Electrical Supply

Before installing the cook-top have a qualified electrician verify that your home is provided with adequate electrical service and that the addition of the cook-top will not overload the branch circuit on which it is to be installed. A separate three-wire or four-wire single phase, 240 or 208 Volt, 60 Hz, 40 Amp. branch circuit is required.

For hook-up of the cook-top you will need to have an approved junction box installed where it will be easily reached through the front of the cabinet where

the cook-top wilI be located. The cook-top has 3 feet of conduit. DO NOT shorten the flexible conduit.

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

•The electrical power to the cook-top branch circuit must be shut off while line

( connections are being made.

•TO avoid risk of electrical shock, DO NOT install cook-topif cooking surface is broken.

•Electrical ground is required on this appliance. The free end of the green and yellow striped wire (the ground wire) must be connected to a suitable ground. This wire must remain grounded to the cook-top.

•If cold water pipe is interrupted by plastic, non-metallic gaskets, union connections or other insulating materials, DO NOT use for grounding.

•DO NOT ground to a gas pipe.

•Do not have a fuse in the NEUTRAL or GROUNDING circuit. A fuse in the NEUTRAL or GROUNDING circuit could result in an electrical shock.

•Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is

properly grounded.

Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury or death.
