You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t
follow instructions.

WARNING

D ANGER

Proper installation is your responsibility. Make
sure you have everything for correct installation.
It is the responsibility of the installer to comply
with the installation clearances specified in these
instructions.

Cooktop installed over oven installation: Only
certain specified cooktop and oven models are
approved for cooktop over oven installations.
Cooktops approved for this type of installation
will have an approval label located on the outside
of the burner box. If you do not find this label,
contact your dealer to confirm that cooktop is
approved.The label on the bottom of your
cooktop lists the cooktop and oven combinations
that are approved for this type of installation.

Ovens approved for this type of installation will
have an approval label located on top of oven. If
you do not find this label, contact dealer to
confirm that oven is approved.Refer to oven
manufacturer’s Installation Instr uctions for
approval for built-under use and proper cutout
dimensions.

When installing cooktop over a built-under
oven, Do Not fasten cooktop to countertop with

clamps. Cooktop then will be easy to remove if
servicing is ever necessary.

Check location where cooktop will be installed.
The location should be away from strong draft
areas, such as windows, doors and strong
heating vents or fans.The cooktop should be
located for convenient use in the kitchen.

Grounded electrical supply is required. See
“Electrical requirements,” Panel B.

Important:
Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

Failure to meet governing codes and
ordinances could lead to fire or electrical
shock.

When installing a cooktop under existing
cabinets and the installation does not meet the
minimum cabinet clearances.Install a range
hood above the cooktop to avoid burn hazards.

Countertop opening dimensions that are
shown must be used. Given dimensions are
minimum clearances and provide required 0"
(0 cm) clearance.

New installations — follow minimum
dimensions given.

Replacement installations — Be sure that
front edge of cooktop is at least 1-1/2"
(3.8 cm) back from front edge of countertop.

It is the customer’s responsibility:
To contact a qualified electrical installer.
To assure that the electrical installation is

adequate and in conformance with National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 — latest
edition**, or CSA Standards
C22.1-94, Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1
and C22.2 No. 0-M91 - latest edition *** and all
local codes and ordinances.

Electrical requirements

If codes permit and a separate ground wire is
used, it is recommended that a qualified
electrician determine that the ground path is
adequate.

Do Not ground to a gas pipe.
Check with a qualified electrician if you are

not sure the cooktop is properly grounded.
Do Not have a fuse in the neutral or ground

circuit.
IMPORTANT:

Save Installation Instructions for electrical
inspector’s use.

A.A three-wire or four-wire, single phase,

240-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only electrical supply is
required on a separate, 40-ampere circuit, (Note:
The KECC051 series requires a 20-ampere
circuit), fused on both sides of the line. A time­delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended.
The fuse size must not exceed the circuit rating
of the appliance specified on the model/serial
rating plate located on the bottom of the cooktop.

B.THE COOKTOP MUST BE

CONNECTED WITH COPPER WIRE ONLY.

C.Wire sizes and connections must conform

to the requirements of the National Electrical
Code ANSI/NFPA 70 – latest edition **, or CSA
Standards C22.1-94, Canadian Electrical Code,
Part 1 and C22.2 No.0-M91 - latest edition ***
and all local codes and ordinances.

D.The cooktop should be connected directly

to the fused disconnect or circuit breaker box
through flexible, armored or non-metallic
sheathed, copper cable.The flexible, armored
cable extending from the fuse box or circuit
breaker box should be connected directly to the
junction box.

1. Follow steps 1 and 2 from “A” above.

2. Connect the bare cooktop wire with the white

wire; the two red wires together; and the two
black wires together using twist-on connectors.
(See Figure 2.)

A.Where local codes Do Not permit

connecting the frame-ground conductor to
the neutral (white) junction box wire. (Used
for Canadian installations):

3-wire cable from power supply

junction box

black wires

connectors

U.L.- or C.S.A.- listed
conduit connector

3-wire cable from cooktop

bare ground wire

1. Disconnect power supply.

2. Connect the flexible, armored cable from the

cooktop to the junction box using a U.L.- or
C.S.A.-listed conduit connector. Tighten screws
on conduit connector.

3. Connect the two black wires together; then
connect the two red wires together using twist­on connector.(See Figure 1.)

4. Connect the green or bare ground wire from
the cooktop cable to the grounded wire in the
junction box or other grounded connector
using twist-on connector.

5. Put a twist-on connector on end of white wire.

must be provided at each end of the power
supply cable (at the cooktop and at the junction
box).

E.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 is ever necessary. Do Not cut the

conduit.

This cooktop must be connected to a
grounded, metallic permanent wiring system
or a ground connector should be connected
to the ground terminal or wire lead on the
cooktop.
