IMPORTANT SAFETYINSTRUCTIONS

FORYOUR SAFETY

• For Personal Safety, remove house fuse or open circuit breaker before beginning installation. Failure to do so could result in serious injury or

death.

• Be sure your cooktop is installed properly by a qualified installer or service technician.

• To eliminate the risk of burns or fire due to reaching over heated surface elements, cabinet

storage located above the surface units should be avoided. If cabinet storage space is to be provided, the risk can be reduced by installing a range hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5" beyond the bottom of the cabinets. Cabinet installation above the cooktop may be no deeper

than 13".

• Make sure the cabinets and wall coverings around the cooktop can withstand the temperatures (up to 200°F) generated by the cooktop.

• The cooktop should be easy to reach and lighted with natural light during the day.

• Always disconnect the electrical service to the cooktop before repairing or servicing the cooktop. This can be done by disconnecting the

fuse or circuit breaker. Failure to do this could result in a dangerous or fatal shock. Know where

your main disconnect switch is located. If you do

not know, have your electrician show you.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

This appliance must be supplied with the proper voltage and frequency, and connected to an individual, properly grounded branch circuit, protected by a circuit breaker or a time delay fuse as noted on name plate.

We recommend you have the electrical wiring and hookup of your cooktop connected by a qualified

electrician. After installation, have the electrician show you where your main cooktop disconnect is

located. Wiring must conform to National Electrical Code.

You can get a copy of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-Latest Edition, by writing:

The cooktop conduit wiring is approved for copper wire connection only, and if you have aluminum house wiring, you must use special UL approved connectors for joining copper to aluminum.

You must use a two-wire, three conductor 208/240 VAC, 60 Hertz electrical system. A white (neutral)

wire is not needed for this unit. The cooktop must be installed in a circuit that does not exceed 125

VAC nominal to ground. Refer to the name plate on your cooktop for the
