INDUCTION COOKTOP INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
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.
5. 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 and product code.
Important Note to the Consumer
Keep these instructions with your Use and Care Guide
for future reference.
IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
• Be sure your cooktop is installed and grounded
properly by a qualified installer or service
technician.
• This cooktop 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.
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. NOTE: 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.
2. A circuit breaker or fuse rated at 40 Amp is
required for 36" models and 30 Amp for the 30"
model.
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.
The electrical power to the cooktop
An extension cord must not be used
with this appliance. Such use may result 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.
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.
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.
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
the National Electrical 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 supply wire and
a frame connected green or bare copper grounding
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.

WARNING
If the cable from appliance is equipped with 3 wires:
Where local codes permit connecting the
appliance-grounding conductor to the neutral
(white) wire (see figure 3):
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 3.
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.

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.

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. 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 5.

WARNING
Cooktop Installation
1. Visually inspect the cooktop for damage. Also make
sure all cooktop screws are tight (see Figure 7).
Screws
Figure 7
2. Install the retainer brackets. See Figure 8.
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 8).
Do not remove the spring 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 10).
4. Fix the cooktop to the bracket using the screws
supplied (see Figure 10).
