_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

I. 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. (Refer to document

#318059843)

Important Note to the Consumer
Keep these instructions with your Use and Care Guide for

future reference.

RTANT SAFETY

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.

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.

INSTRUCTION

• 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 ANSJ/NFPA No.

70--Jatest edition in the United States.

_The eJectrical 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.

Electrical Requirements

Observe aH governing codes and local ordinances.

I. 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 50 Amp is

recommended for this appliance.

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. SeeCooktop 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 aJuminum 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.

(see figure 3):

I. 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.

mobile home, recreational vehicle, or where local
codes do not permit grounding to the neutral

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

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.
