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, 40-amp circuit,

fused on both sides of the line.

NOTE: The 15" (38.1 cm) model series requires a 20-amp

circuit.

■ 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. 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, connect the aluminum

wiring to the copper wire by using special connectors

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.

120 volt Cooktop:

■ A 120 volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 20-amp fuse, fused electrical

supply is required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is

recommended. It is recommended that a separate circuit

serving only this appliance be provided. A NEMA 5-20R,

3 prong grounding-type outlet must be used.

■ For your personal safety, this cooktop must be grounded. This

cooktop is equipped with a power supply cord having a NEMA

5-20P, 3 prong grounding plug. To minimize possible shock

hazard, the cord must be plugged into a mating, NEMA 5-20R,

3 prong grounding-type outlet, grounded in accordance with

the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 latest edition, and

local codes and ordinances.

■ If a mating outlet is not available, it is the personal

responsibility and obligation of the customer to have a

properly grounded, NEMA 5-20R, 3 prong outlet installed by a

qualified electrician.

WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment grounding

conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a

qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to

whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the

plug provided with the appliance, if it will not fit the outlet, have a

proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Install Cooktop

1. Remove the shipping materials and tape from the cooktop.

Remove the hardware package from inside the literature bag.

2. Using 2 or more people, place the cooktop upside down on a

protective surface.

3. Two clamp brackets are provided to clamp the cooktop to the

countertop. Install the clamp brackets on each end of the

burner box bottom. If cabinet construction does not provide

clearance for installing brackets at the burner box ends, install

the brackets on the front and back of the burner box bottom.

NOTE: For lift top models, the brackets may be installed

before or after the cooktop is placed into the cutout. However,

installing the brackets after is not recommended for lift top

models.
