Electrical:
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.
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 4-wire or 3-wire, single phase, 240 volt, 60 Hz., AC only electrical supply is
■
required on a separate, 40-amp circuit, fused on both sides of the line. The
model/serial number rating plate is located on the metal cabinet underneath
the cooktop. See the following illustration.
A. Model/serial number plate
Cooktops with 3-wire cable coming from the cooktop are rated 240 volt
■
and do not have a neutral (white) wire.
The cooktop should be connected directly to the junction box through flexible,
■
armored or nonmetallic sheathed, copper cable. 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.
Do not cut the conduit. The length of conduit provided is for serviceability
■
of the cooktop.
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). A listed
conduit connector is already provided at the cooktop.
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.

LOCATION REQUIREMENTS
IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances. When installing cooktop, use
minimum dimensions given.
To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over the heated surface units, cabinet storage
■
space located above the surface units should be avoided. If cabinet storage is to be provided,
the risk can be reduced by installing a range hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5"
(12.7 cm) beyond the bottom of the cabinets.
The cooktop must be a specified cooktop that is approved to be installed either alone or
■
over an undercounter built-in oven. Check the cooktop base approved installation label for
your cooktop model number and approved combinations of cooktops and ovens that can
be installed. If you do not find this label, your cooktop may not be approved for use over an
undercounter built-in oven. Contact your dealer to confirm that your cooktop is approved.
Ovens approved for this type of installation will have an approval label located on the top of the
■
oven. If you do not find this label, contact your dealer to confirm that your oven is approved.
Refer to oven manufacturer's Installation Instructions for approval for built-in undercounter use
and proper cutout dimensions.
When installing cooktop over an undercounter built-in oven, do not fasten cooktop to countertop
■
with screws. This will make the cooktop easier to remove if future servicing becomes necessary.
Use the countertop opening dimensions that are given with these Installation Instructions. Given
■
dimensions are minimum clearances and provide 0" (0 cm) clearance.
Grounded electrical supply is required. See "Electrical Requirements" section.
■
IMPORTANT: To avoid damage, check with your builder or cabinet supplier to make sure that the
materials used will not discolor, delaminate or sustain other damage.
