Before You Make the Electrical Connection:
To properly install your cooktop, you must determine the type of
electrical connection you will be using and follow the instructions
provided for it here.
■
A 4-wire or 3-wire, single phase, 120/240 volt, 60 Hz., AC
only electrical supply is required on a separate, 40-amp
circuit (30" [76.2 cm] models), 20-amp circuit (20" [50.8 cm]
models) or 60-amp circuit (43" [109.2 cm] models), fused on
both sides of the line.
■
The cooktop should be connected directly to the junction box
in the cabinet through the flexible metal conduit. The flexible,
armored cable extending from the fuse box or circuit breaker
box should be connected directly to the cooktop wiring box.
■
Locate the junction box in the cabinet to allow as much slack
as possible between the junction box and the cooktop so that
the cooktop can be moved if servicing becomes necessary in
the future.
■
A UL listed or CSA approved conduit connector must be
provided at each end of the power supply cable (at the
cooktop wiring box and at the junction box in the cabinet).
■
If the house has aluminum wiring follow the procedure below:
1. Connect a section of solid copper wire to the pigtail leads.
2. Connect the aluminum wiring to the added section of
copper wire using special connectors and/or tools
designed and UL listed for joining copper to aluminum.
Follow the electrical connector manufacturer's recommended
procedure. Aluminum/copper connection must conform with
local codes and industry accepted wiring practices.
