the fuse size and rating of the appliance in accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70–latest edition.

WARNING

with this appliance. Such use may result in a ﬁ re, electrical shock, or other personal injury.

2. The appliance should be connected to the fused disconnect (or circuit breaker) box through ﬂ exible armored or nonmetallic sheathed cable. The ﬂ exible 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 4 with as much slack as possible remaining in the cable between the box and the appliance, so it can be moved if servicing

An extension cord must not be used

ELECTRIC COOKTOP INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Positioning the cooktop

The exhaust vent from the cooktop must be located between wall studs or ﬂ oor joists so that the ductwork

may be installed properly

Prepare Base Cabinet

This cooktop is designed to ﬁ t easily into a variety of cabinets. However, some cabinets may require

modiﬁ cations.

2.1

Preparing a cabinet with drawers

If the cabinet has drawers, the drawers must be removed and the drawer fronts attached to the front of

the cabinet.

2.2

Verify internal length and width of base

cabinet

In some cabinets, the sides or back wall may need to be cut out, and the corner braces removed in order to

accommodate the unit.

2.3

Counter top cutout

Countertops with a rolled front edge and radius at the base of the backsplash may not provide the ﬂ at surface

area required to accommodate the cooktop. Cut countertop opening according to the dimensions

shown in Figure 2 . The opening must be cut squarely with sides parallel to each other, front and rear

perpendicular to the sides.

Provide Electrical Connection

2.4

Install the junction box under the cabinet within shaded area shown in Figure 4 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. Wait until all wires have been connected in the junction box.

Makeup Air

Local building codes may require the use of makeup air systems. Consult local codes to determine speciﬁ c makeup air requirements for your installation.

Kit 316902492 is available to reduce airﬂ ow below 400CFM.

Blower to Ductwork Alignment

The use of ﬂ exible ducting is discouraged because it can severely restrict airﬂ ow. If the blower outlet and the ﬂ oor or wall duct location DO NOT align, then ﬂ exible METAL ducting can be used to adapt to an offset.
