INSTALLATION
Wiring
POWER SHARING
Power sharing happens when the total amount of watts is above the rated wattage,
which is 7200W for RCIND-24 and RCIND-30 and 9300W for RCIND-36. Max
watts is the first number in the diagram to the left and Boost watts is second number.
Power levels 3 through 9 will use the max watts on the burner being used. When
using three burners at once above power level 3 and then adding a fourth on Boost,
this will combine the total wattage being used above the rated 7200W. Power
sharing will activate and will make the total watt usage 7200W, thus it will drop that
Boost level to 9 instead and show the change on the display panel.
CONNECTING THE COOKTOP TO THE MAIN POWER SUPPLY
The power supply should be connected in compliance with the relevant standard, or
a single-pole circuit breaker. The method of connection is shown as below.
If the cable is damaged or needs replacing, this should be done by an after sales
technician using the proper tools, so as to avoid any accidents.
• If the appliance is being connected directly to the mains supply, an omnipolar
circuit breaker must be installed with a minimum gap of 0.12" between
the contacts.
• The installer must ensure that the correct electrical connection has been made
and that it complies with safety regulations.
• The cable must not be bent or compressed.
• The cable must be checked regularly and only replaced by a proper
qualified person
NOTE: If your house has a 4 wire system, under no circumstances should the neutral
line be connected to ground, as it may result in injury and fire.
