INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Tools and Parts

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

Too ls ne e de d

■ Ta pe m e a su r e

■ Flat-blade screwdriver

■ Level

Parts supplied

■ Clamp brackets (2)

■ 2¹⁄₂" (6.4 cm) clamping screws (2)

■ Foam strip

Parts needed

■ A UL listed or CSA approved conduit connector

■ UL listed wire connectors

Check local codes. Check existing electrical supply. See “Electrical Requirements.”

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

Location Requirements

Make sure you have everything needed for correct installation. It is the responsibility of the installer to comply with the installation clearances specified in these instructions.

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. Verify approved oven model numbers that can be installed with your cooktop model number. If you do not find this label, your cooktop may not be approved for use over an undercounter built-in oven. 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.

■ Marker or pencil

■ Pliers

■ When installing cooktop over an undercounter built-in oven,

do not fasten cooktop to countertop with clamps or seal cooktop to countertop. This will make the cooktop easier to remove if future servicing becomes necessary.

■ 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.

Electrical Requirements

For 15" (38.1 cm) model only:

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard Disconnect power before servicing. Use 12 gauge copper wire. Electrically ground cooktop. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,

fire, or electrical shock.

For all models except 15" (38.1 cm) model

WARNING

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 3" (7.6 cm) depth clearance from the countertop to the top of the drawer (or other obstruction) in base cabinet is required.

If installing a hood above the cooktop, follow hood instructions for dimensional clearances above the cooktop surface.

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.

It is not recommended to ground to a gas pipe.

Check with a qualified electrical installer if you are not sure the cooktop is properly grounded.

It is not recommended to have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.

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.

A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from: National Fire Protection Association

One Batterymarch Park Quincy, MA 02269

CSA International 8501 East Pleasant Valley Road 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 4-wire or 3-wire, single phase, 240 volt, 60 Hz., AC only

electrical supply is required on a separate, 40-amp circuit, fused on both sides of the line. Cooktops with 3-wire cable coming from the cooktop are rated 240 volt and do not have a neutral (white) wire. NOTE: The 15" (38.1 cm) model series requires a 20-amp circuit.

■ 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.

Prepare Cooktop

WARNING

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. 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 protects 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: Clamp brackets should not be used.

1. Turn cooktop right side up.

2. Place cooktop 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.

Style 2: Cooktop over cabinets

1. Determine whether your cabinet construction provides

clearance for installing clamp brackets at cooktop base ends. This is the recommended location. Clamp brackets can be installed on the front and back of cooktop base bottom, if necessary.

A. Attachment screw holes for

optional front and back location

B. Clamp bracket

(recommended location) C. Cooktop base bottom D. Attachment screw

3. Attach brackets to cooktop base bottom with bracket

attachment screws using the bracket mounting holes selected in Step 2.

4. Rotate brackets so they do not extend beyond edge of

cooktop base.

5. Tighten screws just enough to hold brackets in place when

cooktop is put in cutout.

6. 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.

7. 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.

Installing Brackets After Placing Cooktop in Cutout

1. Place cooktop 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.

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 2½" (6.4 cm) clamping screws

2. The clamp brackets can be installed before or after the

cooktop is placed into the cutout. Complete the following steps for the option you choose.

Installing Brackets Before Placing Cooktop in Cutout

1. Remove the attachment screws for the selected bracket

locations from the bottom of the cooktop base.
