Installation Instructions

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

FOR YOUR 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 and all local electrical codes. You can get a copy of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-Latest Edition, by writing:

National Fire Protection Association

Batterymarch Park Quincy, MA 02259

In Canada, wiring must conform to Canadian Electrical Code (CEC).

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 forjoining copper to aluminum. In Canada, you must use special CSA approved connectors forjoining 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.

Refer to the name plate on your cooktop for the KW rating for your cooktop.

These cooktops require 50 amp service.

Combination Installations

Awarning_ — The electrical power to

the cooktop supply line must be shut o1^ while

connections are being made. Failure to do so

could result in serious injury or death.

H When preparing cooktop opening, make sure

the inside of the cabinet and the cooktop do not interfere with each other. (See section on preparing the opening.)

E Remove packaging materials and literature

package from the cooktop before beginning installation.

These cooktops may be installed in combination with an approved downdraft vent or a single oven.

Cooktop and a Downdraft Vent

- The countertop must have a deep flat surface to accommodate the combined installation of the cooktop and vent.

- Consideration must be given to the separate electrical supply locations.

- Allow 12" clearance between the inlet air ports on the cooktop bottom toward the rear to any obstruction.

- Both the cooktop and the vent must be installed according to each specific product installation instruction.

Cooktop with a Single Oven

Installation Above Cabinet Drawers

Allow 12" clearance to combustibles below the cooktop. A drawer directly below the cooktop cannot be used to store items such as towels or paper products. Use a false drawer front to obtain clearance if necessary.

Moke sure you hove oil the tools and materials

you need before storting the installation of the cooktop.

Your home must provide the adequate

electrical service needed to safely and properly use your cooktop. (Refer to section on electrical requirements.)

When installing your cooktop in your home,

make sure all local codes and ordinances are followed exactly as stated.

NOTE TO ELECTRICIAN:

The power leads supplied with this appliance are

UL recognized for connections to larger gauge household wiring. The insulation of these leads is rated at temperatures much higher than the

temperature rating of household wiring. The current

carrying capacity of a conductor is governed by the

wire gauge and also the temperature rating of the

insulation around

the wire.

NOTE: ALUMINUM WIRING

• WARNING:

IMPROPER CONNECTION OF ALUMINUM

HOUSE WIRING TO THE COPPER LEADS CAN

RESULT IN A SERIOUS PROBLEM.

• Splice copper wires to aluminum wiring using

special connectors designed and UL approved forjoining copper to aluminum and follow the manufacturer's recommended connector procedure closely.

NOTE: Wire used, location and enclosure of splices,

etc., must conform to good wiring practice and local codes.
