Power Sharing and Wiring
POWER SHARING
• Power sharing happens when the total amount of watts is above the rated wattage, which
is 7200W for RCIND-24 and RCIND-30 and 9300W for RCIND-36. Max watts is the first
number in the diagram on the previous page and "Boost" watts is second number.
• Power levels 3 through 9 use the max watts on the burner being used. When using three
burners at once above power level 3 — and then adding a fourth on Boost — this will
combine the total wattage being used above the rated 7200W.
• Power sharing will then activate, ensuring the total watt usage stays at 7200W; to do so, the
appliance will drop that Boost level to 9 and show the change on the display panel.
CONNECTING THE COOKTOP TO THE MAIN POWER SUPPLY
• The power supply should be connected in compliance with the relevant standard, or a single-
pole circuit breaker. The method of connection is shown below.

• If the cable is damaged or needs replacing, this should be done only by a qualified technician
using the proper tools, so as to avoid any accidents.
• If the appliance is being connected directly to the main power supply, an omnipolar circuit
breaker must be installed with a minimum gap of 0.12" between the contacts.
• The installer must ensure the correct electrical connection has been made and that it complies
with safety regulations.
• The cable must not be bent or compressed and can only replaced by a qualified technician.
NOTE
: If your home has a 4-wire system, under no circumstances should the neutral line be
connected to the ground, as it may result in injury and fire.
