Installation Instructions
PRODUCT DIMENSIONS
AND CLEARANCES
This cooktop cannot be installed in countertops that
cannot accept screws, such as granite or marble, etc.
Counter space must be provided for installation of
the cooktop. To insure accuracy, it is best to make a
template when cutting the opening in the counter.
See illustration below for all necessary dimensions.
When choosing a location, the following minimum
clearances must be maintained between the cooktop
and adjacent combustible surfaces:
• 30
″ (76.2 cm) minimum vertical clearance from
the cooktop to the nearest overhead surface.
• 15
″ (38.1 cm) minimum vertical clearance to
adjacent cabinets.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
ATTENTION: All electric cooktops must be hard wired
(direct wired) into an approved junction box. A plug
and receptacle is not permitted for these products.
We recommend you have the electrical wiring and
hookup of your cooktop done by a qualified electrician.
After installation, have the electrician show you where
your main disconnect is located.
Check with your local utilities for electrical codes
which apply in your area. Failure to wire your cooktop
according to governing codes could result in a
hazardous condition. If there are no local codes,
your cooktop must be wired and fused to meet the
requirements of the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA No. 70 Latest Edition. You can get
a copy by writing:
National Fire Protection Association
Batterymarch Park
Quincy, MA 02269
You should use a single phase, three wire 240/120 Volt,
60 Hertz electrical power system. If aluminum wiring is
used, all connections MUST be listed for use with
aluminum and copper wiring. It is strongly
recommended that if aluminum wiring is used, the
special terminal grease for use with aluminum wiring,
preferably with “grit”, is put into the connection to keep
it from corroding over time.
At a minimum, the National Electrical Code wire sizing
in Section 310 should be followed. It is further
recommended that No. 8 AWG copper (or No. 6 AWG
aluminum) wire or larger if required, protected with
either a double pole 40 Ampere circuit breaker or two
40 Ampere fuses, be used to supply power to the cooktop.
See the section on Electrical Connections for detailed
instructions on hookup of your cooktop.
