Electrical Requirements
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Disconnect power before servicing.
Use 8 gauge copper wire.
Electrically ground cooktop.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is
recommended that a qualified electrical installer determine
that the ground path and wire gauge are in accordance with
local codes.
Check with a qualified electrical installer if you are not sure the
cooktop is properly grounded.
Make sure that the electrical connection and wire size are
adequate and in conformance with the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70 - latest edition or CSA Standards C22.1-94,
Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1 and C22.2 No. O-M91 - latest
edition, and all local codes and ordinances.
A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from:

Before You Make the Electrical Connection:
To properly install your cooktop, you must determine the type of
electrical connection you will be using and follow the instructions
provided for it here.
A 3-wire or 4-wire, single phase, 120-/240-volt, 60 Hz,
■
AC-only electrical supply on a separate, 40-amp circuit
breaker is required. If a fused system is used, fuse both
sides of the line.
The cooktop should be connected directly to the junction
■
box through the flexible metal conduit. The flexible, armored
cable extending from the fuse box or circuit breaker box
should be connected directly to the junction box.
Locate the junction box to allow as much slack as possible
■
between the junction box and the cooktop so that the
cooktop can be moved if servicing becomes necessary
in the future.
A UL listed or CSA approved conduit connector must
■
be provided at each end of the power supply cable
(at the cooktop and at the junction box).
If the house has aluminum wiring, follow the procedure
■
below:
1. Connect a section of solid copper wire to the
pigtail leads.
2. Connect the aluminum wiring to the added section
of copper wire using special connectors and/or tools
designed and UL listed for joining copper to aluminum.
Follow the electrical connector manufacturer's recommended
procedure. Aluminum/copper connection must conform with
local codes and industry accepted wiring practices.
