INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
(continued)
IMPORTANT: The junction box must be
located where it will allow slack in the
conduit for ser viceability.
Install the counter unit in the cutout opening.
NOTE: If the unit is being installed in a blind
counter (one with no cabinet opening below),
wire connections must be made before putting
the unit into the cutout.
Secure the cooktop unit to the counter using the
side retainers and screws shipped with the unit.
CAUTION: The electrical power to the
counter unit supply line must be shut off
while line connections are being made.
Failure to do so could result in serious
injur y or death.
Electrical Connections
You must use a three-wire A.C. 208Y/120 Volt or
120/240 Volt, 60 Hertz electrical system. If you
connect to aluminum wiring, properly
installed connections listed for use with
aluminum and copper wiring must be used.
Use a minimum wire size of No. 12 copper wire
with a 20 Amp fuse or circuit breaker for both
208Y/120 Volt and 120/240 Volt electrical
systems.
When making the wire connections, use the
entire length of conduit provided. The conduit
must not be cut.
Connect the red and black leads from the
counter unit conduit to the corresponding leads
in the junction box.
The bare ground wire in the conduit is
connected to the counter unit frame. Connect
the other end of this wire to a properly
grounded cold water pipe or use another
approved grounding method.
A white (neutral) wire is not needed for this
unit. The white lead from the household
electrical supply can be taped and terminated in
the junction box.
Installation
Before installing the counter unit or moving
it to another location have the electrician
verify:
• That your home is provided with adequate
electrical service.
• That the addition of the counter unit will not
overload the household circuit on which it is used.
CAUTION: Always disconnect the
electrical service to the unit before
repairing or servicing the counter unit. This
can be done by disconnecting the fuse or
circuit breaker. Failure to do this could result
in a dangerous or even fatal shock. Know where
your main disconnect switch is located. If you
don’t know, have your electrician show you.
Install an approved junction box where it will be
easily accessible through the front of the cabinet
where the counter unit will be located.
Be sure this cut does not interfere with
the cabinet structure at the front.
