Electrical requirements
A 120-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only, 15- or 20-ampere,
fused electrical supply is required. A time-
delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended.
It is recommended that a separate circuit
serving only this appliance be provided.
Electronic ignition systems operate within
wide voltage limits, but proper ground and
polarity are necessary. In addition to checking
that the outlet provides 120-volt power and is
correctly grounded, the outlet must be
checked by a qualified electrician to see if it is
wired with correct polarity.
Important: This cooktop is equipped with an
electronic ignition system that will not
operate if plugged into an outlet that is not
properly polarized.
The wiring diagram is located on the inside of
the terminal box cover.
