Electrical Shock Hazard
l
Electrical ground is required on
this appliance.
l
If cold water pipe is interrupted
by plastic, non-metallic
gaskets
or other insulating materials, Do
Not use for grounding.
l
Check with a qualified
electrician
if you are in doubt as
to whether the appliance
is
properly grounded.
l
Do Not have a fuse in the neutral
or grounding circuit. A fuse in the
neutral or grounding circuit could
result in electrical
shock.
Failure to follow these instructions
could result in an electrical
shock
or other personal injury.
If codes permit and a separate grounding
wire is used, it is recommended that a
qualified electrician determine that the
grounding path is adequate.
A
n
A three-wire, single phase, 24C-volt,
60-Hz, AC only electrical supply is
required on a separate, 4Gampere
circuit, fused on both sides of the
line. (A time-delay fuse or circuit
breaker is recommended.)
The fuse
size must not exceed the circuit
rating of the appliance
specified on
the serial/rating plate located on
the bottom of the cooktop.
It is the personal responsibility and
obligation of the customer to
contact a qualified electrician to
assure that the electrical installation is
adequate
and in conformance
with
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA
70-latest edition*, and all local codes
and ordinances.

copper cable. The flexible, armored
cable extending from the appliance
should be connected
directly to the
junction box. Allow two or three feet
of slack in the line so that the
appliance
can be moved if servicing
Is ever necessary.
A U.L.-listed conduit connector
must
be provided at each end of the power
supply cable (at the appliance
and at
the junction box). Wire sizes (COPPER
WIRE ONLY) and connections
must
conform with the rating of the
appliance
(40 amperes).

Electrical Shock Hazard
l
Electrical ground is required on
this appliance.
l
This appliance
must be
connected
to a grounded,
permanent wiring system or a
grounding connector
should be
connected
to the grounding
terminal or wire lead on the
appliance.
l
Disconnect power to the
junction box.
l
Do Not connect to the
electrical supply until
appliance
is permanently
grounded.
Failure to do so could result in
electrical shock, serious injury, or
death.
This appliance
