INSTALLATIONREQUIREMENTS

Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation. Read and follow the instructions provided with any tools listed

here. Tools needed

• Tape measure

• 1¼.(6.35 mm) nut driver

Parts supplied

• Foam strip roll • 21/2"(6.4 cm) clamping

• Clamping brackets (2) screws (2)

Parts needed

• A UL listed or CSA approved connector for 1/2"(1.3 cm) diameter conduit

• UL listed wire connectors

Check local codes. Check existing electrical supply. See the "Electrical Requirements" section.

It is recommended that all electrical connections be made by a licensed, qualified electrical installer.

• Marker or pencil

• Pliers

• Flat-blade screwdriver

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 aspecified 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.

• The cooktop must be installed in a level countertop.

• 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.

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,

ANSl/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:

Cleveland, OH 44131-5575

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, 120/240 volt, 60-Hz., AC only electrical supply is required on a separate, 40-amp

circuit 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.

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 51/2"(14.0 cm) depth clearance from the top of the countertop to the top of the drawer (or other obstruction) in base cabinet is required.

A. Model/serial number plate

The cooktop is rated 120/240 volt. Most models have a neutral (white) wire. Model W5CE3024 does not have a neutral (white) wire.

INSTALLATIONINSTRUCTIONS

_ ............. ....._........

ExcessiveWeight Hazard

Usetwo or more people to moveand install cooktop. Failureto do so can result in back or other injury.

Decide on the final location for the cooktop. Avoid drilling into or severing existing wiring during installation.

1. Using 2 or more people, place the cooktop upside down on a covered surface using the foam end posts from the packaging. Make sure that the knobs are not resting on the

foam.

2. Remove foam strip roll from the package containing literature. The roll contains four 1¼,,(0.64 cm) strips of foam. Remove one strip at a time and apply foam strip adhesive-side down around bottom of the cooktop glass.

NOTE: The foam strip helps avoid damage to the underside of the cooktop glass from debris and helps the cooktop sit

flat on uneven counters.

Style 1: Cooktop over undercounter built-in oven IMPORTANT: Clamping brackets should not be used.

1. Using 2 or more people, place cooktop right side up into the

cutout. NOTE: Make sure that the front edge of the cooktop is

parallel to the front edge of the countertop. If repositioning is needed, lift entire cooktop up from cutout to avoid scratching the countertop.

Style 2: Cooktop over cabinets

1. Determine whether your cabinet construction provides clearance for installing clamping brackets at cooktop base

ends.

Installing Brackets Before Placing Cooktop in Cutout

Installing Brackets After Placing Cooktop in Cutout

1. Using 2 or more people, place the cooktop upside down on a covered surface using the foam end posts from the packaging. Make sure that the knobs are not resting on the

foam.

2. Remove the attachment screws for the bracket locations from the bottom of the cooktop base.

3. Select bracket mounting holes that will allow the bracket to extend far enough out from the cooktop for the installation of 21/2. (6.4 cm) clamping screws. See the "Attach Cooktop to Countertop" section for illustration of clamping screw

installation.

E.Attachment screw

4. Attach brackets to cooktop base bottom with bracket attachment screws using the bracket mounting holes selected in Step 3.

5. Rotate brackets so they do not extend beyond edge of cooktop base.

6. Tighten attachment screws enough to hold brackets in place when cooktop is placed in cutout.

7. Using 2 or more people, turn the cooktop right side up and place in cutout.

NOTE: Make sure that the front edge of the cooktop is parallel to the front edge of the countertop. If repositioning is needed, lift entire cooktop up from cutout to avoid scratching the countertop.

8. Loosen the screws and rotate the brackets so that they are perpendicular to the edge of the cooktop base and extend

beyond its edge. Securely tighten screws.

1. Using 2 or more people, place cooktop right side up into the cutout.

NOTE: Make sure that the front edge of the cooktop is parallel to the front edge of the countertop. If repositioning is needed, lift entire cooktop up from cutout to avoid scratching the countertop.

2. Remove the attachment screws for the selected bracket locations from the bottom of the cooktop base.

3. Select bracket mounting holes that will allow the bracket to extend far enough out from the cooktop for the installation of 21/2. (6.4 cm) clamping screws.
