cooktop before connecting any
electrical supplies.
Before installing the counter unit or moving it to another
location, have the electrician verify:
• That your home is provided with adequate electrical
service.
• That the addition of the counter unit will not overload
the household circuit on which it is used.
Install an approved junction box where it will be easily
reached through the front of the cabinet where the
counter unit will be located. The counter unit has 3 feet
of conduit.
