BEFORE YOU BEGIN:
Read the following instructions completely and
carefully. If followed, they will simplify the in-
stallation job.
IMPORTANT:
Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
WIRING DIAGRAM LOCATION:
A wiring diagram for the umt is included in the literature
package and a copy is also located at the front of the con-
trol cavity (below the control mounting plate).
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
A. A three-wire or four-wire single phase 120/240 volt 60
Hz AC only electrical supply (or three-wire or four-wire
120/208 volt if specified on nameplate) 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 National Electrical Code and local codes and or-
dinances. Do not use an extension cord.
B. The appliance should be connected to the fused dis-
connect (or circuit breaker) box through flexible ar-
mored or non-metallic 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 4 on page 3
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 necessary.
C. A suitable strain relief must be provided to attach the
power supply cord to the junction box.

The cooktop relies upon air patterns
surrounding the cooking surface for proper
operation.
Drafts caused by home heating and air
conditioning and/or open doors and windows
can disrupt this pattern.
Installation as shown in Figures 2 & 3 can also cause improper

The owner should be aware of occasional shifts of the air flow
pattern allowing steam to escape into the room caused by
drafts or changes in the air flow pattern of the room. This is
normal.

PROPER AIR MOVEMENT AND VELOCITY (USE METAL DUCTING ONLY)
Flexible Ducting: Due to the irregular surface of flexible
ducting, each foot of the flex duct counts as two feet of
straight metal duct. Elbows made of flex ducting would
count twice as much as a standard metal elbow,
Attic Venting: Never vent to either attrc or crawl space.
Unit must always be ducted to the outside.
Uniform Size: All ductrng should be umform throughout
the complete system for proper performance.
Duct Restrictions: Never Install two elbow fittings next to
each other, This causes unusual air patterns and subsequen-
tly interrupts velocity and the end result IS poor ventrlation.
Sealing joints: All joints in the duct system must be tightly
taped to avoid smoke and odor in the home. Also, be sure
to caulk thoroughly all joints in floor or wall where duct
system goes to the outside.
DUCT LENGTH RECOMMENDATIONS (MAXIMUM)
6” Dia. or 3-l/4” x 10” Duct
Use 6” or 3-l/4” x 10” duct on island or peninsula in-
stallations. For best performance, it IS suggested that no
more than three 90° elbows with 6” or 3-l/4” x 10” duct
be used.

Install SurfaceUnit
Place surface unit on its side (resting on unfolded cardboard
corner insert from shipping carton). Remove wood skids
from bottom, install Venting Adapter to Blower Housing
by using the three screws provided. See Figure 8.
NOTE: Because of the length of the Venting Adapter,
the Blower Housing should be rotated downward in
order to clear the cabinet opening
Insert unit into countertop opening and tighten hold down
bolts at each end of unit as shown in Figure 9.
Install the cooking components in the surface unit. (For
the correct installation procedure, see Use and Care Guide
in the Literature Package.)

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:
It is the personal responsibility and obligation of the cus-
tomer to contact a qulaified installer to assure that the
electrical installation is adequate and is in conformance
with the National Electrical Code and local code ordi-
nances.
Electrical ground is required on this appliance.
This appliance is equipped with copper lead wires. If con-
nection is made to aluminum house wiring, use only special
connectors which are approved for joining copper and alu-
minum wires in accordance with the National Electrical
Code and local codes and ordinances. This appliance is
manufactured with a white neutral power supply wire and a
frame connected green (or bare) ground wire twisted together.
If local codes permit connection of the frame grounding
conductor to the neutral (white) wire, connect the green
(or bare wire) and white wire from the supply cable of the
appliance together and the neutral (white) wire in the junc-
tion box. Connect the remaining wires from the supply
cable to the wires in the junction box. See Figure 10.
If local codes DO NOT permit frame grounding to the neu-
tral, separate the white (and green or bare wires) that extend
GREEN OR
BARE WIRE
out of the end of the supply cable of the appliance. See
Figure 12. Connect the white wire from the supply cable to
the neutral wire in the junction box. Connect the black (or
brown) and red wire from the supply cable, to the corre-
sponding wires in the junction box. The green (or bare)
wire must now be used to ground the appliance in accord-
ance with local electrical codes. Connect the green colored
copper (or bare) ground wire to a grounded cold water pipe*
(see Figure 11) or to the grounded lead in the service panel.
Do not ground to a gas supply pipe. Do not connect to
electric power supply until appliance is permanently ground-
ed. Connect the ground wire before turning on the power.
(See Figure 11.)
CAUTION - If connecting to a four-wire electrical sys-
tem (MOBILE HOME) the appliance frame MUST NOT
be connected to the neutral wire of the four-wire electri-
cal system. Separate the white (and green or bare wires)
that extend out of the end of the supply cable of the ap-
pliance. Connect the white, red and black (or brown)
wires from the supply cable, to the corresponding wires
in the junction box. Connect the green(or bare) wire from
the supply cable to the ground wire in the junction box.
(See Figure 12)
*Cold water pipe must have metal continuity to electrical ground
and not be interrupted by plastic, rubber or other electrically in-
sulating connectors (including water meter or pump) without
adding a Jumper wire at those connections.
Connectingthe
Vent System
Connect Venting Adapter on bottom of ap-
pliance to installed venting system (refer to
pages 4 and 5 for venting instructions).
CheckOperation
When all connections for the appliance have
been made, turn each control on to make
sure the components are operating correctly.
For instructions on operating, cleaning and
maintaining this appliance, refer to Use and
Care Guide in the Literature Package.
