_To eliminate the riskof burns or fire by reachingover heated surfaces,cabinet

storage spacelocated above the cooktop should be avoided. If cabinet storage is provided, risk canbe reduced by installing a range hood that projectshorizontally a minimum of 5" (12.7 cm) beyond the bottom of the cabinets.

Important Notes to the Installer

1. Read all instructions contained in these installation instructions before installing the appliance.

2. Remove all packing material before connecting the electrical supply to the appliance.

3. Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

4. Be sure to leave these instructions with the consumer.

Important Note to the Consumer Keep these instructions with your Owner's Guide for the local electrical inspector's use and future reference.

IMPORTANT SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS

• Be sure your appliance is installed and grounded

properly by a qualified installer or service technician.

• These appliances must be electrically grounded in

accordance with local codes or, in their absence, with the National Electrical Code CSA Standard

C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1, in Canada.

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

with the American National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70-latest edition, or with Canadian CSA Standard

C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1, and local codes and ordinances.

An extension cord should not be used

with this appliance. Such use may result in a fire, electrical shock, or other personal injury.

2. The flexible armored cable extending from the appliance should be connected directly to the

junction box. The junction box should be located as

shown in Figure 1 or Figure 2 and with as much slack as possible remaining in the cable between the box and the appliance, so it can be moved if servicing is

ever necessary.

3. A suitable strain relief must be provided to attach the flexible armored cable to the junction box.

Unpacking Instructions

The electrical power to the appliance must be shut off while line connections are being made. Failure to do so could result 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

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 fuse. A circuit breaker or fuse is required by your

appliance. The circuit breaker or fuse amperage recommended for your appliance is 40A or 50A,

Observe all governing codes and local 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 (red and black wires). A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. DO NOT fuse neutral (white wire). Only certain cooktop models may be installed over certain built-in electric oven models. Approved cooktops and built-in ovens are listed by the MFG ID number (see the insert sheet included in the literature package).

Leave corner supports on appliance until completion

of Electrical Connection.

Be sure the bottle of cleaner conditioner packed

in the literature bag is left where the user can find it easily. It is important that the ceramic-glass smoothtop be pretreated before use. See Appliance Cleaning and Maintenance section in the Use and

Care Guide.

(Under Cooktop)

Electrical Connection

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

relief at the point the armored cable enters the junction box. Then make the electrical connection asfollows.

Improper connection of aluminum

house wiring to copper leads can result in a short circuit or fire. Follow the connector manufacturer

recommended procedure closely.

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.

Where local codes permit connecting the appliance- grounding conductor to the neutral (white) wire (USA only):

Your appliance has a 3-wire cable to be connected to a 3-wire grounded junction box (see figure 4):

1. Disconnect the power supply.

2. In the circuit breaker, fuse box or junction box: connect appliance and power supply cable wires as

shown in figure 4.

Wires

Electrical ground is required on this appliance. This appliance is manufactured with a frame connected

green (or bare copper) ground wire.

DO NOT ground to a gas supply pipe.

DO NOT connect to electrical power supply until appliance is permanently grounded. Connect the ground wire before turning on the power.

Your appliance is not equipped with a white neutral conductor:

Connect only to a 3-wire, 120/240V power supply; the neutral conductor is not required for the operation of the appliance. The potential at the power supply electrical connections shall be 150V to ground or less.

NOTE TO ELECTRICIAN: The armored cable leads supplied with the appliance are UL-recognized for

connection to larger gauge household wiring. The insulation of the leads is rated at temperatures much higher than temperature rating of household wiring. The current carrying capacity of the conductor is governed by the temperature rating of the insulation around the wire, rather than the wire gauge alone.

3-WIRE GROUNDED JUNCTION BOX

If cooktop is used in a new branch circuit installation (1996 NEC), mobile home, recreational

vehicle, or where local codes DO NOT permit grounding through the neutral (white) wire:

Your appliance has a 3-wire cable (see figure 5):

1. Disconnect the power supply.

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

appliance cable wires.

3. Cap the white wire from the power supply cable if a

3-wire appliance cable is supplied.

4. In the circuit breaker, fuse box or junction box:

connect appliance and power supply cable wires as shown in figure 5.

Checking Operation

Refer to the Use and Care Guide for operation

Do not touch the appliance glass or

elements. They may be hot enough to burn you.

Model and Serial Number Location

The serial plate is located under the cooktop. When ordering parts for or making inquires about your

appliance, always be sure to include the model and serial numbers and a lot number or letter from the serial plate on your cooktop.

Before You Call for Service

Read the Before You Call for Service Checklist and operating instructions in your Use and Care Guide.

It may save you time and expense. The list includes common occurrences that are not the result of defective

workmanship or materials in this appliance.

3. Set the appliance into the countertop cutout.

NOTE: Do not use caulking compound; the appliance should be removable for service when needed.

Do not remove the built-in springs on the edges of the appliance. These springs center the appliance in the space provided. The appliance must be centered to prevent excess heat buildup that may result in heat damage or fire (see Figure 10).
