Safety Practices for Servicer

Safe and satisfactory operation of electric cooktops depends upon its design and proper installation. However, there is one more area of safety to be considered:

Before Installing

Installing the electric cooktop in compliance with local electrical building codes results in proper operation and consumer satisfaction with the cooktop.

Receiving Cooktop

• Inspect cooktop thoroughly at time of delivery.

• Immediately report any visible damage to carrier.

• Damage not discovered until after accepting delivery can still be claimed by using a concealed damage report form, available from the carrier’s agent.

All shipments, i.e., complete cooktop or parts, are shipped at the buyer’s risk. Maytag responsibility ends when the consignment is accepted by the carrier in “good order.” Mayt ag supports damage claims by supplying invoices, bills of loading and other documentation as needed. Providing this assistance, however , does not imply any responsibility for settling claims.

• Do not deduct claims for loss or damage from the invoice and do not withhold payment pending adjustment of claims.

• Do not return any units or parts for credit without written consent.

Unpacking

• Open the carton and slide cooktop out.

• Remove all literature packed with the cooktop and place cooktop onto a protective flat surface.

• Avoid countertop damage by NOT sliding cooktop across the countertop.

CAUTION

Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above cooktop. Children may climb on cooktop to reach these items and become seriously injured.

Electrical Requirements

220-volt, 60 Hertz, individual circuit which is properly grounded, polarized and protected by a circuit breaker or fuse.

The neutral of this unit is grounded to the frame through the solid copper grounding wire. If local conditions do not permit grounding of the neutral, untwist or disconnect the solid copper wire and connect the soild copper wire to ground in accordance with local codes. Connect the white neutral to the service neutral.

Electrical Connection

All wire connections must be in accordance with local codes. Use National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-Latest Edition in the absence of local codes.

A three-wire, single phase, 120/240 VAC 60 Hz, electric system (properly circuit protected to meet local Codes of NFPA No. 70) must be provided. The chart below recommends the minimum circuit protector and wire size if the appliance is the only unit on the circuit. If smaller sizes of wire is used, the efficiency will be reduced and a fire hazard may be created. It is advisable that the elctrical wiring and hookup be completed by a certified electrian.
