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 immediately
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. When installing cooktop, use minimum dimensions given.
• To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over the 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" (12.7 cm) beyond
the bottom of the cabinets. The cooktop must be a specified cooktop that is approved to
be installed either alone or over an undercounter built-in oven. Check the cooktop base for an approved installation label. If
you do not find this label, contact your dealer to confirm that your cooktop is approved.
Ovens approved for this type of installation will have an approval label located on the top of the oven. Ifyou do not find this label, contact your dealer to confirm that your oven is approved. Refer to oven manufacturer's Installation
Instructions for approval for built-in undercounter use and proper cutout dimensions.
The cooktop should be installed away from strong draft areas, such as windows, doors, fans or strong heating vents. The
cooktop should be located for convenient use in the kitchen. Use the countertop opening dimensions that are given with
these Installation Instructions. Given dimensions are minimum clearances and provide 0" (0 cm) clearance.
Grounded electrical supply is required. See "Electrical Requirements" section.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damage, check with your builder or cabinet supplier to make sure that the materials used will not
discolor, delaminate or sustain other damage.

Cabinet Dimensions
IMPORTANT: If installing a range hood or microwave hood combination above the cooktop, follow the range hood or
microwave hood combination installation instructions for dimensional clearances above the cooktop surface.

NOTES: After making the countertop cutout, some installations may require notching down the base cabinet side walls to clear
the cooktop base. To avoid this modification, use a base cabinet with sidewalls wider than the cutout.
If cabinet has a drawer, a 41/8'' (10.5 cm) depth clearance from the top of the countertop to the top of the drawer (or other
obstruction) in base cabinet is required.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Disconnect power before servicing. Use 8 gauge copper wire.
Electrically ground cooktop. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrical installer determine that the ground path and wire gauge are in accordance with local
codes. Check with a qualified electrical installer if you are not sure the
cooktop is properly grounded. Make sure that the electrical connection and wire size are
adequate and in conformance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-latest edition or CSA Standards C22.1-94, Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1 and C22.2 No. O-M91-1atest
edition, and all local codes and ordinances.
A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from:

Before You Make the Electrical Connection:
To properly install your cooktop, you must determine the type of electrical connection you will be using and follow the instructions
provided for it here.
• A 3-wire or 4-wire, single phase, 240 volt, 60-Hz., AC only electrical supply is required on a separate, 40-amp circuit for 30" (76.2 cm) models or 50-amp circuit for 36" (91.4 cm) models, fused on both sides of the line. The model/serial
number rating plate is located on the metal cabinet underneath the cooktop. See the following illustration.
A
A. Model/serial number plate
The cooktop is rated 240 volt and does not have a neutral (white) wire.
The cooktop should be connected directly to the junction box through flexible, armored or nonmetallic 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 becomes necessary in the future.
Do not cut the conduit. The length of conduit provided is for serviceability of the cooktop.
A UL listed or CSA approved conduit connector must be provided at each end of the power supply cable (at the cooktop and at the junction box). A listed conduit connector is
already provided at the cooktop.
• If the house has aluminum wiring follow the procedure below:
1. Connect a section of solid copper wire to the pigtail
leads.
2. Connect the aluminum wiring to the added section of
copper wire using special connectors and/or tools
designed and UL listed for joining copper to aluminum. Follow the electrical connector manufacturer's recommended procedure. Aluminum/copper connection must conform with
local codes and industry accepted wiring practices.
INSTALLATIONINSTRUCTIONS
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install cooktop. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
1. Decide on the final location for the cooktop.
2. Using 2 or more people, place the cooktop upside down on a covered surface.
3. Remove foam strip from literature packing. Remove backing from foam strip. Apply foam strip adhesive-side down around bottom of cooktop, flush with edge.
NOTE: The foam strip keeps debris from the underside of the cooktop glass and helps the cooktop sit flat on uneven
counters.
2. Remove junction box cover, if present.
3. Connect the flexible cable conduit from the cooktop to the junction box using a UL listed or CSA approved conduit
connector.
4. Tighten screws on conduit connector if present.
5. See "Electrical Connection Options" chart to complete installation for your type of electrical connection.
