Whirlpool WCI55US0JS 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 4-wire or 3-wire, single phase, 240 V, 60 Hz, AC only electrical supply is required on a separate, 50 A circuit (36" [92.2 cm] models) or 40 A circuit (30" [78.2 cm] models), or 32 A circuit (24" [65.0 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. ■ 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. Follow the electrical connector manufacturer's recommended procedure. Aluminum/copper connection must conform with local codes and industry accepted wiring practices.
