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 4-wire or 3-wire, single phase, 120/240 volt, 60 Hz., AC only electrical
supply is required on a separate, 40-amp circuit (45" [114.3 cm] models) or
40-amp circuit (30" [76.2 cm] models), fused on both sides of the line.
●
The cooktop should be connected directly to the junction box in the cabinet
through the flexible metal conduit. The flexible, armored cable extending from
the fuse box or circuit breaker box should be connected directly to the
cooktop wiring box.
●
Locate the junction box in the cabinet 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.
●
A UL listed or CSA approved conduit connector must be provided at each end
of the power supply cable (at the cooktop wiring box and at the junction box
in the cabinet).
●
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.

NOTES: After making the countertop cutout, some installations may
require notching down the base cabinet side walls to clear the cooktop
base. To avoid this modification, use a base cabinet with sidewalls wider
than the cutout.
●
Where possible, a 6" (15.2 cm) clearance is recommended for motor
blower service. A minimum clearance of 1" (2.5 cm) is recommended to
the sidewalls and a ³⁄₄" (1.9 cm) clearance is recommended to the rear
wall.
●
A minimum clearance of 2" (5.1 cm) is recommended between the
motor/blower and cabinet for proper cooling.
●
A minimum clearance of 6¹⁄₄" (15.9 cm) is recommended for removal of
the grease container(s). Installed dimension for the grease containers is
5¹⁄₂" (14.0 cm).
●
For grills installed near a sidewall, a minimum clearance of 6" (15.2 cm)
is recommended between the cooktop and sidewall for maximum
performance.
