ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Be sure your cooktop is installed and grounded
properly by a qualified installer or service
technician.
• This cooktop 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.
PROVIDING THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Install the junction box under the cabinet and run
120/240 or 120/208 volt, AC wire from the main
circuit panel.
NOTE: DO NOT connect the wire to the circuit
panel at this time.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Observe all governing codes and local
ordinances.
ᕡ
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 (time-delay fuse or circuit
breaker is recommended). DO NOT fuse
neutral. The fuse size must not exceed the
circuit rating of the appliance specified on the
nameplate.
ᕢ
36 ” Radiant cooktop can consume up to
10,500W at 240 VAC. A 50 Amp circuit breaker
with wire guage #8 AWG must be used.
30 ” Radiant cooktop can consume up to 7700W
at 240 VAC. A 40 Amp circuit breaker with wire
guage #8 AWG must be used.
NOTE: Wire sizes and connections must
conform with the fuse size and rating of the
appliance in accordance with the National
Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70, latest
edition, and local codes and ordinances.
ᕣ
The appliance should be connected to the fused
disconnect (or circuit breaker) box through
flexible armored or nonmetallic sheathed cable.
The flexible armored cable extending from this
appliance should be connected directly to the
grounded junction box. The junction box should
be located as shown on page 21 or 23 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.
ᕤ
A suitable strain relief must be provided to
attach the flexible armored cable to the junction
box.
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.
WARNING
An extension cord must not be used with this
appliance. Such use may result in a fire,
electrical shock, or other personal injury.
