Installation

WARNING:

 Before beginning the installation, 

switch power off at the service panel and lock the 
service disconnecting means. When the service 
disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely 
fasten a warning tag to the service panel. 

Note: 

The complete installation instructions are 

inclosed with the Use and Care Manual. Carefully 
read and follow these instructions.

The following minimum clearance dimensions must 
be maintained.

Power Supply

The cooktop must be connected to a supply circuit 
of the proper voltage and frequency as speci

fi

 ed 

on the rating plate. Wire size must conform to the 
National Electrical Code or the prevailing local code. 
The rating plate is located on the bottom of the 
burner box.

Wiring

Built-in power leads are UL-approved for connection 
to larger gauge household wiring. The insulation of 
these leads is rated at temperatures much higher 
than the temperature rating of household wiring. 
The current-carrying capacity of a conductor is 
governed by the temperature rating of the insulation 
around the wire rather than the wire gauge alone.

WARNING: 

Improper connection of aluminum house 

wiring to these copper leads can result in a serious 
problem. Use only connectors designed for joining 
copper to aluminum and follow the manufacturer's 
recommended procedure closely.

Ceramic Glass Cooktop

If the glass is damaged, it may be replaced as a 
separate part. The touch board and electronics are 
separate parts.
