ELECTRIC COOKTOP INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS • Be sure your cooktop is installed and grounded properly by a qualified installer or service technician. • These cooktops must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in their absence, with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70-latest edition in the United States, or with CSA Standard C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1, in Canada. WARNING The electrical power to the cooktop must be shut off while line connections are being made. Failure to do so could result in serious injury or death. 2. The flexible armored cable extending from the appliance should be connected directly to the junction box. The junction box should be located as shown in Figure 1 or Figure 2 and with as much slack as possible remaining in the cable between the box and the appliance, so it can be moved if servicing is ever necessary. 3. A suitable strain relief must be provided to attach the flexible armored cable to the junction box. Unpacking Instructions (Models with Ceramic-Glass Smoothtop Only) 1. Leave corner supports on cooktop until completion of Electrical Connection. 2. Be sure the bottle of cleaner conditioner packed in the literature bag is left where the user can find it easily. It is important that the ceramic-glass smoothtop be pretreated before use. Provide Electrical Connection Install the junction box under the cabinet and run 120/240 or 120/208 Volt, AC wire from the main circuit panel. DO NOT connect the wire to the circuit panel at this time. 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 fuse. A circuit breaker or fuse is required by your appliance. The circuit breaker or fuse amperage recommended for your appliance is 40A or 50A. Observe all governing codes and local ordinances 1.A 3-wire or 4-wire single phase 120/240 or 120/208 Volt, 60 Hz AC only electrical supply is required on a separate circuit fused on both sides of the line (red and black wires). A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. DO NOT fuse neutral (white wire). Only certain cooktop models may be installed over certain built-in electric oven models. Approved cooktops and built-in ovens are listed by the MFG ID number (see the insert sheet included in the literature package).
