Whirlpool RC8430XTB0 manual Before YOU Begin, Carpentry, Preparation for Installation

1. BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Read the following instructions completely and carefully. If followed, they will simplify the installation job.

IMPORTANT:

Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE LOCAL ELECTRICAL INSPECTOR’S USE.

3. CARPENTRY

See Figure 1 for the dimensions of typical counter top cut- out. The cut-out must be located so that when the cook top is set in place there is at least 1% inches between the front edge of the cook top and the front edge of the counter top. A 6 inch space must be left between the side(s) of the cook top and any vertical wall or cabinet extending above the upper edge of the cook top. This built-in cook top has a shallow burner box (3”) which allows the unit to be mounted above the cabinet drawers that are more than 3 inches below the top of counter top.

2.ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

A three-wire single phase 240 Volt, 60 Hz AC only electrical supply 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 ordinances.

WARNING: AN EXTENSION CORD SHOULD NOT BE USED WITH THIS APPLIANCE. SUCH USE MAY RESULT IN A FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK, OR OTHER PERSONAL INJURY.

The appliance should be connected to the fused disconnect (or circuit breaker) box through flexible armored or non-metalic 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 that as much slack as possible remains in the cable between the box and the appliance so that it can be moved if servicing is ever necessary.

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

4. PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATION

A. Remove the Styrofoam end caps from packaging. Position them on the counter next to the cutout so they can support the cooktop.

B. Turn the cooktop upside down and support it on the endcaps removed in step A. (See figure 2)

30” Cooktop is 26%” min., 295/a” max. 36” Cooktop is 33” min.. 34%” max.

WARNING: Reaching over healed surface burners causes risk of being burned. To reduce risk, installa- tion of cabinet storage above surface units should be avoided. If cabinets are already provided, reduce

hazard by installing a cooklop hood. Hood should

extend 5” minimum beyond the front of cabmets.
