Jenn-Air JIC4730HB Installation Instructions - Page 6

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 3-wire or 4-wire, single phase, 240 V, 60 Hz, AC only electrical supply is required on a separate, 40 A for 24" (61.0 cm) and 30" (76.2 cm) models; 50 A for 36" (91.4 cm) model, 2-pole breaker, 240/208 V, 50/60 Hz AC supply circuit fused on both sides of the line. The model/serial/rating plate is located on the metal cabinet underneath the cooktop. See the following illustration. NOTE: A separate 40 A [24" (61.0 cm) and 30" (76.2 cm) models] or 50 A [36" (91.4 cm) model] circuit fused on both sides of the line can be used for 40 A or 50 A, 2-pole breaker, 240/208 V, 50/60 Hz AC-supply. ■■ The cooktop should be connected directly to the junction box through flexible, conduit shielded wire. No alternative is permissible. The flexible, 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, follow the procedure below: Connect the aluminum wiring using special connectors and/or tools designed and UL listed for joining copper to aluminum. A A. Model/serial/rating plate ■■ The cooktop is rated 240/208 V. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Prepare Cooktop for Installation Write down the model and serial numbers before installing the cooktop. Both numbers are located on the center underside of the burner box. Unpack the parts supplied with your cooktop. The parts shipped with the cooktop depend on the model ordered. See the "Tools and Parts" section for a complete list of parts supplied with the cooktop. Decide on the final location for the cooktop. Locate existing wiring to avoid drilling into or severing wiring during installation. 1. Remove the foam strip from the hardware package. Remove the backing from the foam strip. For countertop installations: Apply the foam strip with the adhesive side to the countertop within 1/16" (1.6 mm) of the edge of the cutout, front, back, and sides. For flush installations: Apply the foam strip with the adhesive side to the bottom of the cutout recessed area. Save the excess foam strip for use with the mounting bridge kit. NOTE: The foam strip helps keep the underside of the cooktop frame free from debris and helps the cooktop sit flat on uneven countertops. Do not silicone seal in place. Install Cooktop NOTE: For multi-unit installations, a mounting bridge kit is required. See the "Tools and Parts" section. 1. Install the cooktop into the countertop cutout by tilting one end of the cooktop into the cutout, then lowering the other end into the cutout. NOTE: Make sure that the front edge of the cooktop is parallel to the front edge of the countertop. If repositioning is needed, lift the entire cooktop up to avoid scratching the countertop.
