Electrical Requirements

GROUNDING SPECIFICATIONS
Ground Path Resistance 0.10 Ω Max.
Insulation Resistance 250K Ω Min.
POWER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
The cooktop must be connected to a supply circuit
of the proper voltage and frequency as specifi ed
on the nomenclature tag. Wire size must conform
to the National Electrical Code or the prevailing
local code. The nomenclature tag is located on the
bottom of the burner box.

The branch circuit load for 1 wall-mounted oven
or 1 counter-mounted cooktop is the rating on the
nomenclature tag of the appliance.
The branch circuit load for a counter-mounted
cooktop and not more than 2 wall-mounted ovens―
all supplied from a single branch circuit and located
in the same room―shall be computed by adding the
nameplate ratings on the individual appliances and
treating this total as equivalent to 1 range.

WIRING
Built-in power leads are UL approved for connection
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 temperature rating of the insulation
around the wire rather than the wire gauge alone.
WARNING: Improper connection of aluminum house
wiring to these copper leads can result in a serious
problem. Use only connectors designed for joining
copper to aluminum and follow the manufacturer's
recommended procedure closely.
WIRING REQUIREMENTS
WARNING: This appliance must be properly
grounded.
All cooktops must be hard wired (direct wired)
into an approved junction box. The junction box
must be easily reached through the front of the
cabinet where the cooktop will be located. Allow
considerable slack in the conduit for serviceability.
A "plug and receptacle" is not permitted on these
products.
You must use a 2-wire, 3-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 nomenclature tag on your cooktop for
the KW rating for your cooktop.
