Installation Highlights; Electrical Requirements - KitchenAid KECC586G Manual

INSTALLATION HIGHLIGHTS

If codes permit and a separate ground wire
is used, it is recommended that a qualified
electrician determine that the ground path
is adequate.
Do not ground to a gas pipe.
Check with a qualified electrician if you are
not sure whether the cooktop is properly
grounded.
Do not have a fuse in the neutral or ground
circuit.
1. A three-wire or four-wire, single phase,
240-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only electrical supply
is required on a separate, 40-ampere cir-
cuit, fused on both sides of the line. A time-
delay fuse or circuit breaker is recom-
mended. The fuse size must not exceed
the circuit rating of the appliance specified
on the model/serial rating plate located on
the bottom of the cooktop.
THE COOKTOP MUST BE CONNECTED
WITH COPPER WIRE ONLY.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

2. Wire sizes and connections must conform
to the requirements of the National Electri-
cal Code ANSI/NFPA 70 — latest edi-
tion**, or CSA Standards C22.1-94, Cana-
dian Electrical Code, Part 1 and C22.2 No.
0-M91 — latest edition*** and all local
codes and ordinances.
3. The cooktop should be connected directly
to the fused disconnect or circuit breaker
box through flexible, armored or non-me-
tallic sheathed, copper cable. The flexible,
armored cable extending from the fuse
box or circuit breaker box should be con-
nected directly to the junction box.
4. 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 is ever neces-
sary. Do Not cut the conduit.
5. A U.L. - or C.S.A.-listed conduit connector
must be provided at each end of the power
supply cable (at the cooktop and at the
junction box).
