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
tile cabinets.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRU S
Be sure your cooktop is installed and grounded
properly by a quaJified installer or service technician.
These cooktops must be electrically grounded in accordance with locat codes or, in their absence, with the Nationa! 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 (:able. 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 (.an 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 eJectrical power to the cooktop
must be shut off while line connections are being made. Failure to do so coutd resutt 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 (.odes and ordinances.
Model and Serial Plate
Figure 3 (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 (:able that extends from the surface unit to the junction box using a suitable
strain relief at the point the armored (:able 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 tile National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances.
This appliance is manufactured with a frame connected green (or bare copper) ground wire.
1. tf connecting to a 3-wire supply cable (U.S.A. only): If local codes permit connecNon of the frame grounding conductor to the neutral
(white) wire: (The 3-conductor cord or cable must be
replaced with a 4<onductor cord or cable where grounding through the neutral conductor is prohibited
in new installations, mobile homes, recreational
vehicles or in other areas where local (.odes 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 tile matching colors of tile appliance cable wires.
_tmproper 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.
.
tf 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 tile white wire from the power
supply cable if a 3-wire appliance cable is supplied. Connect the remaining wires from the supply cable to
tile 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 tile house service panel.
