Installation

Electrical Requirements

GROUNDING SPECIFICATIONS

Ground Path Resistance 0.10 Ω Max.

Insulation Resistance 250K Ω Min.

POWER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS

The cooktop must be connected to a supply circuit of the proper voltage and frequency as specified on the nomenclature tag. Wire size must conform to the National Electrical Code or the prevailing local code. The nomenclature tag is located on the bottom of the burner box.

OVERCURRENT PROTECTION

Wall-Mounted Oven or Counter-Mounted Cooktops

WIRING

Built-in power leads are UL approved for connection to larger gauge household wiring. The insulation of these leads is rated at temperatures much higher than the temperature rating of household wiring. The current carrying capacity of a conductor is governed by the temperature rating of the insulation around the wire rather than the wire gauge alone.

WARNING: Improper connection of aluminum house wiring to these copper leads can result in a serious problem. Use only connectors designed for joining copper to aluminum and follow the manufacturer’s recommended procedure closely.

WIRING REQUIREMENTS

WARNING: This appliance must be properly grounded.

The branch circuit load for 1 wall-mounted oven or 1 counter-mounted cooktop is the rating on the nomenclature tag of the appliance.

The branch circuit load for a counter-mounted cooktop and not more than 2 wall-mounted ovens― all supplied from a single branch circuit and located in the same room―shall be computed by adding the nameplate ratings on the individual appliances and treating this total as equivalent to 1 range.

You must use a 2-wire, 3-conductor, 208/240 VAC, 60 Hertz electrical system. A white (neutral) wire is not needed for this unit. The cooktop must be installed in a circuit that does not exceed 125 VAC nominal to ground.

Refer to the nomenclature tag on your cooktop for the KW rating for your cooktop.
