Installation Instructions; Prepare Cooktop; Install Foam Strip; Rotate Blower - Jenn-Air 30" (76.2 CM) ELECTRIC DOWNDRAFT COOKTOP Installation Instructions Manual

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).
