Electrical w wiring iinformation
An adequate electrical supply must be provi-
ded 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 Electri-
cal 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 connec-
tion 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 connecting the conduit to the junc-
tion box. A three wire, 2-poles, 240 V, 60 Hz
service with minimum 50 A circuit protector
must be provided. The red and the black wire
from the unit are to be connected to the servi-
ce (”hot”) wires, and the green wire is to be
connected to the ground conductor.
The circuit protector for the unit should be
properly marked inside electric panel and any-
body using the unit, or technician servicing
the unit, should be advised of circuit protecto-
r’s location, so that the power to the unit can
be disconnected when necessary.
Once the unit is properly fitted and connected
to the electrical power supply, turn the unit on
to ensure that all elements and controls are
operating well.
Note that your unit is designed for a stabile
and steady 240 V supply and the manufactu-
rer, its distributors and dealers cannot be held
responsible for any unit malfunction due to an
inadequate electrical supply (inadequate ca-
ble size, low voltage, power surge etc). Fur-
thermore, if your residence has only a 208 V
supply system, and if the voltage frequently
fluctuates, your cooktop may not function
properly
It is recommended that the connection to
electrical supply is done by a qualified electri-
cian.
If there is any visible physical damage on the
conduit and the wires, the unit must not be
connected to the mains. A qualified electri-
cian or approved service agent should be cal-
led in to replace the wires and the conduit.
