Before You Make the Electrical Connection:
To properly install your cooktop, you must determine the type of
electrical connection you will be using and follow the instructions
provided for it here.
A 3-wire or 4-wire, single phase, 120/240 volt, 60-Hz., AC
only electrical supply is required on a separate, 40-amp
circuit fused on both sides of the line. The model/serial
number rating plate is located on the metal cabinet
underneath the cooktop. See the following illustration.
