Electrical Requirements WARNING ■ If the house has aluminum wiring, follow the procedure below: 1. Connect a section of solid copper wire to the pigtail leads. 2. Connect the aluminum wiring to the added section of copper wire using special connectors and/or tools 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. 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. If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrical installer determine that the ground path and wire gauge are in accordance with local codes. Check with a qualified electrical installer if you are not sure the cooktop is properly grounded. It is not recommended to 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. A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from: National Fire Protection Association One Batterymarch Park Quincy, MA 02269 CSA International 8501 East Pleasant Valley Road Cleveland, OH 44131-5575 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 volt, 60 Hz., AC only electrical supply is required on a separate, 50-amp circuit (36" [91.4 cm] models) or 40-amp circuit (30" [76.2 cm] models), fused on both sides of the line. ■ The cooktop should be connected directly to the junction box through flexible, armored or nonmetallic sheathed, copper cable. 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. The length of conduit provided is for serviceability of the cooktop. ■ 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. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Prepare Location 1. Decide on the final location for the cooktop.
