Inorder to prevent faulty adjustment of the

controller sensorsdue to foreign light, the

intensity of illumination at the first power on

should not exceed 1000 lux. Direct irradiation
of the touch panel with light from aspotlight

should be avoided during the power process.

If the illumination exceeds 1000 lux, the

control doesn't display the version and stop

Important Notes to the Installer

1. Readall instructions contained inthese installation
instructions before installing the cooktop.

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

3. Observe all governing codesand ordinances.

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

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

future reference.

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.

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.

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.

_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.

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

Figure 3 (Under Cooktop)

1. If connecting to a 3-wire supply cable:

Connect the green (or bare copper) wire from the
appliance cable and the supply cable (green or bare)

wire to the ground screw inside the junction box (see
