ELECTRIC 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.
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.
• 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.
The electrical power to the cooktop
2. These units can consume up to 9700W at 240 Vac, a circuit breaker of 40 Amp with wire gauge #8AWG shall be used.
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 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
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 (time­delay 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.
Figure 3
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. See Cooktop
Cleaning and Maintenance section in the Use and Care Guide.

ELECTRIC COOKTOP INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
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 cooper 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 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 cooktop 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 circuit breaker, fuse box or junction box: connect appliance and power supply cable wires as shown in figure 5.

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 through the neutral (white) wire. When grounding through the neutral (white) wire is prohibited, you must use a 4-wire power supply cable. See Figure 6 & 7. Failure to heed this warning may result in electrocution or other serious personal injury.

If your cooktop has a 3-wire cable (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.
