_To eliminate the risk of burns or
fire by reaching over heated surfaces, cabinet
storage space located above the cooktop
should be avoided. If cabinet storage is
provided, risk can be reduced by installing a
range hood that projects horizontally a
minimum of 5" (12.7 cm) beyond the bottom

of the cabinets.

IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRU S

Be sure your cooktop is installed and grounded

properly by a quaJified installer or service
technician.

These cooktops must be electrically grounded in
accordance with locat codes or, in their absence,
with the Nationa! Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No.

70--latest edition in the United States, or with
CSA Standard C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code, Part
1, in Canada.

The electrical power to the cooktop
must be shut off while line connections are being
made. Faiture to do so coutd resutt in serious injury

or death.

Provide Electrical Connection

Install the junction box under the cabinet and run 120/
240 or 120/208 Volt, AC wire from the main circuit

panel. DO NOT connect the wire to the circuit panel at
this time.

Electrical Requirements

Observe all governing codes and tocaJ 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 (time-
delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended). DO

NOT fuse neutral. The fuse size must not exceed the
circuit rating of the appliance specified on the

nameplate.

2. This unit can consume up to 7300W at 240Vat, a
circuit breaker of 40 Amp with wire gauge #8AWG

shall be used.

NOTE: Wire sizes and connections must conform with
the fuse size and rating of the appliance in accordance

with tile National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70-
latest edition, or with CSA Standard C22.1, Canadian

Electrical Code, Part 1, and local codes and ordinances.

An extension cord must not be used
with this appliance. Such use may result in a fire,
eJectricat shock, or other personat injury.

2. The appliance should be connected to the fused

disconnect (or circuit breaker) box through flexible
armored or nonmetallic sheathed cable. The flexible

armored (.able extending from this appliance should
be connected directly to the grounded junction box.
Tile junction box should be located as shown in
Figure 2 with as much slack as possible remaining in
the cable between the box and the appliance, so it
(.an be moved if servicing is ever necessary.

3. A suitable strain relief must be provided to attach

the flexible armored (.able to the junction box.

Electrical Connection

Connect tile flexible armored cable that extends from
the surface unit to the junction box using a suitable

strain relief at tile point the armored cable enters the

junction box. Then make tile electrical connection as

described on next page.
Electrical ground is required on this appliance.
This appliance is equipped with a copper conductor

flexible cable. If connection is made to aluminum house
wiring, use only special connectors which are approved

for joining copper and aluminum wires in accordance
with the National Electrical Code and local codes and
ordinances.

This appliance is manufactured with a frame connected
green (or bare copper) ground wire.

Wheretocalcodes permit connecting the appliance-

grounding conductor to the neutral (white) wire

(see figure 3):
The 3-conductor cord or cable must be replaced with a 4-
conductor cord or cable where local codes prohibit grounding
through the neutral conductor, including new branch-circuit

installations (1996 NEC), mobile homes, or recreational

vehicles.

.

Disconnect tile power supply.

2.

In the circuit breaker, fuse box or junction box:
connect appliance and power supply cable wires as
shown on figure 3.

Where tocat codes DO NOT permit connecting the
appliance-grounding conductor to the neutral
(white} wire, or if connecting to 4-wire electrical
system (see figure 4}:

1. Disconnect the power supply.

2. Separate the green (or bare copper) and white
appliance cable wires.

3. Cap the white wire from tile power supply cable if a
3-wire appliance cable is supplied.

4. In tile circuit breaker, fuse box or junction box:
connect appliance and power supply cable wires as
shown on figure 4.
