Installation Instructions
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR YOUR SAFETY
For Personal Safetg, 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 properlg 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.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
This appliance must be supplied with the proper
voltage and frequency, and connected to an
individual, properly grounded branch circuit,
protected by o circuit breaker or o 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, HA 02269
In Canada, wiring must conform to Canadian
Electrical Code (CEC).
The cooktop conduit wiring is approved for copper
wire connection onlg, 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 S0 amp service.

ADVANCE PLANNING
Combination Installations
These cooktops may be installed in combination
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
Allow 12" clearance to combustibles below the
cooktop. A drawer directlg 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.

temperature rating of household wiring. The
current carrying capacity of a conductor is
governed bg the wire gauge end 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 end UL
approved for joining copper to aluminum
