJy by a quaJified instaJJer or service

technician.
This cooktop must be eJectricaJJy grounded in

accordance with JocaJ codes or, in their absence,
with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No.

70--latest edition in the United States.

_The eJectricaJ power to the cooktop

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

or death.

Provide EJectricaJ Connection

Install the junction box under the 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.

EJectrical Requirements

Observe aJJgoverning codes and JocaJordinances.

I. 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 the
circuit rating of the appliance specified on the

nameplate.

2. A circuit breaker or fuse rated at 50 Amp is
recommended for this appliance.

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
is important that the ceramic-glass cooktop 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.

EJectricaJ ground is required on this appliance.

This appliance is equipped with a

copper conductor fJexibJe cabJe. Jf connection Js
made to aluminum house wiring, use only special
connectors which are approved for joining copper

and aJuminum wires in accordance with the
NationaJ EJectricaJ Code and JocaJ codes and

ordinances, improper connection of aJuminum
house wiring to copper Jeads can resuJt in a short

circuit or fire. FoJJow the connector manufacturer
recommended procedure closely.

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

Where local codes permit connecting the appliance-
grounding conductor to the neutral (white) wire
(see figure 3):

I. 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 3.

Figure 3 - 3-WIRE GROUNDED JUNCTION BOX

You may not ground the cooktop

through the neutral (white) wire if cooktop is used
in a new branch circuit installation (1996 NEC),

mobile home, recreational vehicle, or where local
codes do not permit grounding to the neutral

(white) wire. When grounding to the neutral
(white) wire is prohibited, you must use a 4-wire
power supply cable. See Figure 4. 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), mobile home, recreational vehicle, or

where local codes DO NOT permit grounding to the
neutral (white) wire (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.

Figure 4 - 4-WIRE GROUNDED JUNCTION BOX

If connecting to a 4-wire power supply

cable electrical system, the appliance frame
connected ground wire MUST NOT be connected to
the neutral wire of the 4-wire electrical system.

NOTE TO ELECTRICIAN: The armored cable leads
supplied with the appliance are UL-listed 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 wire is governed by
the temperature rating of the insulation around the wire,
rather than the wire gauge alone.

Cooktop Installation

I. Visually inspect the cooktop for damage. Also make

sure all cooktop screws are tight (see Figure 5).

Screws

Figure 5

2. Install the retainer brackets. See Figure 6.
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

(see Figure 6).

3. Setthe 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 7).
