INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

Tools and Parts

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

Tools needed

■ Tape measure

■ Screwdriver

■ Level

■ Marker or pencil

■ Pliers

Parts supplied

■ Clamp brackets (2)

1

■ 2

/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” section.

It is recommended that all electrical connections be made
byalicensed, qualied 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 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.

■ The cooktop must be a specied 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 for your cooktop model number and approved
combinations of cooktops and ovens that canbeinstalled.
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.

■ Cabinet opening dimensions that are shown must be used.

Given dimensions are minimum clearances.

■ Grounded electrical supply is required. See “Electrical

Requirements” section.

IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to your cabinets, check with
your builder or cabinet supplier to make sure that the materials
used will not discolor, delaminate or sustain other damage.

Electrical Requirements

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.

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oven is properly grounded.

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

1 Batterymarch Park

Quincy, MA 02169-7471

CSA International

8501 East Pleasant Valley Road

Cleveland, Ohio 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, 20 A circuit,
fused on both sides of the line. The model/serial/rating plate
is located on the bottom of the burner box underneath the
cooktop.

■ Cooktops with 3-wire cable coming from the cooktop are

rated 240 V and do not have a neutral (white) wire.

■ This model requires a 20 Acircuit.

■ 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.

■ 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.

Prepare Cooktop for Installation

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.

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 nal location for the cooktop.

2. Using 2 or more people, place the cooktop upside down on

a covered surface. Clean along the outside surface of the
cooktop where the foam strip will be applied.

3. Remove foam strip from package containing literature.
Remove backing from foam strip. Apply foam strip adhesive­side down around bottom of cooktop, ush with edge.

NOTE: The foam strip helps keep the underside of the
cooktop glass free from debris and helps the cooktop
sitaton uneven counters.

Install Cooktop

Style 1: Cooktop over undercounter built-in oven

IMPORTANT: Clamp brackets should not be used.

1. Using 2 or more people, 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.

Installing Brackets Before Placing Cooktop in Cutout

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

2. 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 “Attach Cooktop
toCountertop” section for illustration of clamping
screwinstallation.

3. Attach brackets to bottom of cooktop base 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.

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.
