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 5beyond 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.

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.

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.

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.
