Electrical Connection Requirements
Follow the electrical connection requirements below.
Ensure that dedicated circuit protection is prepared
as recommended and that the rangetop is grounded
properly.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Be sure that the rangetop is installed and grounded
properly by a qualified installer or service technician.
%
If an external electrical source is utilized, the
appliance, when installed, must be electrically
grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the
absence of local codes, with the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 or the Canadian Electric
Code, CSA C22.1-02.
%
This rangetop must be supplied with the proper
voltage and frequency, and connected to an
individual, properly grounded branch circuit,
protected by a circuit breaker or fuse. For the
circuit breaker or fuse required by this model, see
the rating plate to find the wattage consumption,
and refer to below to get the circuit breaker or fuse
amperage.
%
This rangetop can consume up to 4,700 W at 240
VAC. A 30 Amp circuit breaker with wire gauge #10
AWG must be used.
%
A UL-listed conduit connector must be provided at
the junction box.
WARNING
%
The electrical power must be shut off while
the electrical connections are being made.
<
Failure to do so can result in severe personal
injury, death or electrical shock.
%
New branch-circuit installations (1996 NEC),
mobile homes, recreational vehicles, or
installations where local codes prohibit
grounding through the neutral conductor
require 4-wire branch-circuit connection.
%
Improper connection of aluminum house
wiring to copper leads can result in an
electrical hazard or fire. Use only connectors
designed for joining copper to aluminum
and follow the manufacturer’s recommended
procedure closely.
%
Electrical ground is required on this appliance.
%
Make sure that the power cord is not pinched
by heavy objects.
Failure to do so can result in
serious burns or electrical shock.
%
Do not put a fuse in a neutral or ground circuit.
%
Do not connect the ground wire to plastic
plumbing lines, gas lines, or hot water pipes.
Electrical Connection
Prepare the electrical connection as follows:
1
Turn off the circuit breaker or remove fuses to
the rangetop branch circuit.
2
With the rangetop positioned directly in front of
the cabinet opening, connect the flexible conduit
to the electrical junction box. Position the
conduit so that it will lie on top of the rangetop in
a natural loop when the rangetop is installed.
3
If local codes permit connection of the frame
grounding conductor to the neutral (white)
wire, follow the instructions for a 3-wire circuit
connection.
4
If used in mobile homes, new construction,
or a recreational vehicle, or if local codes do
not permit connection of the frame grounding
conductor to the neutral (white) wire, follow the
instructions for a 4-wire circuit connection.
IMPORTANT NOTE
%
The rangetop must be hard wired (direct wired) into
an approved junction box. A plug and receptacle is
not permitted on these products.
%
DO NOT shorten the flexible conduit. The conduit
connector must be securely attached to the junction
box, and the flexible conduit must be securely
attached to the conduit connector. If the flexible
conduit will not fit in the connector, do not install
the rangetop until a connector of the proper size is
obtained.
%
You will need to purchase an appropriate conduit
connector to complete the connection of the conduit
to the junction box.
