_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. Readall 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 leavethese instructions with the consumer.

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

future reference.

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.

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.

IF!,,_,l,_l=t_ll_[_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. DO NOT connect the wire to the circuit panel at

this time.

Electrical Requirements

This appliance must be supplied with the proper voltage
and frequency, and connected to an individual, properly
grounded branch circuit, protected by a circuit breaker or

fuse. To know the circuit breaker or fuse recommended
for your model, see the serial plate to find the wattage

consumption and refer to table A to get the circuit

breaker or fuse amperage.

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

1. Leave corner supports on cooktop until completion
of Electrical Connection.

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
smoothtop be pretreated before use. See Ceramic
Glass 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.

If your cooktop has a 4-wire cable to be connected

to a 3-wire grounded junction box (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.

DO NOT ground to a gas supply pipe.

DO NOT connect to electrical power supply until

on the power, permanently connect the ground wire
first, then complete all remaining wire connections.
Secure the cover onto the junction box.

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 through the

neutral (white) wire. When grounding through the
neutral (white) wire is prohibited, you must use a

4-wire power supply cable. See Figure 6 & 7.

Failure to heed this warning may result in
