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. A
50A minimum time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is
needed. DO NOT fuse neutral.
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.
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

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
2
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.

Preparing for Ductwork
Cut hole in cabinet wall or fl oor as appropriate for your
installation. Make sure exhaust duct is located between
wall studs or fl oor joists.
WARNING
DO NOT vent into a wall, ceiling, crawlspace, attic
or any concealed space.
WARNING
ceiling, DO NOT damage electrical wiring and other
hidden utilities.
The blower can be installed to exhaust down or to the
back. See Figure 5 or 6 for the location of the exhaust
outlet for bottom or rear discharge.

Installing the Ductwork
Use galvanized or aluminum duct in 6” round or 31⁄4”
x 10" size, or a combination of both. PVC duct should
be used if installing under a poured concrete slab.
Use the shortest and straightest duct run possible.
For satisfactory performance, the duct run should
not exceed 100 feet equivalent length. Refer to the
“Calculating Duct Length” chart for equivalent lengths.
(see page 13).
NOTE: Local building code must be followed in
specifying approved type and schedule of ALL duct
used. Always use an appropriate roof or wall cap with
damper.

CAUTION
to lift or move the cooktop into position – glass
breakage may occur (Figure 13).
Lower the cooktop into the countertop opening, guiding
it into position. Glass is fragile—DO NOT allow it to
drop onto the countertop. Support from the underside
and lower slowly. Carefully remove your fi ngers one
corner at a time to lower the cooktop into position.
DO NOT use the glass top vent opening
Check for glass fl atness to the countertop. Verify that
the cutout is sized properly, that nothing is between
the glass and the countertop, and that no parts of the
burner box are binding or caught on the countertop.
Check for Visual Gap

Remove the two screws in the bottom of the cooktop
near the center of each of the ends. Use the two
screws to attach the hold down brackets to the bottom
of the cooktop. Insert the screw into the bracket until
it contacts the backside of the countertop, to prevent
damage to the countertop, DO NOT over tighten the
screw. Figure 15 & 16.

Blower electrical connection
Connect the 5-pin plug on the blower assembly to
the matching 5-pin receptacle on the bottom of the
cooktop, making sure to engage the locking tabs on
the connectors.
Fold all wires into the wire box on the end of the blower
conduit. Fasten the wire box to the cooktop with two
#8-18 making sure that no wires are trapped.

Electrical connections
Note to Electrician: The insulation of the power
leads supplied with this appliance are UL-recognized
for temperatures much higher than the temperature
rating of household wiring. DO NOT replace the wires
in the conduit with household wiring.
Aluminum Wiring
WARNING
IMPROPER CONNECTION OF
ALUMINUM HOUSE WIRING TO THE COPPER
LEADS CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS PROBLEMS.
Attach copper wires to aluminum wiring using special
connectors designed and UL-listed for joining copper
to aluminum. Follow the connector manufacturer’s
recommended procedure closely.
It is the responsibility and obligation of the consumer to
contact a qualifi ed installer to assure that the electrical
installation is adequate and is in conformance with
the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70latest edition, or with CSA Standard C22.1, Canadian
Electrical Code, Part 1, and local codes and
ordinances.

CONNECT BLOWER TO COOKTOP
WARNING
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 fl exible conduit, do no
tighten screws suffi ciently to damage the fl exible
conduit. DO NOT over bend or excessively distort
fl exible conduit to avoid separation of convolutions
and exposure of internal wires.
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.

ELECTRIC COOKTOP INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
(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 23. 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 22.
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.
Where local codes permit connecting the
appliance-grounding conductor to the neutral
(white) wire:
If your cooktop has a 4-wire cable to be connected
to a 3-wire grounded junction box (see fi gure 22):
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 fi gure 22.
Cable from Power Supply
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.
If your cooktop has a 4 wire cable (see fi gure 23):
1. Disconnect the power supply.
2. Separate the green (or bare copper) and white
appliance cable wires.
3. In the circuit breaker, fuse box or junction box:
connect appliance and power supply cable wires as
shown in fi gure 23.
