Electrical Shock Hazard
Electrically ground cooktop.
Failure to follow this instruction could
result in death, fire, or electrical shock.
If codes permit and a separate
grounding wire is used, it is
recommended that a qualified
electrician determine that the
grounding path is adequate.
Do Not ground to a gas pipe.
Check with a qualified electrician if you
are not sure the cooktop is properly
grounded.
Do Not have a fuse in the neutral or
grounding circuit.
IMPORTANT:
Save Installation Instructions for electrical
inspector’s use.

A three-wire, single-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 rating of the fuse or
circuit breaker should be equal to the
marked current rating (amps) on the
appliance, but not larger than the nex-t
standard fuse or circuit breaker size. The
marked current rating is specified on
the model/serial rating plate located on
the bottom of the cooktop.

The cooktop 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 fuse box or circuit breaker box
should be connected directly to the
junction box.
E
n
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. Do Not cut
the conduit.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Disconnect power to the junction box
before making connection.
Electrically ground cooktop.
Failure to follow these instructions
could result in death, fire, or electrical
shock.
This cooktop must be connected to a
grounded, metallic permanent wiring
system or a grounding connector
should be connected to the grounding
terminal or wire lead on the cooktop.
This cooktop is manufactured with a
frame-connected, green or bare
grounding wire.
Connect the cooktop cable to the
junction box through the U.L.-listed or
C.S.A.-listed conduit connector.
Complete electrical connection
according to local codes and
ordinances.
