Electrical: A four-wire or three-wire, singlephase, 240-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only electrical supply is required on a separate 30-ampere circuit, fused on both sides of the line. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. Connected directly to the fused disconnect (or circuit breaker box) through flexible, armored or non-metallic sheathed, copper cable (with ground wire). Flexible armored cable should connect cooktop directly to the junction box. A U.L.-listed 1/2" (12.7 mm) conduit connector must be provided at the junction box. The recommended minimum copper wire size is 10-gauge. However, wire sizes and connections must conform to the requirements of the National Electrical Code and all local codes and ordinances.

Venting system: Use metal vent only. Exception: Under a concrete slab, PVC may be used. Rigid metal vent is recommended. Do not use plastic or metal foil vent.

This downdraft cooktop is rated at 60 feet (18.3 m) of straight vent or the equivalent.

If vent length is 10 feet (3 m) or less, 6" (15.2 cm) diameter round vent may be used. If vent length is more than 10 feet (3 m), use 6" (15.2 cm) diameter round or 3-1/4" x 10" (8.3 x 25.4 cm) rectangular vent.

Venting system must terminate to the outside.

Cooktop location should be away from strong draft areas, such as windows, doors and strong heating vents or fans.

All openings in the wall or floor where cooktop is to be installed must be sealed.
