Electrical Shock Hazard
l Electrical ground is required on this
appliance.
l If cold water pipe is interrupted by
plastic, non-metallic gaskets, or other
insulating materials, Do Not use for
grounding.
l Do Not ground to a gas pipe.
l Do Not have a fuse in the neutral or
grounding circuit. A fuse in the neutral
or grounding circuit could result in an
electrical shock.
l Check with a qualified electrician if you
are in doubt as to whether the appliance
is properly grounded.
Failure to follow these in instructions
could result in serious injury or death.
If codes permit and a separate grounding
wire is used, it is recommended that a
qualified electrician determine that the
grounding path is adequate.
IMPORTANT:
Save Installation Instructions for electrical
inspector’s use.

phase, 240-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only
electrical supply is required on a
separate, 40-ampere circuit, fused on both
sides of the line. A time-delay fuse or circuit
breaker is recommended. The fuse size must
not exceed the circuit rating of the appliance
specified on the serial/rating plate located on
the bottom of the cooktop.

Wire sizes (COPPER WIRE ONLY)
and connections must conform with
the rating of the appliance
(40
amperes). The appliance should be connected
directly to the fused disconnect or circuit
breaker box through flexible, armored or non-
metallic sheathed, copper cable. The flexible,
armored cable extending from the appliance
should be connected directly to the junction box.
JE.I
Locate the junction box to allow as
much slack as possible between
junction box and the cooktop so that
the cooktop can be moved if servicing is ever
necessary.
This appliance is manufactured with a cabinet-
connected, green or bare grounding wire.
Connect the appliance cable to the junction box
through the U.L.-listed conduit connector.
Complete electrical connection according to
local codes and ordinances.
