Electrical Requirements

If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrical installer determine that the ground path and wire gauge are in accordance with local codes.

Check with a qualified electrical installer if you are not sure the cooktop is properly grounded.

Make sure that the electrical connection and wire size are adequate and in conformance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-latest edition or CSA Standards C22.1-94, Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1 and C22.2 No. O-M91-latest edition, and all local codes and ordinances.

A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from:

Cleveland, OH 44131-5575

Before You Make the Electrical Connection:

To properly install your cooktop, you must determine the type of electrical connection you will be using and follow the instructions provided for it here.

■ A 3-wire or 4-wire, single phase, 120/240 volt, 60-Hz., AC

only electrical supply is required on a separate, 40-amp circuit fused on both sides of the line. The model/serial number rating plate is located on the metal cabinet underneath the cooktop. See the following illustration.

NOTE: A separate 30-amp circuit fused on both sides of the line can be used for models W5CE3024 and G9CE3065.

A. Model/serial number plate

■ The cooktop is rated 120/240 volt. Some models have a

WARNING

Excessive Weight Hazard Use two or more people to move and install cooktop. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

neutral (white) wire.

■ The cooktop should be connected directly to the junction box

through flexible, armored or nonmetallic sheathed, copper cable. The flexible, armored cable extending from the fuse box or circuit breaker box should be connected directly to the junction box.

■ Locate the junction box to allow as much slack as possible

between the junction box and the cooktop so that the cooktop can be moved if servicing becomes necessary in the future.

■ Do not cut the conduit. Use the length of conduit provided.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

■ A UL listed or CSA approved conduit connector must be

provided at each end of the power supply cable (at the cooktop and at the junction box). A listed conduit connector is already provided at the cooktop.

■ If the house has aluminum wiring, follow the procedure

below:

1. Connect a section of solid copper wire to the pigtail

leads.

2. Connect the aluminum wiring to the added section of

copper wire using special connectors and/or tools designed and UL listed for joining copper to aluminum.

Follow the electrical connector manufacturer's recommended procedure. Aluminum/copper connection must conform with local codes and industry accepted wiring practices.

Prepare Cooktop for Installation

Decide on the final location for the cooktop. Avoid drilling into or severing existing wiring during installation.

1. Using 2 or more people, place the cooktop upside down on a

covered surface using the foam end posts from the packaging. Make sure that the knobs are not resting on the foam.

2. Remove foam strip roll from the package containing literature.

The roll contains four ¼" (0.64 cm) strips of foam. Remove one strip at a time and apply foam strip adhesive-side down around bottom of the cooktop glass.

NOTE: The foam strip helps avoid damage to the underside of the cooktop glass from debris and helps the cooktop sit flat on uneven counters.

Install Cooktop

Style 1: Cooktop over undercounter built-in oven

IMPORTANT: Clamping brackets should not be used.

1. Using 2 or more people, place cooktop right side up into the

cutout. NOTE: Make sure that the front edge of the cooktop is

parallel to the front edge of the countertop. If repositioning is needed, lift entire cooktop up from cutout to avoid scratching the countertop.

Style 2: Cooktop over cabinets

1. Determine whether your cabinet construction provides

clearance for installing clamping brackets at cooktop base ends.
