INSTALLATION MANUAL
SPECIAL WARNING
INSTALLATION AND SERVICE MUST BE PERFORMED BY A QUALIFIED INSTALLER. 
IMPORTANT: SAVE this installation manual FOR LOCAL ELECTRICAL INSPECTOR’S USE. 
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
IMPORTANT NOTES TO THE INSTALLER
• Read all of the Installation Manual before installing the Induction 
cooktop.
• Remove all packing material before connecting the electrical 
supply.
• Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
• Be sure to leave these instructions with the consumer.
• All cooktops must be hard wired (direct wired) into an approved 
junction box. A “plug and receptacle” is not permitted on these 
products.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
 If the information in this manual is not followed 
exactly, a re or electrical shock may result that could cause 
property damage, personal injury or death.
 Never leave children alone or unattended in 
the area where a cooktop is in use.
 Stepping, leaning or sitting on the cooktop 
may result in serious injuries and can also cause damage to 
the cooktop.
• For Your Safety: Do not store or use gasoline or other ammable 
vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. 
To eliminate the risk of burns or re due to overheating, cabinets 
located above the induction unit should be avoided. If cabinet 
space is available, the risk can be reduced by installing a range 
hood that protects horizontally at a minimum of 5 inches below 
the bottom of the cabinets
• To prevent accidents and achieve optimal ventilation, allow for 
sufcient space around the cooking area. 
• Your cooktop can be installed into a countertop by itself or above 
a gas or electric wall oven.
• All electric cooktops run off a single phase, three-wire cable, 
240V/60Hz AC only electrical supply with ground. Minimum 
distance between cooktop and overhead cabinetry is 3
0".
BEFORE INSTALLING THE COOKTOP
1. Visually inspect the cooktop for damage. Also make sure all 
cooktop screws are on tight.
2. Record the model and serial number as found on the bottom of 
your cooktop. When ordering parts for or making inquiries about 
your cooktop, always be sure to include the model and serial 
numbers and a lot number or letter from the serial plate on your 
cooktop.
3. Prepare the cutout dimensions of the countertop.
4. Make sure the wall coverings, countertop and cabinets around 
the cooktop can withstand heat (up to 200°F) generated by the 
cooktop.
5. Gently lower the cooktop into the countertop cutout.
NOTE: Do not seal the cooktop to the countertop, the cooktop must 
be removable if service is necessary. The cooktops include spacers 
on bo t h sides to ensure prop e r ai row onc e in s t a l l e d. Do not remove 
the spacers. See Figure 6.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The Induction Cooktops must connect to a separate, single phase, 
AC Only electrical supply with their own circuit breaker. These 
appliances must be installed in accordance with National Electrical 
Codes, as well as all state, municipal and local codes. This appliance must be supplied with the proper voltage and frequency and 
amperage, which is protected by a properly sized circuit breaker or 
time delay fuse.
IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INFORMATION
• Dimensions that are shown in Figures 3 & 7 must be used. Given 
dimensions provide minimum clearance.
• Contact surface must be solid and level.
• Check location where the cooktop will be installed for proper 
electrical supply. Approximate location of junction box, min 12" 
(304.8mm) below the cooktop. See Figure 4.

 The cable from the appliance is equipped with 
3-wire.
IMPORTANT: Use the 3-wire cable from Home Power Supply 
where local codes permit a 3-wire connection.
Use the 4-wire cable from Home Power Supply where local codes 
do not allow grounding through neutral.
Connecting to a 3-wire power OR 4-wire power supply cable 
electrical system
1. Disconnect the power supply.
2. In the circuit breaker, fuse box, or junction box, connect appliance 
and power supply cable wires as shown below (3-wire, Figure 1; 
4-wire, Figure 2).
3. Circuit breaker fuse rating must be above 40 A, and wire should 
be 2/8 or 3/8 copper.
4. Minimum acceptable size of conductors should be no less than 
10AWG, copper only, and no less than 167°F.
5. A wire-binding screw or stud used in the wire terminal should 
be 10 or larger.
• 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.
• An extension cord must not be used with this appliance. Such 
use may result in a re, electrical shock or other personal injury.

only special connectors which are approved for joining copper and 
aluminum wires conform with local codes and ordinances. Follow the 
electrical connector manufacturer’s recommended procedure closely.
