For a drawer installation below the cooktop, allow Dimension G of clearance underneath the countertop. The drawer must not interfere with the electrical installation of the cooktop or contain ﬂammable materials.

To eliminate the risk of burns or ﬁre by reaching over heated surfaces, cabinet storage space located above the cooktop should be avoided. If cabinet storage is provided, risk can be reduced by installing a range hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5" (12.7 cm) beyond the bottom of the cabinets.

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 leave these instructions with the consumer.

ELECTRIC COOKTOP INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• 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.

WARNING

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.

The electrical power to the cooktop

2. The ﬂexible armored cable extending from the appliance should be connected directly to the junction box. The junction box should be located as shown in Figure 1 or Figure 2 and 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)

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.

Electrical Requirements

This appliance must be supplied with the proper voltage and frequency, and connected to an individual, properly grounded branch circuit, protected by a circuit breaker or fuse. A circuit breaker or fuse is required by your appliance. The circuit breaker or fuse amperage

recommended for your appliance is 40A or 50A.

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 (red and black wires). A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. DO NOT fuse neutral (white wire). Only certain cooktop models may be installed over certain built-in electric oven models. Approved cooktops and built-in ovens are listed by the MFG ID number (see the insert sheet included in the literature package).

NOTE: Wire sizes and connections must conform with the fuse size and rating of the appliance in accordance with the American National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70-latest edition, or with Canadian CSA Standard C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1, and local codes and ordinances.

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

Electrical Connection

It is the responsibility and obligation of the consumer to contact a qualiﬁed installer to assure that the electrical installation is adequate 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.

Risk of electrical shock (Failure to

heed this warning may result in electrocution or other serious injury.) This appliance is equipped with copper lead wire. If connection is made to aluminum house wiring, use only connectors that are approved for joining copper and aluminum wire in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local code and ordinances. When installing connectors having screws which bear directly on the steel and/or aluminum ﬂexible conduit, do no tighten screws sufﬁciently to damage the ﬂexible conduit. Do not over bend or excessively distort ﬂexible conduit to avoid separation of convolutions en exposure of internal wires.

Electrical ground is required on this appliance.

ELECTRIC COOKTOP INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

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 electrical power supply until appliance is permanently grounded. Connect the ground wire before turning on the power.

If your appliance is not equipped with a white neutral conductor:

Connect only to a 3-wire, 120/240V power supply; the neutral conductor is not required for the operation of the appliance. The potential at the power supply electrical connections shall be 150V to ground or less.

NOTE TO ELECTRICIAN: The armored cable leads supplied with the appliance are UL-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.

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK: Grounding through the neutral conductor is prohibited for new branch-circuit installations (1996 NEC); mobile homes; recreational vehicules; or in Canada, or in an area where local codes prohibit grounding through the neutral connector.

Where local codes permit connecting the appliance‑grounding conductor to the neutral (white) wire (USA only):

Your appliance has a 3‑wire cable 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.

(If your appliance is equipped with a white neutral conductor.) This appliance is manufactured with a white neutral power supply and a frame connected copper wire. The frame is grounded by connection of grounding lead to neutral lead at the termination of the conduit, if used in USA, in a new branch circuit installation (1996 NEC), mobile home, recreational vehicles, where local code do not permit grounding trough the neutral (white) wire or in Canada, disconnect the white and green lead from each other and use ground lead to ground unit in accordance with local codes, connect neutral lead to branch circuit‑neutral conductor in usual manner see Figure 6 or 7. If your appliance is to be connected to a 3 wire grounded junction box (US only), where local code permit connecting the appliance‑grounding conductor to the neutral (white) see Figure 4 or 5.

Your appliance has a 4‑wire cable to be connected to a 3‑wire grounded junction box (see ﬁgure 5):

1. Disconnect the power supply.

2. In the junction box: Connect appliance and power supply cable wires as

shown in Figure 5.

ELECTRIC COOKTOP INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

If the appliance is used in a new branch circuit installation (1996 NEC), mobile home, recreational vehicle, or where local codes DO NOT permit grounding through the neutral (white) wire, the appliance frame MUST NOT be connected to the neutral wire of the 4‑wire electrical system.

Your appliance has a 3‑wire cable to be connected to a 4‑wire grounded junction box (see ﬁgure 6):

1. Disconnect the power supply.

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

3. Cap the white wire from the power supply cable if a 3-wire appliance cable is supplied.

4. In the circuit breaker, fuse box or junction box:

Connect appliance and power supply cable wires as

shown in ﬁgure 6.
