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.

The PP975 also features a self-cleaning option, utilizing high-temperature cleaning to reduce food residue to ash, making maintenance simple and hassle-free.

Both models are equipped with a variety of cooking modes, including bake, broil, and various convection options, catering to diverse culinary techniques. The advanced oven design includes steam-cleaning options, which offer homeowners an environmentally friendly and efficient way to tackle spills and splatters without harsh chemicals.

Additional features include oven racks that are easily adjustable, precise temperature probes for meat, and large capacity ovens that can accommodate multiple dishes simultaneously. Safety features such as automatic shut-off and a child lock ensure that cooking remains safe for families.

In summary, the GE PP945 and PP975 are designed for those seeking a blend of modern technology and traditional cooking styles. With standout features such as induction cooking, smart technology, and efficient cleaning options, both ranges are well-equipped to enhance the cooking experience and meet the demands of today’s culinary enthusiasts. Whether you choose the PP945 for its induction efficiency or the PP975 for its smart capabilities, both models represent the forefront of cooking innovation.
