CAUTION:
• For Personal Safety remove house fuse or
open circuit breaker before beginning
installation. Failure to do so could result in
serious injury or death.
• Be sure your cooktop is installed properly
by a qualified installer or service technician.
• To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by
reaching over heated surface elements,
cabinet storage located above the surface
units should be avoided. If cabinet storage
space is to be provided, the risk can be
reduced by installing a range hood that
projects horizontally a minimum of 5”
beyond the bottom of the cabinets. Cabinet
installation above the cooktop may be no
deeper than 13”.
• Make sure the cabinets and wall coverings
around the cooktop can withstand the
temperatures (up to 200°F.) generated by
the cooktop.

SPECIAL GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
• When connecting to a 4-conductor branch circuit
• When local codes do not permit grounding through neutral
• When installing cooktop in a mobile home
Attach the appliance grounding lead (bare copper) to the residence grounding conductor (green or bare
copper) in accordance with local codes.
The bare ground wire in the conduit is connected to the cooktop frame. When connecting to a 3 conductor
branch circuit, if local codes permit, connect the bare ground connector lead of the cooktop to the branch
circuit neutral (gray or white in color).
Once the connections are made, secure wires
together using wire nuts.
IMPORTANT:If the cooktop is being installed into a blind
counter (one with no cabinet opening below), wire
connections must be made before putting the cooktop into
the cutout opening.

Checking the Installation & Cooktop Operation
Electronic Radiant Cooktop
Operation
Checklist
• Remove all items from the top of the cooktop surface.
• Turn on the power to the cooktop. (Refer to your Owner’s Manual.) Verify all surface units operate
properly.
• Check that the circuit breaker is not tripped or the house fuse is blown.
• Check that conduit is securely connected to the junction box.
• See Owner’s manual for troubleshooting list.
• NOTE TO ELECTRICIAN:
The power leads supplied with this appliance are UL recognized for connections to larger gauge
household wiring. The insulation of these leads is rated at temperatures much higher than the
temperature rating of household wiring. The current carrying capacity of a conductor is governed by the
wire gauge and also the temperature rating of the insulation around the wire.
NOTE: ALUMINUM WIRING
A. WARNING:
IMPROPER CONNECTION OF ALUMINUM HOUSE WIRING TO THE COPPER LEADS CAN
RESULT IN A SERIOUS PROBLEM.
B. Splice copper wires to aluminum wiring using special connectors designed and UL approved for joining
copper to aluminum and follow the manufacturer’s recommended connector procedure closely.
NOTE: Wire used, location and enclosure of splices, etc., must conform to good wiring practice and
local codes.
NOTE: While performing installations
described in this book, safety glasses or
goggles should be worn.
