Making the Gas/Electric Connection
Electrical Supply Requirements
The correct voltage, frequency and amperage must be supplied to the appliance
from an isolated, grounded circuit which is protected by a properly sized circuit
breaker or time-delay fuse.
The cooktop must be connected to the power supply with copper wire only. The
use of aluminum wire may result in unsatisfactory connections. Flexible armored or
nonmetallic, sheathed copper cable (with a grounding wire) should be used to
supply electrical power to the junction box or receptacle.
The cooktop's factory-equipped, three-prong grounding plug must be inserted into a
mating grounding-type receptacle in accordance with National Electric Code and
applicable state, municipal and local codes.
Be certain to locate the junction box or electrical outlet so the electrical supply may
be easily disconnected in the event that service becomes necessary. Also, provide
extra slack in the cable to allow the cooktop to be removed for servicing.

• If the electrical supply circuit does not have a grounding-type receptacle, it is the
responsibility of the customer to have the existing receptacle changed by an
electrician to a properly grounded receptacle.
• The power supply must be properly polarized. Reverse polarity will result in
continuous sparking of the electrodes, even after flame ignition. If the power
supply is not properly polarized, it is the responsibility of the customer to have
the polarity corrected.
• If there is any doubt as to whether the wall receptacle is properly grounded or
polarized, have it checked by a qualified electrician prior to installing the
cooktop.
• Do not plug the cooktop into Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) receptacles.
The cooktop spark ignition module can cause a GFCI to trip.
