Step 5: Electrical Requirements, Connection and Grounding

CAUTION

Improper grounding or reverse polarization will cause malfunction (such as continuous sparking of the burner igniters). This can damage the appliance and can create a condition of shock hazard. If the circuit is not correctly grounded and polarized, it is the responsibility and obligation of the installer and user to have the existing receptacle changed to a properly grounded and polarized receptacle. This must be accomplished in accordance with all applicable local codes and ordinances by a qualified electrician. In the absence of local codes and ordinances, the receptacle replacement shall be in accordance with the National Electric Code. (See Figure 10.)

•Before installing, turn power OFF at the service panel. Lock service panel to prevent power from being turned ON accidentally.

•Always disconnect appliance from the electric supply either by disconnecting power cord or shutting off the breaker before servicing the appliance.

•Before you plug in an electrical cord, be sure all controls are in the OFF position.

•All 120 Volt cooktop models must be plugged into a mating 3-Prong, Grounding-Type Receptacle. The receptacle must be connected to a properly grounded and polarized electrical power supply rated at 120VAC, Single Phase, 60HZ. See “Electrical Power Supply Over-current Protection Requirements” on page 12 for proper over-current protection requirements for each model.

•Observe all governing codes and ordinances when grounding. In the absence of these codes or ordinances observe National Electrical Code ANSI/ NFPA No. 70 current issue. See Figure 10 for recommended grounding method.

•An electrical wiring diagram and schematic have been attached to the bottom of the cooktop chassis for access by a qualified service technician. Do not remove or discard this important information.

Grounding Method

The cooktop is factory equipped with a power supply cord with a three-prong grounding plug (with polarized parallel blades).

IT MUST BE PLUGGED INTO A MATING, GROUNDING TYPE RECEPTACLE THAT IS CONNECTED TO A CORRECTLY POLARIZED 120 VOLT CIRCUIT (See Figure 10).

THE THIRD, GROUND PRONG MUST NOT BE CUT OR REMOVED UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.

NOTE:

If the 120V cooktop is installed and connected as specified above, it will be completely grounded in compliance with the National Electric Code.
