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 Requirements

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 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 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.

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, 240 volt, 60-Hz., AC only electrical supply is required on a separate, 40-amp circuit for 30” (76.2 cm) models or 50-amp circuit for 36” (91.4 cm) models, 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.

A

A. Model/serial number plate

The cooktop is rated 240 volt and 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. 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:

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.
