_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.

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.

It is not recommended to

use drawer underneath cooktop. Empty space is

needed for installation purpose.

important Notes to the installer

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

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

3. Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

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

5. 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 and product code.

Importanf Note to the Consumer

Keep these instructions with your Use and Care Guide for

future reference.

_An extension cord must not be used with this appliance. Such use may result in a fire,

electrlcal shock, or other personal injury.

3. 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.

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

iMPORTANT SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS

° Be sure your cooktop is installed and grounded

properly by a qualified installer or service technician.

° This cooktop must be electrically grounded in

accordance with local codes or, in their absence,

with the Natlonal Electrlcal Code ANSi/NFPA No.

70mlatest edition in the United States.

_The electrlcal power to the cooktop must be shut off while llne 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.

Electrlcal 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 (time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is

recommended). DO NOT fuse neutral.

2. A circuit breaker or fuse rated at 40 Amp is recommended for the 30" model and a circuit

breaker or fuse at 50 Amp is recommended for the 36" model.

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 and local codes and ordinances.

Unpacking Instructions

1. Unpack and visually inspect the cooktop.

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 cooktop be pretreated before use. See Cooktop

Cleaning and Maintenance section in the Use and Care Guide.

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 as

follows. Electrical ground is required on this appliance.

V'___ Thls appliance is equipped with a copper conductor flexible cable. If connection is made

to aluminum house wiring, use only special connectors whlch are approved for joining copper and aluminum

wires in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances, improper connection

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

manufacturer recommended procedure closely.

This appliance is manufactured with a supply wire and a frame connected green or bare copper grounding

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.

if the cable from appliance is e_ed with 3 wires:

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

figure 3):

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 3.

_You may not ground the cooktap through the neutral (white) wire if cooktop is used in

a new branch circuit installation (1996 NEC), mobile

home, recreational vehicle, or where local codes do not permit grounding to the neutral (white) wire.

If cooktop is used in a new branch circuit installation (1996 NEC), mobile home, recreatlona[ vehicle, or

where local codes DO NOT permit grounding to the neutral (white) wire (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.

When grounding to the neutral (white) wire is prohibited, you must use a 4=wlre power supply

cable. See Figure 4. Failure to heed this warning may result in electrocution or other serious personal

injury.

Figure 4 = 4=WIRE GROUNDED JUNCTION BOX

_[f connecting to a 4=wire power supply cable e[ectrlca[ system, the appliance frame

connected ground wire MUST NOT be connected to the neutral wire of the 4=wire electrical system.

NOTE TO ELECTRiCiAN: The armored cable leads supplied with the appliance are UL-iisted 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 wire is governed by the temperature rating of the insulation around the wire, rather than the wire gauge alone.

if the cable from aj0_iiance is equipped with 4 wires:

Where local codes permit connecting the appliance- grounding conductor (wire) to the neutral (white) wire (see figure 5):

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 5.

This appliance is manufactured

wlfh 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 wlfh local codes, connect neutral lead to

branch circuif=neufral conductor in usual manner see Figure 6. If your appliance is to be connected to a 3

wire grounded junction box (US only), where local code permit connecting the appiiance=groundlng conductor to the neutral (white) see Figure 5.

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

or where local codes DO NOT permit grounding through the neutral (white) wire (see figure 6):

1. Disconnect the power supply.

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

3. In the circuit breaker, fuse box or junction box: connect appliance and power supply cable wires as shown in figure 6.
