ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Be sure your cooktop is installed and grounded
properly by a qualified installer or service
technician.
• This cooktop must be electrically grounded in
accordance with local codes or, in their absence,
with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No.
70, latest edition in the United States.
PROVIDING THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Install the junction box under the cabinet and run
120/240 or 120/208 volt, AC wire from the main
circuit panel.
NOTE: DO NOT connect the wire to the circuit
panel at this time.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Observe all governing codes and local
ordinances.
A 3-wire or 4-wire single-phase 120/240 or
120/208 volt, 60 Hz AC-only electrical supply is
required on a separate circuit fused on both
sides of the line (time-delay fuse or circuit
breaker is recommended). DO NOT fuse
neutral. The fuse size must not exceed the
circuit rating of the appliance specified on the
nameplate.
36” Radiant cooktop can consume up to
10,500W at 240 VAC. A 50 Amp circuit breaker
with wire guage #8 AWG must be used.
30” Radiant cooktop can consume up to 7700W
at 240 VAC. A 40 Amp circuit breaker with wire
guage #8 AWG must be used.
NOTE: Wire sizes and connections must
conform with the fuse size and rating of the
appliance in accordance with the National
Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70, latest
edition, and local codes and ordinances.
The appliance should be connected to the fused
disconnect (or circuit breaker) box through
flexible armored or nonmetallic sheathed cable.
The flexible armored cable extending from this
appliance should be connected directly to the
grounded junction box. The junction box should
be located as shown on page 21 or 23 with as
much slack as possible remaining in the cable
between the box and the appliance, so it can be
moved if servicing is ever necessary.
A suitable strain relief must be provided to
attach the flexible armored cable to the junction
box.
WARNING
The electrical power to the cooktop must be
shut off while line connections are being
made. Failure to do so could result in serious
injury or death.
WARNING
An extension cord must not be used with this
appliance. Such use may result in a fire,
electrical shock, or other personal injury.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS (cont.)
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Connect the flexible armored cable that extends
from the surface unit to the junction box using a
suitable strain relief at the point the armored cable
enters the junction box. Then make the electrical
connection as follows.
Electrical ground is required on this appliance.
This appliance is manufactured with a supply wire
and a frame connected green or bare copper
grounding wire.
NOTE TO ELECTRICIAN:
The armored cable leads supplied with the
appliance are UL-listed for connection to larger
gauge household wiring. The insulation of the leads
is rated at temperatures much higher than the
temperature rating of household wiring. The
current-carrying capacity of the conductor wire is
governed by the temperature rating of the
insulation around the wire, rather than the wire
gauge alone.
Observe all governing codes and local
ordinances.
Disconnect the power supply.
At the circuit breaker box, fuse box or junction
box, connect appliance and power supply cable
wires as shown.
WARNING
DO NOT ground to a gas supply pipe. DO
NOT connect to electrical power supply until
appliance is permanently grounded.
Connect the ground wire before turning on
the power.
WARNING
This appliance is equipped with a copper
conductor flexible cable. If connection is
made to aluminum house wiring, use only
special connectors which are approved for
joining copper and aluminum wires in
accordance with the National Electrical Code
and local codes and ordinances. Improper
connection of aluminum house wiring to
copper leads can result in a short circuit or
fire. Follow the connector manufacturer’s
recommended procedure closely.
WARNING
You may not ground the cooktop through the
neutral (white) wire if cooktop is used in a
new branch circuit installation (1996 NEC),
mobile home, recreational vehicle, or where
local codes do not permit grounding to the
neutral (white) wire. When grounding to the
neutral (white) wire is prohibited, you must
use a 4-wire power supply cable. Failure to
heed this warning may result in electrocution
or other serious personal injury.

Disconnect the power supply.
At the circuit breaker box, fuse box or junction
box, connect appliance and power supply cable
wires as shown.
WARNING
If connecting to a 4-wire power supply cable
electrical system, the appliance frame
connected ground wire MUST NOT be
connected to the neutral wire of the 4-wire
electrical system.

COOKTOP INSTALLATION
Visually inspect the cooktop for damage.
Make sure all cooktop screws are tight
(see below for locations).
Carefully lower the cooktop into the counter- top
cutout, making sure not to trap any wires.
NOTE: Do not use caulking compound. The
cooktop must be removable, should service be
required.

COOKTOP INSTALLATION (cont.)
FINAL CHECK
Perform a final operational check of the cooktop,
making sure the cooktop powers on properly and
that each Cooking Zone operates correctly. Refer
to the Operating Instructions in this guide for
details.
MODEL AND SERIAL NUMBER LOCA TION
The model and serial numbers are located on a
plate on the bottom of the cooktop. Please record
them in this guide; you will need them for warranty
registration.
CAUTION
Do not touch cooktop glass or Cooking
Zones. They may be hot enough to cause
burns.
Install the retainer brackets to the bottom of the
cooktop; then snug the bolts against the bottom
of the countertop as shown.
NOTE: The retainer brackets MUST be installed
to meet local codes or, in their absence, with
the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70,
latest edition.
