Electrical Requirements
If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is
recommended that a qualied electrical installer determine that
the ground path and wire gauge are in accordance with local
codes.
Do not ground to a gas pipe.
Check with a qualied electrical installer if you are not sure the
cooktop is properly grounded.
Do not have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.
Make sure that the electrical connection and wire size are
adequate and in conformance with the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70-latest edition or CSA Standards C22.1-94,
Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1 and C22.2 No. O-M91-latest
edition, and all local codes and ordinances.

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, 240 V, 60 Hz, AC only
electrical supply is required on a separate, 40 A circuit, fused
on both sides of the line.
■ The cooktop should be connected directly to the junction
box through exible, armored or nonmetallic sheathed,
copper cable. The exible, 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.
■ Do not cut the conduit. Use the length of conduit provided.
■ 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). A listed conduit connector
is already provided at the cooktop.
■ If the house has aluminum wiring, connect the aluminum
wiring to the copper wire by using special connectors
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.
Install Cooktop
1. Remove the shipping materials and tape from the cooktop.
Remove the hardware package from inside the literature bag.
2. Using 2 or more people, place the cooktop upside down on
a protective surface.
3. Two clamp brackets are provided to clamp the cooktop to
the countertop. Install the clamp brackets on each end of the
burner box bottom. If cabinet construction does not provide
clearance for installing brackets at the burner box ends,
install the brackets on the front and back of the burner box
bottom.
NOTE: For lift top models, the brackets may be installed
before or after the cooktop is placed into the cutout.
However, installing the brackets after is not recommended
for lift top models.
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Disconnect power before servicing.
Use 8 gauge copper wire.
Electrically ground cooktop.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
