A = 30" (76.2 cm) minimum clearance between the top of
the cooktop and the bottom of an unprotected wood
or metal cabinet.
A = 24" (60.96 cm) minimum when bottom of wood or
metal cabinet is protected by not less than 1/4"
(0.635 cm). FLAME RETARDANT millboard covered
with not less than no. 28 MSG sheet steel, 0.015"

Important InstallationSuggestions
1. Chamfer all exposed edges of decorative laminate to
prevent damage from chipping.
2. Radius corners of cutout and file to insure smooth
edges and prevent corner cracking.
3. Rough edges, inside corners which have not been
rounded and forced fits can contribute to cracking of
the countertop laminate.
4. Countertop must be supported within 3" (7.62 cm) of
cutout.
Check with local utility for governing electrical codes and
ordinances. In the absence of local electrical codes, the
National Electrical Code, NFPA No. 70, governing electric
range installations must be followed. A copy of the
National Electrical Code, NFPA No. 70, can be obtained
by writing to:
National Fire Protection Association

Quincy, Massachusetts 02269
A three-wire, single phase, A.C. 120/240 volt 60 cycle
electrical system (properly circuit protected to meet Local
Codes of NFPA No. 70) must be provided. Unit must be
properly grounded in accordance with local wiring code.
The chart below recommends the minimum circuit
protector and wire size if the appliance is the only unit on
the circuit. If smaller sizes of wire are used, the unit
efficiency will be reduced and a fire hazard may be
created. It is advisable that the electrical wiring and
hookup be accomplished by a competent electrician.

Electrical Wiring Information
The neutral of this unit is grounded to the frame through
the solid copper grounding wire. If used on new
branch-circuit installations (1996 NEC), mobile homes,
recreational vehicles, or in an area where local codes
prohibit grounding through the neutral conductor, untwist
or disconnect the solid copper wire and connect the
ground wire to ground in accordance with local code.
Connect the white neutral to the service neutral. Connect
all wires to the branch circuit with approved connectors.
Use copper or aluminum wire. If aluminum wire is used,
use connectors recognized for joining aluminum to
copper.
