Toeliminate the risk of burns
or fire resulting from 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

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. Besure 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 cooktop is installed and grounded

properly by a qualified installer or service
technician.

• These cooktops must be electrically grounded in

accordance with local codes or, in their absence,
with the National 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.

An extension cord must not be used
with this appliance. Such use may result in a fire,
electrical shock, or other personal 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 cable extending from this appliance should
be connected directly to the grounded junction box.
The 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
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 cooktop
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. NOTE: DO NOT connect the wire to the
circuit panel at this time. Wait until all wires have been
connected in the junction box.

Electrical Requirements
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 (a 40A
time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended).

DO NOT fuse neutral.

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

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

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

and Serial Plate

(Under Cooktop)

,

Leave corner supports on cooktop until completion
of Electrical Connection.

2.

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 Cooktop
Cleaning and Maintenance section in the Use and

Care Guide.

Model and Serial Number Location
The serial plate is located under the cooktop.

When ordering parts for or making inquires about your
cooktop, always be sure to include the model and serial
numbers and a lot number or letter from the serial plate

on your cooktop.

Electrical connection
It is the responsibility and obligation of the consumer to

contact a qualified installer to assure that the electrical
installation is adequate and is in conformance with the

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.

Where local codes permit connecting the appliance-
grounding conductor to the neutral (white) wire
(US Only) (see figure 4):

1. Disconnect the power supply.

2. In the junction box:
connect appliance and power supply cable wires as
shown in Figure 4.

Risk of electrical shock (Failure to

heed this warning may result in electrocution or
other serious injury,) This appliance is equipped
with copper lead wire, If connection is made to
aluminum house wiring, use only connectors that
are approved for joining copper and aluminum wire

in accordance with the National Electrical Code
and local code and ordinances. When installing

connectors having screws which bear directly on
the steel and/or aluminum flexible conduit, do no

tighten screws sufficiently to damage the flexible
conduit. Do not over bend or excessively distort
flexible conduit to avoid separation of convolutions
en exposure of internal wires.

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.

(If your appliance is equipped with a

white neutral conductor,)
This appliance is manufactured with a white neutral

power supply and a frame connected copper wire,
The frame is grounded by connection of grounding

lead to neutral lead at the termination of the
conduit, if used in USA, in a new branch circuit
installation (1996 NEC), mobile home, recreational

vehicles, where local code do not permit grounding
trough the neutral (white) wire or in Canada,
disconnect the white and green lead from each
other and use ground lead to ground unit in

accordance with local codes, connect neutral lead
to branch circuit-neutral conductor in usual manner

see Figure 5. If your appliance is to be connected
to a 3 wire grounded junction box (US only),
where local code permit connecting the appliance-
grounding conductor to the neutral (white) see
Figure 4.

If the appliance is used in a new branch circuit

vehicle, or where local codes DO NOT permit
grounding through the neutral (white) wire, the
appliance frame MUST NOT be connected to the
neutral wire of the 4-wire electrical system. (see
figure 5):

1. Disconnect the power supply.

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

3. In the junction box:
connect appliance and power supply cable wires as
shown in Figure 5.

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.
