recommended
that a qualified
electrician
determine
that the
grounding
path is adequate.
Do Not ground to a gas pipe.
Check with a qualified electrician
if you
are not sure the cooktop is properly
grounded.
Do Not have a fuse in the neutral or
grounding
circuit.

n
A three-wire, single-phase,
240-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only electrical
supply
is required on a separate, 40-ampere
circuit, fused on both sides of the line.
A time-delay
fuse or circuit breaker is
recommended.
The rating of the fuse or
circuit breaker should be equal to the
marked current rating (amps) on the
appliance,
but not larger than the nex-t
standard fuse or circuit breaker size. The
marked current rating is specified on
the model/serial
rating plate located on
the bottom of the cooktop.

Locate the junction box to
allow as much slack as possible
between junction box and the cooktop
so that the cooktop
can be moved if
servicing is ever necessary. Do Not cut
the conduit.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Disconnect power to the junction box
before making connection.
Electrically ground cooktop.
Failure to follow these instructions
could result in death, fire, or electrical
shock.
This cooktop must be connected
to a
grounded, metallic permanent
wiring
system or a grounding connector
should be connected
to the grounding
terminal or wire lead on the cooktop.
This cooktop is manufactured
with a
frame-connected,
green or bare
grounding wire.
Connect the cooktop cable to the
junction box through the U.L.-listed or
C.S.A.-listed conduit connector.
Complete electrical connection
according
to local codes and
ordinances.
