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.

C. Save cardboard corner inserts in shipping carton for
use in Step 5.

Location of Unit
J
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.

simply grasp the Blower Housing and rotate it to the

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.
