INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Prepare Cooktop

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 4-wire or 3-wire, single phase, 120/240 volt, 60 Hz., AC
only electrical supply on a separate, 40-amp circuit breaker is
required for both 30" (76.2 cm) and 36" (91.4 cm) models. If a
fused system is used, fuse both sides of the line.
The cooktop should be connected directly to the junction box
through the flexible metal conduit. 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 necessary in the
future.
A UL listed or CSA approved conduit connector must be
provided at each end of the power supply cable (at the
cooktop and at the junction box).
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.
