Failure to follow these instructions can
result in death, fire, or electrical shock.
If codes permit and a separate ground
wire is used, it is recommended that a
qualified electrical installer determine that
the ground path and the wire gauge are in
accordance with local codes.
Check with a qualified electrical installer if
you are not sure the cooktop is properly
grounded.
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, 208 or 240 volt AC, 60-Hz, power supply is
required on a dedicated double pole circuit breaker of at least 40 amps for the
30" cooktop, and of at least 45 amps for the 36" cooktop.
NOTE
• The cooktop is rated 240 volt. Some models have a neutral (white) wire.
• The cooktop should be connected directly to the junction box through flexible,
armored or nonmetallic sheathed, copper cable. The flexible, armored cable
extending from the fuse box or circuit breaker box should be connected directly
to the junction box.
• 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 becomes
necessarry in the future.
• Do not cut the conduit. Use the length of conduit provided.
• A UL listed or CSA approved conduit connector is necessary at each end of the
power supply cable (at the cooktop and at the junction box). A listed conduit
connector is already provided at the cooktop.
• If the house has aluminum wiring, follow the procedure below:
1. Connect a section of solid copper wire to the pigtail leads.
2. Connect the aluminum wiring to the added section of copper wire using
special connectors and/or tools designed and UL listed for joining copper
to aluminum.
Follow the electrical connector manufacturer's recommended procedure.
Aluminum/copper connection must conform with local codes and industry
accepted wiring practices.
