Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

A. 18" (45.7 cm) minimum clearance upper cabinet to countertop

B.Cabinet

C.30" (76.2 cm) on 30" (76.2 cm) models 36" (91.4 cm) on 36" (91.4 cm) models

D.13" (33 cm) maximum recommended upper cabinet depth

E.6" (15.2 cm) minimum side wall clearance

F.30" (76.2 cm) minimum clearance between top of cooktop platform and bottom of uncovered wood or metal cabinet

(24" [61 cm] minimum clearance if bottom of wood or metal cabinet is covered by not less than ¹⁄₄" [0.6 cm] flame retardant millboard covered with not less than No. 28 MSG sheet steel, 0.015" [0.04 cm] stainless steel, or 0.024" [0.06 cm] aluminum or 0.020" [0.05 cm] copper)

G.2⁵⁄₁₆" (5.9 cm) minimum distance to rear combustible surface

H.3³⁄₁₆" (8.1 cm) minimum distance to front countertop edge

I.Cutout width - 29³⁄₈" (74.6 cm) on 30" models; 35³⁄₈" (89.9 cm) on 36" models

J.Cutout depth - 19¹⁄₂" (49.5 cm)

NOTE: After making the countertop cutout, some installations may require notching down the base cabinet side walls to clear the burner box. To avoid this modification, use a base cabinet with sidewalls wider than the cutout.

If cabinet has a drawer, a 4" (10.2 cm) depth clearance from the countertop to the top of the drawer (or other obstruction) in base cabinet is required. The drawer depth may need to be shortened to avoid interfering with the regulator.

IMPORTANT: The cooktop must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes and ordinances, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 or Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1.

This cooktop is equipped with an electronic ignition system that will not operate if plugged into an outlet that is not properly polarized.

This cooktop is equipped with an electronic ignition system that will not operate properly if plugged into a ground fault interrupt circuit.

If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrical installer determine that the ground path is adequate.

A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from:

A 120-volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15-amp fused, electrical circuit is required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is also recommended. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this range be provided.

Electronic ignition systems operate within wide voltage limits, but proper grounding and polarity are necessary. Check that the outlet provides 120-volt power and is correctly grounded.

The wiring diagram are provided with this cooktop. See “Wiring Diagrams” section.
