CUTTING THE COUNTERTOP

If you are installing the cooktop in a solid surface material such as granite, quartz or any other natural or synthetic solid surface, we recommend that the cutout be prepared by a professional cabinet or countertop installer.

Cooktop cutouts in wood or wood-laminate countertops may be able to be prepared using a saber saw and electric drill.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

FOR YOUR SAFETY

• For Personal Safety, remove house fuse or open circuit breaker before beginning installation. Failure to do so could result in serious injury or death.
• Be sure your cooktop is installed properly by a qualified installer or service technician.

• To eliminate the risk of burns or fire due to reaching over heated surface elements, cabinet storage located above the surface units should be avoided. If cabinet storage space is to be provided, the risk can be reduced by installing a range hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5" beyond the bottom of the cabinets. Cabinet installation above the cooktop may be no deeper than 13".

• Make sure the cabinets and wall coverings around the cooktop can withstand the temperatures (up to 200°F) generated by the cooktop.

• The cooktop should be easy to reach and lighted with natural light during the day.
• Always disconnect the electrical service to the cooktop before repairing or servicing the cooktop. This can be done by disconnecting the fuse or circuit breaker. Failure to do this could result in a dangerous or fatal shock. Know where your main disconnect switch is located. If you do not know, have your electrician show you.

NOTE TO ELECTRICIAN: The power leads supplied with this appliance are UL recognized for connections to larger gauge household wiring. The insulation of these leads is rated at temperatures much higher than the temperature rating of household wiring. The current carrying capacity of a conductor is governed by the wire gauge and also the temperature rating of the insulation around the wire.

NOTE: ALUMINUM WIRING

WARNING

INSTALLATIONS WITH ALUMINUM

HOUSE WIRING REQUIRE ATTENTION:

A. Improper connection of Aluminum house wiring to appliance copper leads can result in an electrical hazard or fire. Use only connectors designed

for joining copper to aluminum and follow the manufacturer's recommend procedure closely.

B. Aluminum to Copper wiring connections must conform with the National Electrical code, local codes and industry-accepted wiring practices.
C. If an anti-oxidant compound is added to the wiring connectors, the compound should be UL-Listed and suitable for the application materials, voltage and temperature.
D. Connectors for joining Aluminum and Copper wiring may be larger in size than standard connectors. It is recommended to use a double-gang, or larger, electrical box to enclose the connectors joining Aluminum and Copper wiring.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

This appliance must be supplied with the proper voltage and frequency, and connected to an individual, properly grounded branch circuit, protected by a circuit breaker or a time delay fuse as noted on name plate and on the chart below.

KW Rating240V	KW Rating208V	RecommendedCircuit Size(Dedicated)
4.9 KW–7.2 KW 4.2	KW–6.2 KW 30 Amp
7.3 KW–9.6 KW 6.3	KW–8.3 KW 40 Amp

We recommend you have the electrical wiring and hookup of your cooktop connected by a qualified electrician. After installation, have the electrician show you where your main cooktop disconnect is located.

Wiring must conform to National Electrical Code and all local electrical codes. You can get a copy of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-Latest Edition, by writing to:

National Fire Protection Association

Batterymarch Park

Quincy, MA 02269

In Canada, wiring must conform to Canadian Electrical Code (CEC).

The cooktop conduit wiring is approved for copper wire connection only, and if you have aluminum house wiring, you must use special UL approved connectors for joining copper to aluminum. In Canada, you must use special CSA approved connectors for joining copper to aluminum. Installations with Aluminum House Wiring require attention. See Warning under NOTES: ALUMINUM WIRING, above. You must use a two-wire, three conductor 208/240 VAC, 60 Hertz electrical system. A white (neutral) wire is not needed for this unit. The cooktop must be installed in a circuit that does not exceed 125 VAC nominal to ground.

Refer to the name plate on your cooktop for the KW rating for your cooktop.

These cooktops require 30 amp service for 30" units, 40 amp service for 36" units.

PRE-INSTALLATION CHECKLIST

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

WARNING

The electrical power to the cooktop supply line must be shut off while connections are being made. Failure to do so could result in serious injury or death.

When preparing the cooktop opening, make sure the inside of the cabinet and the cooktop do not interfere with each other. (See section on preparing the opening.)

Remove packaging materials and literature package from the cooktop before beginning installation.

Be sure to place all literature, Owner's Manual, Installations Instructions, etc. in a safe place for future reference.

Make sure you have all the tools and materials you need before starting the installation of the cooktop.

Your home must provide the adequate electrical service needed to safely and properly use your cooktop. (Refer to section on electrical requirements.)

When installing your cooktop in your home, make sure all local codes and ordinances are followed exactly as stated.

Make sure the wall coverings, countertop and cabinets around the cooktop can withstand heat (up to 200°F) generated by the cooktop.

Installing cooktop in combination with other products. Both products must be installed according to their specific product installation instructions. Consideration must be given to the separate electrical requirements and locations:

Over one or two wall ovens:

- Only certain models may be installed over wall ovens. The wall oven and cooktop will both have a label stating which models are approved in combination.
