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.
• This appliance must be supplied with the proper voltage and frequency,
and connected to an individual, properly grounded, 50 amp (minimum)
branch circuit protected by a circuit breaker or time-delay fuse.
• The cooktop is rated for 240V. The model/serial/rating plate is located on
the metal cabinet underneath the cooktop.
• The cooktop is equipped with a 3-wire power cord.
• A single-phase (split-phase), 3-wire or 4-wire, AC 240 Volt 60 hertz
electrical system is required. It is the personal responsibility of the cooktop
owner to provide the correct electrical service for this cooktop.
• The cooktop should be connected directly to the junction box through
flexible, armored or nonmetallic sheathed, copper cable. The flexible,
armored cable extending from the fuse box or circuit breaker box should
be connected directly to the junction box.
• Locate the junction box 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.
• Do not cut the conduit. Use the length of conduit provided.
• A UL listed or CSA approved conduit connector must be provided at each
end of the power supply cable (at the cooktop and at the junction box). A
listed conduit connector is already provided at the cooktop.
• If the house has aluminum wiring follow the procedure below:
- Connect the aluminum wiring 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.
- If an anti-oxidant compound is added to the wiring connectors, the
compound should be UL-Listed and suitable for the application
materials, voltage and temperature.
- Connectors for joining Aluminum and Copper wiring may be larger in
size than standard connectors. It is recommended to use a double
gang, or larger, electrical box to enclose the connectors joining
Aluminum and Copper wiring.
