SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE

LOCAL ELECTRICAL INSPECTOR’S USE.

A. A three-wire or four-wire single phase 1201240 Volt, 60 Hz AC only electrical supply (or three-wire or four- wire 1201206 Volt is specified on nameplate) is required on a separate circuit fused on both sides of the line (time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended)

DO NOT fuse neutral. The fuse size must not exceed the circuit rating of the appliance specified on the nameplate.

NOTE: Wire sizes and connections must conform with the fuse size and rating of the appliance in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordi- nances. Do not use an extension cord.

6.The appliance should be connected to the fused dis- connect (or circuit breaker) box through flexible armored or non-metallic sheathed cable. The flexible armored cable extending from the appliance should be connected directly to the junction box. The junction box should be located as shown in Figure 1 so as much slack as possible remains in the cable between the box and the appliance so it can be moved if servicing is ever necessary.

C.A suitable strain relief must be provided to attach the power supply cord to the junction box.

4.ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

It is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to contact a qualified installer to assure that the electrical installation is adequate and is in conformance

with the National Electrical Code and local code ordinances.

ELECTRICAL GROUND IS REQUIRED ON THIS APPLIANCE.

This appliance is equipped with copper lead wires. If connection is made to aluminum house wiring, use only special connectors which are approved for joining copper and aluminum wires in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances.

This appliance is manufactured with a white neutral power supply wire and a frame connected green ground wire.

A. If local codes permit connection of the frame qround- inq conductor to the neutral (white wire), connect the green and white wire from the supply cable of the appli- ance together and to the neutral (white) wire in the junc- tion box. Connect the remaining wires from the supply cable, matching colors to the wires in the junction box.

6.If used in mobile home or if local codes DO NOT per- mit frame qroundinq to the neutral, separate the white and green wires that extend out of the end of the supply cable of the appliance. Connect the white wire from the supply cable to the neutral wire. Connect the black and red wire from the supply cable, matching the colors, to the corresponding wires in the junction box. The green wire must now be used to ground the appliance in accordance withlocal electrical codes. Connect the insulated green colored copper ground wire to a grounded cold water pipe* or to the grounded lead in the service panel. Do not qround to a gas supply pipe. Do not connect to electrical power supply until appliance is permanently grounded. Connect the ground wire before turning on the power (see Figure 3).

CAUTION: If connecting to a four-wire electrical system (mobile home) the appliance frame MUST NOT be con- nected to the neutral wire of the four-wire electrical sys- tem. Separate the white and green wires that extend out of the end of the supply cable of the appliance. Connect the white, red and black wires from the supply cable,

matching the colors, to the corresponding wires in the junction box. Connect the green wire from the supply cable to the ground wire in the junction box.

*Cold water pipe must have metal continuity to electrical ground and not be interrupted by plastic, rubber or other electrically insulating connectors (Including water meter or pump) without adding a jumper wire at these connections.

5. INSTALLATION

Insert appliance into cut-out. Screws are provided for fastening the appliance to the counter top. The mounting bracket holes in the hanger bracket may be used as a tem- plate to locate the four appliance mounting screw holes.

NOTE: It may be helpful to remove the Oven Door when installing the oven in the cut-out. Refer to the instructions on page 4 for removing the Oven Door.

Next remove the burner modulars and set them in a safe place.

Then remove the four screws that secure the cooktop frame to the range. See Figure 4.
