Installation Instructions
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR YOUR SAFETY
• 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 due
to 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.
• The cooktop should be easy to reach and
lighted with natural light during the day.
• Always disconnect the electrical service to
the cooktop before repairing or servicing
the cooktop. This can be done by
disconnecting the fuse or circuit breaker.
Failure to do this could result in a
dangerous or fatal shock. Know where your
main disconnect switch is located. If you do
not know, have your electrician show you.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
This appliance must be supplied with the
proper voltage and frequency, and connected
to an individual, properly grounded branch
circuit, protected by a circuit breaker or a
time delay fuse as noted on name plate.
We recommend you have the electrical wiring
and hookup of your cooktop connected by a
qualified electrician. After installation, have
the electrician show you where your main
cooktop disconnect is located,
Wiring must conform to National Electrical
Code. You can get a copy of the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-Latest
Edition, by writing:
National Fire Protection Association
Batterymarch Park
Quincy, MA 02269
The cooktop conduit wiring is approved for
copper wire connection only, and if you have
aluminum house wiring, you must use
special UL approved connectors for joining
copper to aluminum.
You must use a two-wire, three conductor
208/240 VAC, 60 Hertz electrical system. A
white (neutral) wire is not needed for this
unit. The cooktop must be installed in a
circuit that does not exceed 125 VAC nominal
to ground.
Refer to the name plate on your cooktop for
the KW rating for your cooktop.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:
The bare ground wire in the conduit is
connected to the cooktop frame. Effective
January 1, 1996, the National Electrical Code
will not permit grounding through neutral.
If used in new construction after January 1, 1996
or in a mobile home, recreational vehicle or
if local codes do not permit grounding
through the neutral white lead, attach the
appliance grounding lead (green or copper)
to the residence grounding conductor (green
or bare copper) in accordance with local
codes. 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).
IMPORTANT: Ifthecooktop 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.

Installation Instructions
CHECKLISTS
PRE-TEST CHECKLIST
[] Remove all protective film, if present,
and any stickers.
[] Check to be sure that all wiring is secure
and not pinched or in contact with
moving parts.
[] Check level of appliance.
[] Check that the cooktop is properly
grounded.
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
that all surface burners operate properly,
[] Check that the circuit breaker is not
tripped nor the house fuse 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
• WARNING:
IMPROPER CONNECTION OF ALUMINUM
HOUSE WIRING TO THE COPPER LEADS
CAN RESULT IN A SERIOUS PROBLEM.
•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.

INSTRUCCIONES DE SEGURIDAD IMPORTANTES
PARA SU SEGURIDAD
• Para su seguridad personal, retire los
fusibles de su hogar o bien abra el
cortacircuitos antes de comenzar con la
instalaci6n. El no hacerlo puede resultar
en lesiones serias o incluso la muerte.
• Asegurese que su estufa sea instalada
correctamente por un instalador o tecnico
de servicio calificado.
• Para eliminar el riesgo de quemaduras
o incendio debido al contacto con los
elementos de superficie calentados, debe
evitarse el almacenaje en los gabinetes
ubicados sobre los elementos de superficie.
Si se cuenta con espacio en un gabinete,
puede reducir el riesgo instalando una
campana que se proyecte horizontalmente
un minimo de 5" mas del fondo de los
gabinetes. La instalaci6n de gabinetes
sobre la estufa no debe exceder 13"
de profundidad.
• Asegurese que los gabinetes y las
cubiertas de las paredes alrededor de la
estufa puedan soportar las temperaturas
generadas por la estufa (hasta 200 °F).
•La estufa debe ser facil de alcanzar y
debera contar con iluminaci6n natural
durante el dia.
• Siempre desconecte la toma electrica que
va hacia la estufa antes de reparar o dar
servicio a la estufa. Esto puede hacerse
desconectando el fusible o cortacircuitos.
No hacer esto puede resultar en un shock
electrico peligroso o fatal. Sepa en d6nde
se Iocaliza el interruptor principal de
desconexi6n. Si no Io sabe, pidale a su
electricista que le muestre la ubicaci6n.
REQUlSITOS ELI:!:CTRICOS
Este aparato debe contar con el voltaje y
frecuencia adecuados, y debera conectarse
a un circuito derivado individual debidamente
descargado a tierra, protegido por un
cortacircuitos o un fusible temporizado
como Io indica la placa.
Le recomendamos que un electricista
calificado conecte el cableado electrico y
conexi6n de su estufa. Despues de la
instalaci6n, pidale al electricista que le
muestre en d6nde se Iocaliza el interruptor
principal de desconexi6n de su estufa.
El cableado debe cumplir con el C6digo
Nacional sobre Electricidad. Puede obtener
una copia del C6digo Nacional sobre
Electricidad, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-01tima
edici6n, escribiendo a:
Asociaci6n Nacional
para la Prevenci6n de Incendios

Quincy, MA 02269
El cableado conductor de la estufa esta
aprobado para conexiones unicamente con
cables de cobre, y si cuenta con cableado
de aluminio, debe usar conectores especiales
aprobados por UL para unir cobre con
aluminio.
Debe usar un sistema electrico con conductor
de dos cables y tres conductores 208/240
VCA, de 60 Hertz. No se requiere un cable
blanco (neutral) para esta unidad. La estufa
debe instalarse en un circuito que no exceda
125 VCA nominales de descarga a tierra.
