Electrical Specifications
IMPORTANT
The cooktop's electrical-connection lead wires may be a smaller
gauge than is installed in your home; however, the National Electric
Code and local inspection authority specify that smaller-gauge wire is
compatible with the larger-gauge wire.
• The owner shall ensure that a licensed electrician installs the
electrical supply for the cooktop.
• The electrical installation (incl. minimum supply wire size)
must comply with the National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA 70
(latest revision), and local codes and ordinances. To obtain a
copy of the standard, contact:
National Fire Protection Association
1 Batterymarch Park
Quincy, Massachusetts 02269-9101
• Correct voltage/frequency/amperage must be supplied to the
cooktop from a dedicated, grounded circuit protected by the
correctly sized circuit breaker or time-delay fuse. If using the
fuse, fuse both sides of the line (L1 and L2).
Total Connected Load*
46.7 Amp. (11.2 kW)
The specifications in this table are for reference only.
*See the product-data label for the current and exact specifications;
**Two 120V hot (L1 and L2), plus one ground (use all-copper wires in all lines)
• The junction box and the circuit breaker or fuse box must be
accessible when the cooktop is in place.
Location Requirements
• Non-combustible material should be installed on the wall
behind the cooktop; surrounding cabinetry must withstand the
temperatures (max. 200°F) generated by the cooktop.
• To avoid a fire hazard, do not install the cooktop between two
tall cabinets.
• To avoid burns from reaching over an active cooking area, do
not install cabinets above the cooktop. (If there are cabinets
above the cooktop, install a range hood to discourage/prevent
storage in those cabinets.
• Do not install the cooktop above a drawer. (The chassis must
have sufficient space below for airflow and installation/
service; see Under-Counter Clearance section, this page.)
• Follow all electrical specifications.
• Plan all installation aspects around local building codes;
consult the local building department for details.v
• Install the junction box within reach of the cooktop's 48-in.
(122 cm) power conduit at the bottom-right rear of the chassis.
• Do not install another kitchen appliance below the cooktop.
INSTALLATION SPECIFICATIONS
Dedicated Circuit Required
240V, 60 Hz. 3-Wire** 50 Amp.
• To reduce risk of fire, and cooktop malfunction/damage, be sure to
exceed all min/max clearances in these instructions.
• Do not modify the cooktop's electrical conduit.
• Do not use an extension cord.
Cooktop Clearance/Ventilation
Under-Counter Clearance
For proper ventilation (to prevent a fire hazard), maintain:
• at least 4 3/4" (12.7 cm) clearance from the countertop to any
surface below (incl. upper edges of drawers)
• 1 1/2" (3.8 cm) minimum clearance between the chassis front
and inside cabinet face.
• If the cooktop chassis is fully enclosed, provide ventilation of
at least 18 square inches into the enclosure.
Overhead Ventilation
To reduce smoke accumulation and risk of personal injury, a range
hood should be installed above the cooktop. The hood should
overhang the entire cooktop surface and project at least 5 in.
beyond the bottom of any overhead cabinets.
Miscellaneous Installation
Countertop
• Always consult the countertop manufacturer for specific
installation instructions/requirements.
• The cutout must accept the cooktop chassis's corners.
Fire-Retardant Materials
Some conditions may require installation of flame-retardant
materials, which materials are marked:
UNDERWRITERS LABORATORIES INC.
CLASSIFIED
MINERAL AND FIBER BOARDS.
SURFACE BURNING CHARACTERISTICS
This mark precedes the flame-spread and smoke ratings. These des-
ignations are shown as FHC (Flame Spread)/(Smoke Developed).
Material with "0" flame-spread rating are flame-retardant. Local
codes may allow other flame-spread ratings.
