ELECTRICAL GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS
The cooktop must be electrically grounded
in accordance with local codes or, in the
absence of codes, with the ANSI/NFPA
No. 70-latest edition. Installation should
be made by a licensed electrician. This
appliance is equipped with a three-prong
grounding plug for your protection against

directly into a properly grounded
receptacle. DO NOT cut or remove the
grounding prong from the plug.
For personal safety, this appliance
must e properly grounded. DO NOT
under any circumstances cut or
remove the third (ground) prong from
the power plug.
WARNING
BURN HAZARD
The use of cabinets for storage above the
appliance may result in a potential burn
hazard. Combustible items may ignite,
metallic items may become hot and
cause burns. If a cabinet storage is to be
provided the 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.

The bottom of a standard hood should be
30” (76.2 cm) min. to 36” (91.4 cm) max. above
the countertop. This would typically result in the
bottom of the hood being 66” (167.6 cm) to
72” (182.9 cm) above the floor. These dimensions
provide for safe and efficient operation of the
hood. Refer to the range hood installation
instructions for additional information.

Electrical Connections
This cooktop does not require a neutral
connection. If the cooktop is to be completely
enclosed in a cabinet feed the cooktop cable
through the opening in the cabinet. Make the
electrical connection following the appropriate
steps for your installation.
Your cooktop must be connected to the proper
electrical voltage and frequency as specified in
the table on the right.
Connect with copper wire only
If the house has aluminum wiring follow the
procedure below:
1. Connect the aluminum wiring to the copper
wire by using special connectors designed
and Underwriters Laboratories-listed for
joining copper to aluminum. Follow the
electrical connector manufacturer's
recommended procedure.
2. Aluminum/copper connection must conform
with local codes and industry- accepted
wiring practices.
The flexible conduit (supplied) 3 feet long
(100 cm) located at the right rear of the cooktop
bottom box should be connected directly to
junction box. DO NOT cut the conduit. A U.L - or
CSA - listed conduit connector must be provided
at each end of the power supply cable (at the
cooktop and at the junction box.) A time delay
fuse or circuit breaker is recommended.
DO NOT ground to a gas pipe. DO NOT have a
fuse in the grounding or neutral circuit. Fuse both
supply (phase) lines.
National Fire Protection Association
Batter/march Park Quincy Massachusetts 02269
A three-wire single phase 240 Volt 60 cycle
electrical system (properly circuit protected to
meet Local Codes of NFPA No.70) must be
provided. Unit must be properly grounded in
accordance with local wiring code. The chart
below recommends the minimum circuit protector
and wire size if the appliance is the only unit on
the circuit. If smaller sizes of wire are used the
unit efficiency will be reduced and a fire hazard
may be created. It is advisable that the electrical
wiring and hookup be accomplished by a
competent electrician.
Be sure your appliance is properly installed and
grounded by a qualified technician. Ask your
dealer to recommend a qualified technician or
an authorized repair service. This cooktop does
not require a neutral connection. If the cooktop
Is to be completely enclosed In a cabinet, feed
the cooktop cable through the opening in the
cabinet. Make the electrical connection
following the appropriate steps for your
installation.

Improper connection of aluminum house
wiring to the copper leads can result in a
serious problem.

This appliance is manufactured with a green
ground wire connected to the cooktop chassis.
After making sure that the power has been turned
off connect the flexible conduit from the cooktop
to the junction box using a U.L. listed conduit
connector. The instructions provided below
present the most common way of connecting the
cooktops. Your local codes and ordinances of
course take precedence over these instructions.
Complete electrical connections according to
local codes and ordinances.
Grounding through the neutral conductor is
prohibited for new branch-circuit installations
(1996 NEC); mobile homes; and recreational
vehicles or in an area where local codes prohibit
grounding through the neutral conductor.
3-Wire branch circuit
Where local codes allow the connection of ground
wire from the cooktop to the branch circuit neutral
wire (gray or white colored wire) proceed as follows.
1. If local codes permit connect the green
GROUND wire from the cooktop to the
branch circuit neutral wire (gray or white
colored wire).
2. Connect the red and black leads from the
cooktop to the corresponding leads in the
junction box.
-Wire branch circuit
1. Connect the green ground wire from the
cooktop to the ground wire in the junction
box (bare or green colored wire).
2. Connect the red and black leads from the
cooktop to the corresponding leads in the
junction box.
3. Connect the white wire from the cooktop to
the neutral (gray or white) wire in the
junction box.
4. Terminate and insulate the neutral (gray or
white colored wire) in the junction box.

General Information
Site Preparation
Note: It is recommended that a thorough site
inspection be conducted prior to unpacking and
moving this appliance.
• Chamfer all exposed edges of decorative
laminate to prevent damage from chipping.
• Radius corners of cutout and file to Insure
smooth edges and prevent corner cracking.
Recommend 1/4“or 3/8“ diameter drill In each
corner.
• Rough edges inside corners which have not
been rounded and forced fits can contribute to
cracking of the countertop laminate.
• Confirm available access to adequate power–
see electrical requirements.
• Be sure that the countertop for this appliance
is level and cut according to the cutout
requirements and dimensions–see cutout
requirements and dimensions.
• All wall coverings countertop and cabinets
around the cooktop should withstand heat up
to 200°F (90° C).
• Keep appliance free from combustible materials
gasoline and other flammable vapors.
