1. BEFORE
YOU BEGIN
3. CARPENTRY
See Figure 1 for the dimensions
of typical counter top cut-
out. The cut-out must be located so that when the cook top
is set in place there is at least 1% inches between the front
edge of the cook top and the front edge of the counter top.
A 6 inch space must be left between the side(s) of the cook
top and any vertical wall or cabinet extending above the upper
edge of the cook top. This built-in cook top has a shallow
burner box (3") which allows the unit to be mounted above
the cabinet drawers that are more than 3 inches below the
top of counter top.
Read the following instructions
completely
and carefully.
If
followed, they will simplify the installation
job.
IMPORTANT:
Observe
all governing
codes and ordinances.

2. ELECTRICAL
REQUIREMENTS
A three-wire single phase 240 Volt, 60 Hz AC only electrical
supply is required on a separate circuit fused on both sides
of the
line
(time-delay
fuse
or circuit
breaker
is
recommended).
DO NOT fuse neutral. The fuse size must
not exceed the circuit rating of the appliance specified on the
nameplate. NOTE: Wire sizes and connections must conform
with the fuse size and rating of the appliance
in accordance
with the National
Electrical
Code and local codes and
ordinances.
WARNING:
AN EXTENSION
CORD SHOULD
NOT BE
USED WITH THIS APPLIANCE.
SUCH USE MAY RESULT
IN A FIRE, ELECTRICAL
SHOCK, OR OTHER PERSONAL
INJURY.
The appliance should be connected to the fused disconnect
(or circuit breaker) box through flexible armored or non-metalic
sheathed cable. The flexible armored cable extending
from
the appliance should be connected directly to the junction box.
The junction box should be located as shown in Figure 1 so
that as much slack as possible remains in the cable between
the box and the appliance so that it can be moved if servicing
is ever necessary.
A suitable strain relief must be provided to attach the power
supply cord to the junction
box.
4. PREPARATION
FOR
INSTALLATION
A. Remove the Styrofoam end caps from packaging.
Position
them on the counter next to the cutout so they can support
the cooktop.
B. Turn the cooktop
upside down and support
it on the
endcaps
removed in step A. (See figure 2)
