Electrical:
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-latest
edition, and all local codes and ordinances.
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.
●
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.

CABINET DIMENSIONS
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. If you 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.
LOCATION REQUIREMENTS
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.
