It is recommended that all electrical connections be made by a
licensed, qualified electrical installer.
Location Requirements
Make sure you have everything needed for correct installation. It
is the responsibility of the installer to comply with the installation
clearances specified in these instructions.
IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
When installing cooktop, use minimum dimensions given.
■ To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over the
heated surface units, cabinet storage space located above
the surface units should be avoided. If cabinet storage is to
be provided, the 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.
■ It is the installer’s responsibility to comply with installation
clearances specified on the model/serial rating plate. The
model/serial rating plate is located on the underside of the
cooktop burner box.
■ Marker or pencil
■ Pliers
■ ¼" drill bit
■ Jigsaw

■ Check the cooktop base for an approved installation label.
Verify approved oven model number. If you don't find this
label, your cooktop should not be used over a built-in oven.
Contact your dealer to confirm that your cooktop is
approved.
■ Use the countertop opening dimensions that are given with
these Installation Instructions. Given dimensions are
minimum clearances and provide 0" (0 cm) clearance.
■ Grounded electrical supply is required. See “Electrical
Requirements” section.

NOTES: After you make the countertop cutout, some
installations may require notching down the base cabinet side
walls to clear the cooktop base. To avoid this modification, use a
base cabinet with sidewalls wider than the cutout.
If cabinet has a drawer, a 5¹⁄₈" (13 cm) depth clearance from the
countertop to the top of the drawer (or other obstruction) in base
cabinet is required.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Disconnect power before servicing.
Use 8 gauge copper wire.
Electrically ground cooktop.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is
recommended that a qualified electrical installer determine that
the ground path and wire gauge are in accordance with local
codes.
Check with a qualified electrical installer if you are not sure the
cooktop is properly grounded.
It is not recommended to have a fuse in the neutral or ground
circuit.
Make sure that the electrical connection and wire size are
adequate and in conformance with the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70-latest edition or CSA Standards C22.1-94,
Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1 and C22.2 No. O-M91-latest
edition, and all local codes and ordinances.
A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from:
National Fire Protection Association
1 Batterymarch Park
Quincy, MA 02169-7471
CSA International
8501 East Pleasant Valley Road
Cleveland, OH 44131-5575
Before You Make the Electrical Connection:
To properly install your cooktop, you must determine the type of
electrical connection you will be using and follow the instructions
provided for it here.
■ A 4-wire or 3-wire, single phase, 240 volt, 60 Hz., AC only
electrical supply is required on a separate, 50-amp circuit
(36" [91.4 cm] models) or 40-amp circuit (30" [76.2 cm]
models), fused on both sides of the line.
■ The cooktop should be connected directly to the junction box
through flexible, armored or nonmetallic sheathed, copper
cable. The flexible, armored cable extending from the fuse
box or circuit breaker box should be connected directly to the
junction box.
■ Locate the junction box to allow as much slack as possible
between the junction box and the cooktop so that the
cooktop can be moved if servicing becomes necessary in the
future.
■ Do not cut the conduit. The length of conduit provided is for
serviceability of the cooktop.
■ A UL listed or CSA approved conduit connector must be
provided at each end of the power supply cable (at the
cooktop and at the junction box). A listed conduit connector
is already provided at the cooktop.

■ If the house has aluminum wiring, follow the procedure
below:
1. Connect a section of solid copper wire to the pigtail
leads.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Prepare Location
1. Decide on the final location for the cooktop.
NOTE: Countertop must be 1³⁄₁₆" (3.0 cm) to 2" (5.1 cm) thick.
2. If necessary, make cutout in countertop before installing
cooktop. See “Location Requirements” section for more
information.
3. Clean cutout of any remaining dust and debris.
Install Brackets
NOTE: Kit Part Number W10310006 is required for installing the
cooktop into a solid surface or marble countertop. See the
“Assistance or Service” section of the Use and Care Guide for
information on ordering.
To Install Brackets into Marble Countertop:
1. Clean the brackets and cooktop cutout of any dust and
debris.
2. Connect the aluminum wiring to the added section of
copper wire using special connectors and/or tools
designed and UL listed for joining copper to aluminum.
Follow the electrical connector manufacturer's recommended
procedure. Aluminum/copper connection must conform with
local codes and industry accepted wiring practices.
4. Position brackets in the center of the vertical centerline and
align the upper edge of the brackets so that they are flush
with the countertop.
5. Push the brackets firmly onto each side of the cooktop cutout
and wait 1 hour for adhesive to dry.
