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 Instructions for
approval for built-under use and proper cutout

dimensions.
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," Panels A & B.
Important:

Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
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.
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

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.

240-volt cooktop

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 RCS2012 series requires a 20 ampere
circuit), fused on both sides of the line. A time-

delay 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.

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.

• 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.

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

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

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.

This cooktop is manufactured with a frame
connected, green or bare ground wire. Connect
the cooktop cable to the junction box through the

U.L.- or C.S.A.-listed conduit connector.
Complete electrical connection according to local

codes and ordinances.

Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can

result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

Recommended ground method

For your personal safety, this cooktop must be
grounded. This cooktop is equipped with a
power supply cord having a NEMA 5-20R
3-prong ground plug. To minimize possible shock
hazard, the cord must be plugged into a mating,
NEMA 5-20R, 8-prong ground-type outlet,
grounded in accordance with the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 -- latest edition,
and local codes and ordinances. (See Figure 1.)

If a mating outlet is not available, it is the
personal responsibility and obligation of the
customer to have a properly grounded,

NEMA 5-20R, 3-prong outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.

WARNING - Improper connection of the
equipment-grounding conductor can result in a
risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified
electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to
whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do
not modify the plug provided with the appliance -
if it wiii not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
