Electrical wiring information
An adequate electrical supply must be provided
for this unit. All wire connections and grounding
must be done in accordance with local electrical
codes, or if these codes are not established, then
with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No.
70 in the US , or with the Canadian Electrical
Code, CAN/CSA C22.1, in Canada.
This unit comes equipped with three connection
wires in a flexible conduit. The conduit must be
routed and properly connected to an approved,
owner-supplied, electrical, wall junction-box. An
approved connector must be used for connect-
ing the conduit to the junction box. A three wire, 2
poles, 240 V, 60 Hz service with minimum 30 A cir-
cuit protector must be provided. The red and the
black wire from the unit are to be connected to the
service (”hot”) wires, and the green wire is to be
connected to the ground conductor.
The circuit protector for the unit should be proper-
ly marked inside electric panel and anybody us-
ing the unit, or technician servicing the unit,
should be advised of circuit protector’s location,
so that the power to the unit can be disconnected
if necessary.
Once the unit is properly fitted and connected to
the electrical power supply, turn the unit on to en-
sure that all elements and controls are operating
well.
Note that your unit is designed for a stabile and
steady 240 V supply .The manufacturer, its distrib-
utors and dealers cannot be held responsible for
any unit malfunction due to an inadequate electri-
cal supply (inadequate cable size, low voltage,
power surge, etc). Furthermore, if your residence
has only a 208 V supply system, and if the voltage
frequently fluctuates, your cooktop may not func-
tion properly
It is recommended that the connection to an elec-
trical supply be done by a qualified electrician.
If there is any visible physical damage on the con-
duit and the wires, the unit must not be connected
to the electric power. A qualified electrician or ap-
proved service agent should be called in to re-
place the wires and the conduit.
