INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
(continued)
Installation
Before installing the counter unit or moving it to another location have the electrician verify:
•That your home is provided with adequate electrical service.
•That the addition of the counter unit will not overload the household circuit on which it is used.
CAUTION: Always disconnect the electrical service to the unit before repairing or servicing the counter unit. This
can be done by disconnecting the fuse or circuit breaker. Failure to do this could result in a dangerous or even fatal shock. Know where your main disconnect switch is located. If you don’t know, have your electrician show you.
Install an approved junction box where it will be easily accessible through the front of the cabinet where the counter unit will be located.
Be sure this cut does not interfere with the cabinet structure at the front.

IMPORTANT: The junction box must be located where it will allow slack in the conduit for serviceability.
Install the counter unit in the cutout opening.
NOTE: If the unit is being installed in a blind counter (one with no cabinet opening below), wire connections must be made before putting the unit into the cutout.
Secure the cooktop unit to the counter using the side retainers and screws shipped with the unit.
CAUTION: The electrical power to the counter unit supply line must be shut off while line connections are being made.
Failure to do so could result in serious injury or death.
Electrical Connections
You must use a
Use a minimum wire size of No. 12 copper wire with a 20 Amp fuse or circuit breaker for both 208Y/120 Volt and 120/240 Volt electrical systems.
When making the wire connections, use the entire length of conduit provided. The conduit must not be cut.
Connect the red and black leads from the counter unit conduit to the corresponding leads in the junction box.
The bare ground wire in the conduit is connected to the counter unit frame. Connect the other end of this wire to a properly grounded cold water pipe or use another approved grounding method.
A white (neutral) wire is not needed for this unit. The white lead from the household electrical supply can be taped and terminated in the junction box.
