ELECTRIC BUILT-IN GLASS
SOLID ELEMENT COOK TOP
1. BEFORE YOU BEGIN 3. CARPENTRY
Read the following instructions completely and carefully. If
followed, they will simplify the installation job.
IMPORTANT:
Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE LOCAL
ELECTRICAL INSPECTOR’S USE.
See Figure 1 for the dimensions of typical counter top cutout. The cut-out must be located so that when the cook top
is set in place there is at least 1% inches between the front
edge of the cook top and the front edge of the counter top.
A 6 inch space must be left between the side(s) of the cook
top and any vertical wall or cabinet extending above the upper
edge of the cook top. This built-in cook top has a shallow
burner box (3”) which allows the unit to be mounted above
the cabinet drawers that are more than 3 inches below the
top of counter top.
2. ELECTRICAL
REQUIREMENTS
A three-wire single phase 240 Volt, 60 Hz AC only electrical
supply is required on a separate circuit fused on both sides
of the line (time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is
recommended). DO NOT fuse neutral. The fuse size must
not exceed the circuit rating of the appliance specified on the
nameplate. NOTE: Wire sizes and connections must conform
with the fuse size and rating of the appliance in accordance
with the National Electrical Code and local codes and
ordinances.
WARNING: AN EXTENSION CORD SHOULD NOT BE
USED WITH THIS APPLIANCE. SUCH USE MAY RESULT
IN A FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK, OR OTHER PERSONAL
INJURY.
The appliance should be connected to the fused disconnect
(or circuit breaker) box through flexible armored or non-metalic
sheathed cable. The flexible armored cable extending from
the appliance should be connected directly to the junction box.
The junction box should be located as shown in Figure 1 so
that as much slack as possible remains in the cable between
the box and the appliance so that it can be moved if servicing
is ever necessary.
A suitable strain relief must be provided to attach the power
supply cord to the junction box.
4. PREPARATION FOR
INSTALLATION
A. Remove the Styrofoam end caps from packaging. Position
them on the counter next to the cutout so they can support
the cooktop.
B. Turn the cooktop upside down and support it on the
endcaps removed in step A. (See figure 2)
