2. The flexible armored cable extending from the
appliance should be connected directly to the
junction box. The junction box should be located
as shown in Figure 1 or Figure 2 and with as much
slack as possible remaining in the cable between
the box and the appliance, so it can be moved if
servicing is ever necessary.
3. A suitable strain relief must be provided to attach
the flexible armored cable to the junction box.
Unpacking Instructions
(Models with Ceramic-Glass Smoothtop Only)
1. Leave corner supports on cooktop until completion
of Electrical Connection.
2. Be sure the bottle of cleaner conditioner packed
in the literature bag is left where the user can
find it easily. It is important that the ceramic-glass
smoothtop be pretreated before use.
IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
• Be sure your cooktop is installed and grounded
properly by a qualified installer or service
technician.
• These cooktops must be electrically grounded in
accordance with local codes or, in their absence,
with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No.
70—latest edition in the United States, or with
CSA Standard C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code, Part
1, in Canada.
WARNING The electrical power to the cooktop
must be shut off while line connections are being
made. Failure to do so could result in serious injury
or death.
Provide Electrical Connection
Install the junction box under the cabinet and run
120/240 or 120/208 Volt, AC wire from the main circuit
panel. DO NOT connect the wire to the circuit panel at
this time.
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 fuse. A circuit breaker or fuse is required by your
appliance. The circuit breaker or fuse amperage
recommended for your appliance is 40A or 50A.
Observe all governing codes and local ordinances
1. A 3-wire or 4-wire single phase 120/240 or 120/208
Volt, 60 Hz AC only electrical supply is required on a
separate circuit fused on both sides of the line (red
and black wires). A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is
recommended. DO NOT fuse neutral (white wire). Only
certain cooktop models may be installed over certain
built-in electric oven models. Approved cooktops and
built-in ovens are listed by the MFG ID number (see the
insert sheet included in the literature package).
NOTE: Wire sizes and connections must conform with
the fuse size and rating of the appliance in accordance
with the American National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA
No. 70-latest edition, or with Canadian CSA Standard
C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1, and local codes
and ordinances.
An extension cord should not be used
with this appliance. Such use may result in a fire,
electrical shock, or other personal injury.

Electrical Connection
It is the responsibility and obligation of the consumer to
contact a qualified installer to assure that the electrical
installation is adequate and is in conformance with the
National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70-latest edition,
or with CSA Standard C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code,
Part 1, and local codes and ordinances.
Risk of electrical shock (Failure to
heed this warning may result in electrocution or
other serious injury.) This appliance is equipped
with copper lead wire. If connection is made to
aluminum house wiring, use only connectors that
are approved for joining copper and aluminum wire
in accordance with the National Electrical Code
and local code and ordinances. When installing
connectors having screws which bear directly on
the steel and/or aluminum flexible conduit, do no
tighten screws sufficiently to damage the flexible
conduit. Do not over bend or excessively distort
flexible conduit to avoid separation of convolutions
en exposure of internal wires.
Electrical ground is required on this appliance.
