Installation Instructions

1PREPARATION

Before installing the cooktop or moving it to another location, have the electrician verify:

•That your home is provided with adequate electrical service.

•That the addition of the cooktop will not overload the household circuit on which it is used.

2INSTALL THE JUNCTION BOX

5MAKE ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

WARNING

The electrical power to the cooktop supply line must be shut off while line connections are being made. Failure to do so could result in serious injury or death.

When making the wire connections, use the entire length of conduit provided (3 feet). The conduit must not be cut.

Connect the red and black leads from the cooktop conduit to the corresponding leads in the junction box.

Install an approved junction box where it will be easily accessible through the front of the cabinet where cooktop will be located. See the illustration at right for the suggested mounting location.

Junction

Tub box

The power leads supplied with this appliance are UL recognized for connection to larger gauge household wiring. The insulation of the leads is rated at much higher temperatures than the temperature rating of household wiring. The current carrying capacity of the conductor is governed by the wire gauge and also the temperature rating of the insulation around the wire.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

The bare ground wire in the conduit is connected to the cooktop frame.

When connecting to a 3 conductor branch circuit, if local codes permit, connect the bare ground connector lead of the cooktop to the branch circuit neutral (gray or white in color).

3INSTALL THE COOKTOP

Install the cooktop in the cutout opening.

NOTE: If the cooktop is being installed in a blind counter (one with no cabinet opening below), wire connections must be made before putting the cooktop into the cutout.

4SECURE THE COOKTOP

Secure the tub of the cooktop to a standard counter with the wood screws shipped with the cooktop.

Secure the tub of the cooktop to a tile counter with 4 masonry screws. These can be purchased at any hardware store.

Effective January 1, 1996, the National Electrical Code requires that new construction use a (4) conductor connection and will not permit grounding through neutral. If used in new construction after January 1, 1996, in a mobile home or recreational vehicle, or if local codes do not permit grounding through the neutral white lead, do the following:

Attach the appliance grounding lead (green or bare copper) to the residence grounding conductor (green or bare copper) in accordance with local codes.
