Installation Instructions

FOR YOUR SAFETY

• For Personal Safety, remove house fuse or open

circuit breaker before beginning installation.

Failure to do so could result in serious injury

or death.

• Be sure your cooktop is installed properly by

a qualified installer or service technician.

• To eliminate the risk of burns or fire due to

reaching over heated surface elements, cabinet

storage located above the surface units should

be avoided. If cabinet storage space is to be

provided, the risk can be reduced by installing a

range hood that projects horizontally a minimum

of 5″ beyond the bottom of the cabinets. Cabinet

installation above the cooktop may be no deeper

than 13″.

• Make sure the cabinets and wall coverings

around the cooktop can withstand the

temperatures (up to 200°F) generated

by the cooktop.

• The cooktop should be easy to reach and lighted

with natural light during the day.

• Always disconnect the electrical service to

the cooktop before repairing or servicing the

cooktop. This can be done by disconnecting the

fuse or circuit breaker. Failure to do this could

result in a dangerous or fatal shock. Know where

your main disconnect switch is located. If you do

not know, have your electrician show you.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

This appliance must be supplied with the proper

voltage and frequency, and connected to an

individual, properly grounded branch circuit,

protected by a circuit breaker or a time delay

fuse as noted on name plate.

We recommend you have the electrical wiring and

hookup of your cooktop connected by a qualified

electrician. After installation, have the electrician

show you where your main cooktop disconnect

is located.

Wiring must conform to National Electrical Code

and all local electrical codes. You can get a copy

of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No.

70-Latest Edition, by writing:

National Fire Protection Association

Batterymarch Park

Quincy, MA 02269

In Canada, wiring must conform to Canadian

Electrical Code (CEC).

The cooktop conduit wiring is approved for copper

wire connection only, and if you have aluminum

house wiring, you must use special UL approved

connectors for joining copper to aluminum. In

Canada, you must use special CSA approved

connectors for joining copper to aluminum.

You must use a two-wire, three conductor 208/240

VAC, 60 Hertz electrical system. A white (neutral)

wire is not needed for this unit.

Refer to the name plate on your cooktop for the

KW rating for your cooktop.

These cooktops require 50 amp service.

Installation Instructions

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

WARNING – The electrical power to

the cooktop supply line must be shut off while

connections are being made. Failure to do so

could result in serious injury or death.

When preparing cooktop opening, make sure

the inside of the cabinet and the cooktop do

not interfere with each other. (See section on

preparing the opening.)

Remove packaging materials and literature

package from the cooktop before beginning

installation.

Remove Installation Instructions from the

literature pack and read them carefully before

you begin.

Be sure to place all literature, Owner’s Manual,

Installations, etc. in a safe place for future

reference.

Make sure you have all the tools and

materials you need before starting the

installation of the cooktop.

Your home must provide the adequate

electrical service needed to safely and

properly use your cooktop. (Refer to section

on electrical requirements.)

When installing your cooktop in your home,

make sure all local codes and ordinances are

followed exactly as stated.

Make sure the wall coverings, countertop and

cabinets around the cooktop can withstand

heat (up to 200°F) generated by the cooktop.

with an approved downdraft vent or a single oven.

Cooktop and a Downdraft Vent

– The countertop must have a deep flat surface

to accommodate the combined installation of

the cooktop and vent.

– Consideration must be given to the separate

electrical supply locations.

– Allow 12″ clearance between the inlet air ports

on the cooktop bottom toward the rear to any

obstruction.

– Both the cooktop and the vent must be installed

according to each specific product installation

instruction.

Cooktop with a Single Oven

– Consideration must be given to the separate

electrical requirements and locations.

– Both the cooktop and the oven must be installed

according to each specific product installation

instruction.

Installation Above Cabinet Drawers

cooktop. A drawer directly below the cooktop

cannot be used to store items such as towels or

paper products. Use a false drawer front to obtain

clearance if necessary.

Before you begin-Read these instructions completely and carefully.

IMPORTANT- Save these instructions for local inspector's use.

IMPORTANT- OBSERVE ALL GOVERNING CODES AND ORDIANCES.

Note to Installer- Be sure to leave these instructions with the consumer.

OWNER- Keep these instructions for future reference.

Note- This appliance must be properly grounded (if applicable).

connections, use the

entire length of conduit

provided. The conduit

must not be shortened

(unless required by local

codes). The conduit length

is 4 ft. With the cooktop in

place, open the front of

the cabinet door. Insert

the wires from the conduit

through the opening of

the junction box. The conduit strain relief clamp

must be securely attached to the junction box and

the flexible conduit must be securely attached to

the clamp.

•When installing in new construction, or

•When installing in a mobile home, or

•When installing in a recreational vehicle, or

•When local codes do not permit grounding

through neutral:

a. Insert conduit through strain relief and tighten.

b.

Attach the appliance grounding lead (green or

bare copper) in accordance with local codes. If

the residence grounding conductor is

aluminum, see WARNING.

CHECKLISTS

OPERATION CHECKLIST

Remove all items from the top

of the cooktop surface.

Turn on the power to the cooktop.

(Refer to your Owner’s Manual.) Verify that all

surface burners operate properly.

Check that the circuit breaker is not tripped

nor the house fuse blown.

Check that conduit is securely connected to

the junction box.

See Owner’s Manual for troubleshooting list.

NOTE TO ELECTRICIAN:

The power leads supplied with this appliance are

UL recognized for connections to larger gauge

household wiring. The insulation of these leads

is rated at temperatures much higher than the

temperature rating of household wiring. The

current carrying capacity of a conductor is

governed by the wire gauge and also the

temperature rating of the insulation around

the wire.

NOTE: ALUMINUM WIRING

• WARNING:

IMPROPER CONNECTION OF ALUMINUM

HOUSE WIRING TO THE COPPER LEADS CAN

RESULT IN A SERIOUS PROBLEM.

• Splice copper wires to aluminum wiring

using special connectors designed and UL

approved for joining copper to aluminum

and follow the manufacturer’s recommended

connector procedure closely.

NOTE: Wire used, location and enclosure of

splices, etc., must conform to good wiring

practice and local codes.
