Before youstart,,,
Your safety and the safety of
others are very important.
We have provided many important
safety messages in this manual and
on your appliance. AKuays read and
obey all safety messages.
This is the safety alert
symbol.
This symbol alerts you to
potential hazards that can kill or hurt
you and others.
All safety messages will follow the
safety alert symbol and either the
word "DANGER" or "WARNING".
These words mean:
You can be killed or seriously
injured if you don't immediateIx
follow instructions.
You can be killed or seriously
injured if you don't follow
instructions.
All safety messages will tell you
what the potential hazard is, tell you
how to reduce the chance of injury,
and tell you what can happen if the
instructions are not followed.
important: Observe all governing
codes and ordinances.
To eliminate the risk of burns by
reaching over 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 inches (12.7 cm) beyond
the bottom of the cabinets.
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.
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 suppmy is
required. See "Electrical requirements,"
Page 4.
important:
Observe aH 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.
Replacement 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

240-volt cooktop
A E 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 modeVserial
rating plate located on the bottom of
the cooktop.
BE 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.
O E 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.
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.
E m A U.L- or CSAqisted conduit
connector must be provided at each
end of the power supply cable (at the
cooktop and at the junction box.)
FE If the house has aluminum wiring,
follow the procedure below:
a.) Connect the aluminum wiring to the
copper wire by using special
connectors designed and
Underwriters Laboritoriesqisted for
joining copper to aluminum. Follow
the electrical connector
manufacturer's recommended
procedure.
b.) Aluminum/copper connection must
conform with local codes and
industry-accepted wiring practices.
120-volt cooktop
A 120-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only, 20-ampere,
fused electrical supply is required.
(Time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is
recommended.) It is recommended
that a separate circuit serving only this
appliance be provided. A NEMA 5-
20R, 3-prong ground-type outlet must
be used.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3-prong
outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions
can result in death, fire, or
electdca_ shock.
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, 3-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 wiJJnot
fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
