Installing the Cooktop
Electrical Connections
Important Safety Instructions
• Be sure the cooktop is installed and grounded
properly by a qualified installer or service
technician.
• This cooktop must be electrically grounded in
accordance with local codes or, in their absence,
with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No.
70, latest edition in the United States.
WARNING
• The electrical power to the cooktop must be shut
off while line connections are being made.
Failure to do so could result in serious injury or
death.
Providing the Electrical Connection
• Install the junction box under the cabinet and
run 120/240 or 120/208 Volt, AC wire from the
main circuit panel.
NOTE
• DO NOT connect the wire to the circuit panel at
this time.
Electrical Requirements
Observe all governing codes and local ordinances
1
A 3-wire or 4-wire single-phase 120/240 or
120/208 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.
2
36" induction cooktop can consume up to
11100 W at 240 VAC. A 50 Amp circuit breaker
with #8 AWG must be used.
WARNING
• Do not use an extension cord with this
appliance. Doing so may result in a fire, electrical
shock, or other personal injury.
NOTE
• Wire sizes and connections must conform to the
fuse size and rating of the appliance in
accordance with the National Electrical Code
ANSI/NFPA No. 70, latest edition, and local codes
and ordinances.
3
The appliance should be connected to the
fused disconnect (or circuit breaker) box
through flexible armored or nonmetallic
sheathed cable. The flexible armored cable
extending from this appliance should be
connected directly to the grounded junction
box. The junction box should be located as
shown in Dimensions and Clearances with
as much slack as possible remaining in the
cable between the box and the appliance, so it
can be moved if servicing is ever necessary.
4
A suitable strain relief must be provided to
attach the flexible armored cable to the
junction box.
Electrical Connection
Connect the flexible armored cable that extends
from the surface unit to the junction box using a
suitable strain relief at the point the armored cable
enters the junction box. Then make the electrical
connection as follows.
Electrical ground is required on this appliance.
This appliance is manufactured with a supply wire
and a frame-connected green or bare copper
grounding wire.
NOTE
TO ELECTRICIAN:
• The armored cable leads supplied with the
appliance are UL-listed for connection to larger
gauge household wiring. The insulation of the
leads is rated at temperatures much higher than
the temperature rating of household wiring. The
current-carrying capacity of the conductor wire
is governed by the temperature rating of the
insulation around the wire, rather than the wire
gauge alone.
WARNING
• DO NOT ground to a gas supply pipe. DO NOT
connect to electrical power supply until
appliance is permanently grounded. Connect the
ground wire before turning on the power.
