Location Requirements

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

IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances. When installing cooktop, use minimum dimensions given.

■ To eliminate the risk of burns or  re 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.

■ It is the installer’s responsibility to comply with installation

clearances speci ed on the model/serial rating plate. The model/serial rating plate is located on the underside of the cooktop burner box.

A. Model/serial rating plate location

■ 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  nd this label, your cooktop may not be approved for use over an undercounter built-in oven. Contact your dealer to con rm 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  nd this label, contact your dealer to con rm that your oven is approved. Refer to oven manufacturer’s Installation Instructions for approval for built-in undercounter use and proper cutout dimensions.

■ 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.

IMPORTANT: If installing a range hood or microwave hood

combination above the range, follow the range hood or microwave hood combination installation instructions for dimensional clearances above the cooktop surface.

NOTE: After you make the countertop cutout, some installations may require notching down the base cabinet side walls to clear the cooktop base. To avoid this modi cation, use a base cabinet with sidewalls wider than the cutout.

If cabinet has a drawer, a 5

∕8" (13 cm) depth clearance from the countertop to the top of the drawer (or other obstruction) in base cabinet is required.

WARNING

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 quali ed electrical installer determine that the ground path and wire gauge are in accordance with local codes.

Check with a quali ed 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

Quincy, MA 02169-7471

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 V, 60 Hz, AC only electrical supply is required on a separate, 50 A circuit (36" [92.2 cm] models) or 40 A circuit (30" [78.2 cm] models), or 32 A circuit (24" [65.0 cm] models) fused on both sides of the line.

■ The cooktop should be connected directly to the junction

box through  exible, armored or nonmetallic sheathed, copper cable. The  exible, 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.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Prepare Location

1. Decide on the  nal location for the cooktop.

NOTE: Countertop must be 1

thick.

∕16" (3.0 cm) to 2" (5.1 cm)

■ 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: Connect the aluminum wiring 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.

2. If necessary, make cutout in countertop before installing

cooktop. See “Location Requirements” section for more information.

3. Clean cutout of any remaining dust and debris.

Install Brackets

NOTE: Cooktop Bracket Adhesive Kit Part Number W11279478 is required for installing the cooktop into a marble countertop. See the “Assistance or Service” section of the Use and Care Guide for information on ordering.

To Install Brackets into Marble Countertop:

1. Clean the brackets and cooktop cutout of any dust and

debris.

2. Measure the center line of the vertical sides of the cooktop

cutout.

Center line

3. Apply the adhesive provided in the kit to the back side of the

brackets.

4. Position brackets in the center of the vertical centerline and

align the upper edge of the brackets so that they are  ush with the countertop.

5. Push the brackets  rmly onto each side of the cooktop

cutout and wait 1 hour for adhesive to dry.

To Install Brackets into Wood Countertop:

1. Measure the center line of the vertical sides of the cooktop

cutout.

Center line

2. Optional - Remove the foam roll from the package containing

literature. Apply foam adhesive-side down around the bottom of the cooktop glass.

NOTE: The foam helps avoid damage to the underside of the cooktop glass from debris and helps the cooktop sit  at on uneven counters.

A. Cooktop base B. Foam C. Assembly glass

3. Lower the cooktop into the cutout with the back end of the

cooktop angled down.

2. Position brackets in the center of the vertical centerline and

align the upper edge of the brackets so that they are  ush with the countertop.

3. Attach the brackets in the cutout with the screws provided.
