120-volt cooktop
A 120-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only, 20-ampere,
fused electrical supply is required.
(Time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is
recommended.) It is recommended
that a separate circuit serving only this
appliance be provided. A NEMA 5-
20R, 3-prong ground-type outlet must
be used.
Recommended ground
method
For your personal safety, this cooktop
must be grounded. This cooktop is
equipped with a power supply cord
having a NEMA 5-20P, 3-prong ground
plug. To minimize possible shock
hazard, the cord must be plugged into a
mating, NEMA 5-20R, 3-prong ground-
type outlet, grounded in accordance
with the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70 — latest edition*, and
local codes and ordinances. (See
Figure 1.)
If a mating outlet is not available, it is
the personal responsibility and
obligation of the customer to have a
properly grounded, NEMA 5-20R,
3-prong outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
WARNING - Improper connection of the
equipment-grounding conductor can
result in a risk of electric shock. Check
with a qualified electrician or
serviceman if you are in doubt as to
whether the appliance is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug
provided with the appliance - if it will not
fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.

qualified electrician determine that the
ground path and wire gauge are in
accordance with local codes.
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
ground circuit.
This cooktop must be connected to a
metal permanent wiring system.
IMPORTANT:
Save Installation Instructions for
electrical inspector’s use.
240-volt cooktop
A.A three-wire or four-wire, single
phase, 240-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only
electrical supply is required on a
separate, 40-ampere circuit (note: the
RCS2012 series requires a 20 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 model/serial
rating plate located on the bottom of
the cooktop.
B.Wire sizes and connections
must conform to the requirements of
the National Electrical Code
ANSI/NFPA 70 – latest edition*, or CSA
Standards C22.1-94, Canadian
Electrical Code, Part 1 and C22.2 No.
0-M91 - latest edition** and all local
codes and ordinances.
C.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.
D.Locate the junction box to allow
as much slack as possible between the
junction box and the cooktop so that
the cooktop can be moved if
servicing is ever necessary. Do Not cut
the conduit.
E.A U.L.- or CSA-listed conduit
connector must be provided at each
end of the power supply cable (at the
cooktop and at the junction box.)
F. If the house has aluminum wiring,
follow the procedure below:
a.) Connect the aluminum wiring to the
copper wire by using special
connectors designed and
Underwriters Laboritories-listed for
joining copper to aluminum. Follow
the electrical connector
manufacturer’s recommended
procedure.
b.) Aluminum/copper connection must
conform with local codes and
industry-accepted wiring practices.
