Electrical: A four-wire or three-wire, single- phase, 240-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only electrical supply is required on a separate 30-ampere circuit, fused on both sides of the line. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. Connected directly to the fused disconnect (or circuit breaker box) through flexible, armored or non-metallic sheathed, copper cable (with ground wire). Flexible armored cable should connect cooktop directly to the junction box. A U.L.-listed 1/2" (12.7 mm) conduit connector must be provided at the junction box. The recommended minimum copper wire size is 10-gauge. However, wire sizes and connections must conform to the requirements of the National Electrical Code and all local codes and ordinances.
