Electrical requirements

IMPORTANT:

Save Installation Instructions for electrical inspector’s use.

Electrical Shock Hazard

l Electrical ground is required on this appliance.

lIf cold water pipe is interrupted by plastic, non-metallic gaskets or other insulating materials, Do

Not use for grounding. l Check with a qualified

electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

lDo Not have a fuse in the neutral or grounding circuit. A fuse in the neutral or grounding circuit could result in electrical shock.

Failure to follow these instructions could result in an electrical shock or other personal injury.

If codes permit and a separate grounding wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the grounding path is adequate.

A n

A three-wire, single phase, 24C-volt, 60-Hz, AC only electrical supply is required on a separate, 4Gampere circuit, fused on both sides of the line. (A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended.) The fuse size must not exceed the circuit rating of the appliance specified on the serial/rating plate located on the bottom of the cooktop.

It isthe personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to contact a qualified electrician to assure that the electrical installation is adequate and in conformance with National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-latest edition*, and all local codes and ordinances.

@.

Wire sizes and connections must conform to the requirements of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70

-latest edition*, and all local codes and ordinances.

Copies of the standards listed may be obtained from:

D

The :ppliance should be connected directly to the fused disconnect (or circuit breaker) through flexible, armored or non-metallic sheathed, copper cable. The flexible, armored cable extending from the appliance should be connected directly to the junction box. Allow two or three feet of slack in the line so that the appliance can be moved if servicing Isever necessary.

A U.L.-listed conduit connector must be provided at each end of the power supply cable (at the appliance and at the junction box). Wire sizes (COPPER WIREONLY) and connections must conform with the rating of the appliance (40 amperes).

Electrical connection

Electrical Shock Hazard

l Electrical ground is required on this appliance.

l This appliance must be connected to a grounded, permanent wiring system or a grounding connector should be connected to the grounding terminal or wire lead on the appliance.

l Disconnect power to the junction box.

lDo Not connect to the electrical supply until appliance is permanently grounded.

Failure to do so could result in electrical shock, serious injury, or death.

This appliance is manufactured with a frame-connected, green or bare, grounding wire.

Connect the appliance cable to the junction box through the U.L.-listed conduit connector. Complete electrical connection according to local codes and ordinances,

Where local codes permit connecting the frame- grounding conductor to the neutral (white) junction box wire:

3.Connect the green or bare grounding wire from the appliance cable to a grounded wire in the junction box or to a grounded, copper, cold water pipe.”

4.Do Not ground to a gas supply pipe or hot water pipe. Do Not connect to electrical supply until appliance is permanently grounded.

(See Figure 3.1

l * Grounded, cold water pipe must have metal continuity to electrical ground and not be Interrupted by plastic, rubber, or other electrlcal insulating connectors such as hoses, fittings, washers or gaskets (including water meter or pump). Any

electrical insulating connector should be jumped as shown with a length of No;4 copper wire securely clamped to bare

metal at both ends.
