important Notes to the Installer
1. Read all instructions contained in these installation
instructions before installing the cooktop.
2. Remove all packing material before connecting the
electrical supply to the cooktop.
3. Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
4. Be sure to leavethese instructions with the consumer.
Important Note to the Consumer
Keep these instructions with your owner's guide for future
reference.
IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTION
• 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.
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.
_Unpacking Instructions
(Models with Ceramic-Glass Smoothtop Only)
/
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 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 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 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 codes and ordinances.
I and Serial Plate
\_ (Under Cooktop)
,
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.
Electrical 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 appliance.

.
If connecting to a 3-wire supply cable (U.S.A.
only): If local codes permit connection of the
frame grounding conductor to the neutral
(white) wire: (The 3-conductor cord or cable must be
replaced with a4-conductor cord or cable where
grounding through the neutral conductor is prohibited
in new installations, mobile homes, recreational
vehicles or in other areas where local codes do not
permit neutral grounding)
Connect the green (or bare copper) wire (and the
white wire for model with warmer zone) 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 (see Figure 4
or 5) from the power supply cable to the matching
colors of the appliance cable wires.
_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.
.
If connecting to a 4-wire supply cable (also
mobile homes): The appliance frame must not be
connected to the neutral wire of the 4-wire electrical
system. Connect the appliance white wire (if a 4-wire
appliance cable is supplied) to the power supply cable
white wire. Cap the white wire from the power
supply cable if a 3-wire appliance cable is supplied.
Connect the remaining wires from the supply cable to
the matching color wires from the appliance cable
(see Figure 6 or 7). The green (or bare copper) wire
must now be used to ground the appliance in
accordance with local electrical codes. The green (or
bare copper) wire from the power supply cable is
grounded inside the house service panel.
