ele(trkal supply with ground.
Minimum distance between cooktop and overhead cabinetry is 30" (76.2 (m).

* 30" (76.2 cm) rain. for

unprotected cabinet and
24" (6! cm) rain. for cabinet
with protected bottom surface.

Empty space is needed for
installation purpose

_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 Notes to the Installer

1. Readallinstructionscontainedintheseinstallation
instructionsbeforeinstallingthecooktop.

2. Removeallpackingmaterialbeforeconnectingthe
electricalsupplytothecooktop.

3. Observeallgoverningcodesandordinances.

4. Besureto leavetheseinstructionswiththeconsumer.

Important Note to the Consumer
KeeptheseinstructionswithyourUseandCare Guide for

future reference.

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 tile grounded junction box.
The junction box should be located as shown in
Figure 2 with as much slack as possible remaining in
the (:able between tile box and the appliance, so it
can be moved if servicing is ever necessary.

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

IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRU S

Be sure your cooktop is installed and grounded

properly by a qualified installer or service
technician.

This cooktop must be electrkally grounded in
accordance with local codes or, in their absence,
with the Nationa[ Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No.

70--[atest edition in the United States.

_The electrical power to the cooktop

must be shut off while line connections are being
made. Failure to do so could result [n serious injury

or death.

Provide Electrical Connection

Install the junction box under the cabinet and FUrl120/
240 or 120/208 Volt, AC wire from tile main circuit

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

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 (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 8,000 W at 240 Vac. A
circuit breaker of 40 Amp with wire gauge #10AWG

shall be used.

Unpacking Instructions

1. Unpack and visually inspect the cooktop.

2. Be sure the bottle of (:leaner conditioner packed in the
literature bag is left where the user (:an 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
tile surface unit to tile iunction 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.

This app!iance is equipped with a

copper conductor flexible cable, tf connection is
made to aluminum house wiring, use onJy speciat
connectors which are approved for joining copper

and aluminum wires in accordance with the
National Electrical Code and local codes and

ordinances, 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 manufactured with a supply wire and a
frame connected green or bare copper grounding wire.

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

with the National Electrical Code ANS!/NFPA No. 70-
latest edition and local codes and ordinances.

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

DO NOT ground to a gas suppty pipe,

DO NOT connect to electrica! power suppJy until
appliance is permanently grounded, Connect the
ground wire before turning on the power.

Where local codes permit connecting the appJiance-
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.

Cable from Power Supply

tf cooktop is used in a new branch circuit installation
(1995 NEC), mobile home, recreational vehicle, or

where tocaJ codes DO NOT permit grounding to the
neutral (white) wire (see figure 4):

1. Disconnect tile power supply.

2. In the circuit breaker, fuse box or junction box,
connect appliance and power supply cable wires as
shown in figure 4.

You may not ground the cooktop

through the neutral (white} wire if cooktop is used
in a new branch circuit installation (!995 NEC),

mobile home, recreational vehicle, or where tocat
codes do not permit grounding to the neutraJ

(white) wire, When grounding to the neutral
(white} wire is prohibited, you must use a 4-wire
power supply cabJe, See Figure 4, Failure to heed
this warning may resuJt in electrocution or other
serious personal injury,

NOTE TO ELECTRICIAN: The armored cable leads
supplied with the appliance are ULqisted 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
tile temperature rating of tile insulation around the wire,
rather than tile wire gauge alone.
