Electrical wiring information

An adequate electrical supply must be provi- ded for this unit. All wire connections and grounding must be done in accordance with local electrical codes, or if these codes are not established, then with the National Electri- cal Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70 in the US , or with the Canadian Electrical Code, CAN/CSA

•240 V

Connect the 3 wires as per the following colour code

C22.1, in Canada.

This unit comes equipped with three connec- tion wires in a flexible conduit. The conduit must be routed and properly connected to an approved, owner-supplied, electrical, wall junction-box. An approved connector must be used for connecting the conduit to the junc- tion box. A three wire, 2-poles, 240 V, 60 Hz service with minimum 50 A circuit protector must be provided. The red and the black wire from the unit are to be connected to the servi-

ce (”hot”) wires, and the green wire is to be connected to the ground conductor.

The circuit protector for the unit should be properly marked inside electric panel and any- body using the unit, or technician servicing the unit, should be advised of circuit protecto- r’s location, so that the power to the unit can be disconnected when necessary.

Once the unit is properly fitted and connected to the electrical power supply, turn the unit on to ensure that all elements and controls are operating well.

Note that your unit is designed for a stabile and steady 240 V supply and the manufactu- rer, its distributors and dealers cannot be held

responsible for any unit malfunction due to an inadequate electrical supply (inadequate ca- ble size, low voltage, power surge etc). Fur- thermore, if your residence has only a 208 V supply system, and if the voltage frequently fluctuates, your cooktop may not function properly

It is recommended that the connection to electrical supply is done by a qualified electri- cian.

If there is any visible physical damage on the conduit and the wires, the unit must not be connected to the mains. A qualified electri- cian or approved service agent should be cal- led in to replace the wires and the conduit.
