_To eliminate the risk of burns
or fire by reaching over heated surfaces,
cabinet storage space located above the

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. 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.

Important 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,
electrical 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.

I

PORTANT SAFETY

I

o

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 National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No.
70--latest 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 in serious
injury or death.

UCTION

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.

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.

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.

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. 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.

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.

3

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 cooktop

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

if cooktop is used in a new branch circuit

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.

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

If connecting to a 4-wire power supply

cable electrical 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-listed 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.

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.

Serial plate is located
under the burner box

of cooktop.
