CAUTION
To eliminate the risk of burns or
fire by reaching over heated surfaces, cabinet
storage space located above the cooktop
should be avoided. If cabinet storage is
provided, risk can be reduced by installing a
range hood that projects horizontally a
minimum of 5" (12.7 cm) beyond the bottom
of the cabinets.

ELECTRIC COOKTOP INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Important Notes to the Installer
1. Read all instructions contained in these installation
instructions before installing the cooktop.
2. Remove all packing material before connecting the
electrical supply to the cooktop.
3. Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
4. Be sure to leave these instructions with the consumer.
Important Note to the Consumer
Keep these instructions with your Use and Care Guide for
future reference.
IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
•Be sure your cooktop is installed and grounded
properly by a qualified installer or service
technician.
•These cooktops must be electrically grounded in
accordance with local codes or, in their absence,
with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No.
70—latest edition in the United States, or with
CSA Standard C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code, Part
1, in Canada.
WARNING
The electrical power to the cooktop
must be shut off while line connections are being
made. Failure to do so could result in serious injury
or death.
Provide Electrical Connection
Install the junction box under the cabinet and run 120/
240 or 120/208 Volt, AC wire from the main circuit
panel. DO NOT connect the wire to the circuit panel at
this time.
Electrical Requirements
Observe all governing codes and local ordinances.
1. A 3-wire or 4-wire single phase 120/240 or 120/208
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.
2. These units can consume up to 9700W at 240 Vac, a
circuit breaker of 40 Amp with wire gauge #8AWG
shall be used.
NOTE: Wire sizes and connections must conform with
the fuse size and rating of the appliance in accordance
with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70–
latest edition, and local codes and ordinances.
WARNING
An extension cord must not be used
with this appliance. Such use may result in a fire,
electrical shock, or other personal injury.
3. The appliance should be connected to the fused
disconnect (or circuit breaker) box through flexible
armored or nonmetallic sheathed cable. The flexible
armored cable extending from this appliance should
be connected directly to the grounded junction box.
The junction box should be located as shown in
Figure 2 with as much slack as possible remaining in
the cable between the box and the appliance, so it
can be moved if servicing is ever necessary.
4. A suitable strain relief must be provided to attach
the flexible armored cable to the junction box.
Unpacking Instructions
Figure 3
1. Leave corner supports on cooktop until completion
of Electrical Connection.
2. Be sure the bottle of cleaner conditioner packed in
the literature bag is left where the user can find it
easily. It is important that the ceramic-glass
smoothtop be pretreated before use. See Cooktop
Cleaning and Maintenance section in the Use and
Care Guide.

ELECTRIC COOKTOP INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Electrical Connection
Connect the flexible armored cable that extends from the
surface unit to the junction box using a suitable strain
relief at the point the armored cable enters the junction
box. Then make the electrical connection as follows.
Electrical ground is required on this appliance.
This appliance is equipped with a
copper conductor flexible cable. If connection is
made to aluminum house wiring, use only special
connectors which are approved for joining cooper
and aluminum wires in accordance with the National
Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances.
Improper connection of aluminum house wiring to
copper leads can result in a short circuit or fire.
Follow the connector manufacturer recommended
procedure closely.
This appliance is manufactured with a frame connected
green (or bare copper) ground wire.
DO NOT ground 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.
Where local codes permit connecting the appliance-
grounding conductor to the neutral (white) wire:
If your cooktop is to be connected to a 3-wire
grounded junction box (see figure 4):
1. Disconnect the power supply.
2. In the circuit breaker, fuse box or junction box:
connect appliance and power supply cable wires as
shown in figure 4.
You may not ground the cooktop
through the neutral (white) wire if cooktop is used
in a new branch circuit installation (1996 NEC),
mobile home, recreational vehicle, or where local
codes do not permit grounding through the
neutral (white) wire. When grounding through the
neutral (white) wire is prohibited, you must use a
4-wire power supply cable. See Figure 5. Failure
to heed this warning may result in electrocution or
other serious personal injury.
If cooktop is used in a new branch circuit
installation (1996 NEC), mobile home, recreational
vehicle, or where local codes DO NOT permit
grounding through the neutral (white) wire:
1. Disconnect the power supply.
2. Separate the green (or bare copper) and white
appliance cable wires.
3. In the circuit breaker, fuse box or junction box:
connect appliance and power supply cable wires as
shown in figure 5.

ELECTRIC COOKTOP INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Cooktop Installation
1. Visually inspect the cooktop for damage. Also make
sure all cooktop screws are tight (see Figure 6).
3. Set the cooktop into the countertop cutout.
NOTE: Do not use caulking compound; cooktop should
be removable for service when needed.
WARNING
Do not remove the nylon spacers on
the edges of the cooktop. These spacers center the
cooktop in the space provided. The cooktop must
be centered to prevent excess heat buildup that
may result in heat damage or fire (see Figure 8).
2. Install the retainer brackets. See Figure 7
The retainer brackets MUST be installed, to meet
local codes or, in their absence, with the National
Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70—latest edition, or
with CSA Standard C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code,
Part 1 (see Figure 7).
