wire cable
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. If you do not find this label, 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.
• The cooktop should be installed away from strong draft
areas, such as windows, doors, fans or strong heating vents.
The cooktop should be located for convenient use in the
kitchen.
• 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: To avoid damage, check with your builder or
cabinet supplier to make sure that the materials used will not
discolor, delaminate or sustain other damage.

IMPORTANT: If installing a range hood or microwave hood
combination above the cooktop, follow the range hood or
microwave hood combination installation instructions for
dimensional clearances above the cooktop surface.

(24" [61.0 cm] minimum clearance if bottom of wood or metal
cabinet is covered by not less than ¼" [0.6 cm] flame retardant
millboard covered with not less than No. 28 MSG sheet steel,
0.015" [0.04 cm] stainless steel, or 0.024" [0.06 cm] aluminum

countertop; 7" (17.8 cm) maximum from right side of cabinet
1.22¼/'+_ ¼J' (56+_0.16cm)
J. 4" (10.0 cm) minimum distance to nearest left and right side
combustible surface above cooktop
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 41/8"(10.5 cm) depth clearance from
the top of the countertop to the top of the drawer (or other
obstruction) in base cabinet is required.
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.
Check with a qualified electrical installer if you are not sure the
cooktop is properly grounded.
Make sure that the electrical connection and wire size are
adequate and in conformance with the CSA Standards C22.1-94,
Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1 and C22.2 No. O-M91-1atest
edition, and all local codes and ordinances.
A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from:
CSA International

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 3-wire or 4-wire, single phase, 120/240 volt, 60-Hz., AC
only electrical supply is required on a separate, 40-amp
circuit fused on both sides of the line. The model/serial
number rating plate is located on the metal cabinet
underneath the cooktop. See the following illustration.
'i
A
A. Model/serial number plate
• The cooktop is rated 240 volt. This cooktop does not have a
neutral (white) wire.
• 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. Use the length of conduit provided.
INSTALLATIONINSTRUCTIONS
• 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.
