Important Safety Instructions
•
Be sure the cooktop is installed and grounded
properly by a qualified installer or service
technician.
•
This cooktop must be electrically grounded in
accordance with local codes or, in their absence,
with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No.
70, latest edition in the United States.
WARNING
The electrical power to the cooktop must be shut
off while line connections are being made. Failure
to do so could result in serious injury or death.
Providing the Electrical Connection
Install the junction box under the cabinet and run
120/240 or 120/208 Volt, AC wire from the main circuit
panel.
NOTE
DO NOT connect the wire to the circuit panel at
this time.
Electrical Requirements
Observe all governing codes and local
ordinances.
1
A 3-wire or 4-wire single-phase 120/240 or
120/208 Volt, 60 Hz AC-only electrical supply
is required on a separate circuit fused on both
sides of the line (time-delay fuse or circuit
breaker is recommended). DO NOT fuse neutral.
The fuse size must not exceed the circuit rating
of the appliance specified on the nameplate.
2
36" Induction cooktop can consume up to
11,100 W at 240 VAC. A 50 Amp circuit breaker
with wire guage #8 AWG must be used.
NOTE
Wire sizes and connections must conform to
the fuse size and rating of the appliance in
accordance with the National Electrical Code
ANSI/NFPA No. 70, latest edition, and local codes
and ordinances.
WARNING
Do not use an extension cord with this appliance.
Such use may result in a fire, electrical shock, or
other personal injury.
3
The appliance should be connected to the fused
disconnect (or circuit breaker) box through
flexible armored or nonmetallic sheathed cable.
The flexible armored cable extending from this
appliance should be connected directly to the
grounded junction box. The junction box should
be located as shown on page 29 with as much
slack as possible remaining in the cable between
the box and the appliance, so it can be moved if
servicing is ever necessary.
4
A suitable strain relief must be provided to attach
the flexible armored cable to the junction box.
Electrical Connection
Connect the flexible armored cable that extends from
the surface unit to the junction box using a suitable
strain relief at the point the armored cable enters the
junction box. Then make the electrical connection as
follows.
Electrical ground is required on this appliance.
This appliance is manufactured with a supply wire and
a frame-connected green or bare copper grounding
wire.
NOTE TO ELECTRICIAN
The armored cable leads supplied with the appliance
are UL-listed for connection to larger gauge
household wiring. The insulation of the leads is rated
at temperatures much higher than the temperature
rating of household wiring. The current-carrying
capacity of the conductor wire is governed by the
temperature rating of the insulation around the wire,
rather than the wire gauge alone.
WARNING
•
DO NOT
ground to a gas supply pipe. DO
NOT connect to electrical power supply until
appliance is permanently grounded. Connect
the ground wire before turning on the power.
•
This appliance is equipped with a copper
conductor flexible cable. If connection is made
to aluminum house wiring, use only special
connectors which are approved for joining
copper and aluminum wires in accordance
with the National Electrical Code and local
codes and ordinances. Improper connection
of aluminum house wiring to copper leads
can result in a short circuit or fire. Follow the
connector manufacturer’s recommended
procedure closely.
