LocationRequirements

Proper installation is your responsibility. 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.

■The cooktop must be a specified cooktop that is approved to be installed either alone or over an undercounter built-in oven. Check the cooktop burner box for an approved installation label. If you do not find this label, contact your dealer to confirm that your cooktop is approved.

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

■When installing cooktop over an undercounter built-in oven, do not fasten cooktop to countertop with clamps. This will make the cooktop easier to remove if future servicing becomes necessary.

ElectricalRequirements

For all models except KECC051 series:

WARNING

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.

For model KECC051 series only:

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Disconnect power before servicing.

Use 12 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.

Do not ground to a gas pipe.

Check with a qualified electrical installer if you are not sure the cooktop is properly grounded.

Do not 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

Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269

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, 40-amp circuit, fused on both sides of the line.

NOTE: The KECC051 model series requires a 20-amp circuit.

■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. Use the length of conduit provided.

■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, connect the aluminum wiring to the copper wire by using special connectors 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.

WARNING

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install cooktop. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

1.Decide on the final location for the cooktop. Locate existing wiring to prevent drilling into or severing wiring during installation.

2.Using two or more people, place the cooktop upside down on a protective surface.

3.Remove foam strip from literature packing. Remove backing from foam strip. Apply foam strip adhesive-side down around bottom of cooktop, flush with edge.

NOTE: The foam strip protects the underside of the cooktop glass from debris and helps the cooktop sit flat on uneven counters.
