KitchenAid KECC562GBL Installation Instructions - Page 3

Electrical requirements If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the ground path is adequate. Do Not ground to a gas pipe. Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure the cooktop is properly grounded. Do Not have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit. IMPORTANT: Save Installation Instructions for electrical inspector's use. A. A three-wire or four-wire, single phase, 240-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only electrical supply is required on a separate, 40-ampere circuit, fused on both sides of the line. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. The fuse size must not exceed the circuit rating of the appliance specified on the model/serial rating plate located on the bottom of the cooktop. B. THE COOKTOP MUST BE CONNECTED WITH COPPER WIRE ONLY. C. Wire sizes and connections must conform to the requirements of the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70 - latest edition **, or CSA Standards C22.1-94, Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1 and C22.2 No. 0-M91 - latest edition *** and all local codes and ordinances. D. The cooktop should be connected directly to the fused disconnect or circuit breaker box through flexible, armored or non-metallic sheathed, copper cable. The flexible, armored cable extending from the fuse box or circuit breaker box should be connected directly to the junction box. E. 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 is ever necessary. Do Not cut the conduit. F. A U.L.- or C.S.A.-listed conduit connector must be provided at each end of the power supply cable (at the cooktop and at the junction box). Copies of the standards listed may be obtained from: ** National Fire Protection Association Batterymarch Park Quincy, Massachusetts 02269 *** Canadian Standard Association 178 Rexdale Boulevard Etobicoke (Toronto), Ontario M9W 1R3 Panel B Electrical connection WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard Turn power supply off before connecting wires. Use 8-gauge solid copper wire. Electrically ground cooktop. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock. This cooktop must be connected to a grounded, metallic permanent wiring system or a ground connector should be connected to the ground terminal or wire lead on the cooktop. This cooktop is manufactured with a frame connected, green or bare ground wire. Connect the cooktop cable to the junction box through the U.L.- or C.S.A.-listed conduit connector. Complete electrical connection according to local codes and ordinances. A. Where local codes permit connecting the frame-ground conductor to the neutral (white) junction box wire: (Not used for Canadian installations). red wires cable from power supply junction box twist-on connectors white wire black wires bare or green wire cable from cooktop U.L.- or C.S.A.- listed conduit connector Grounded neutral Figure 1 1. Disconnect power supply. 2. Connect the flexible, armored cable from the cooktop to the junction box using a U.L.- or C.S.A.-listed conduit connector. Tighten screws on conduit connector. 3. Connect the green (or bare) appliance cable wire with the neutral (white) wire in the junction box using twist-on connector. 4. Connect the two black wires together; then connect the two red wires together with twiston connector. (See Figure 1.) B. Where local codes Do Not permit connecting the frame-ground conductor to the neutral (white) junction box wire: (Used for all Canadian installations). cable from power supply red wires junction box white wire twist-on connector bare or green wires cable from cooktop black wires U.L.- or C.S.A.- listed conduit connector Ungrounded neutral Figure 2 1. Disconnect power supply. 2. Connect the flexible, armored cable from the cooktop to the junction box using a U.L.- or C.S.A.-listed conduit connector. Tighten screws on conduit connector. 3. Connect the two black wires together; then connect the two red wires together using twiston connector. (See Figure 2.) 4. Connect the green or bare ground wire from the appliance cable to the grounded wire in the junction box or other grounded connector using twist-on connector. 5. Put a twist-on connector on end of white wire. Now start... With cooktop in kitchen. WARNING Excessive Weight Hazard Use two or more people to move and install cooktop. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury. 1. Remove the shipping materials and tape from the cooktop. Remove the hardware package from inside the literature bag. 2. Insert the cooktop into the countertop. Center the cooktop in the cutout. Check that the front of the cooktop is parallel to the front edge of the countertop. Check that all required clearances are met. If cooktop is not properly positioned, lift the cooktop off the countertop to make adjustments. screw clamp countertop cooktop slot screw and clamp assembly clamp tab burner box 3. Insert one clamp tab through each slot located on sides of the burner box. Note: If installing cooktop over a built-under oven, Do Not fasten cooktop to countertop with clamps. Cooktop will then be easy to remove if servicing is ever required. 4. Secure cooktop to countertop by hand- tightening each screw; then use a screwdriver to tighten each screw 1 to 1-1/2 more turns. Do Not overtighten screws. 5. Make electrical connection. (See "Electrical requirements" and "Electrical connection" sections, Panel B.) 6. Turn on power supply. 7. Depending on your model, push in and turn each control knob to the "HI" position or touch "ON" and turn each control knob to the "HI" position. Check the operation of the cooktop elements and indicator lights. To get the most efficient use from your new cooktop, read your Use and Care Guide.
