WARNING:
Before you plug in an electrical cord
or turn on power supply, make sure all controls
are in the OFF position.
If required by the National Electrical Code (or
Canadian Electrical Code), this appliance must be
installed on a separate branch circuit.
,
WARNING: Risk of electrical shock or fire:
Frame grounded to neutral through a ground
strap. Grounding through the neutral conductor
is prohibited for new branch-circuit installations
(1996 NEC), mobile homes, and recreational
vehicles, or in an area where local codes
prohibit grounding through the neutral
conductor.
For installations where grounding through the
neutral conductor is prohibited,
a) disconnect the link from the neutral,
b) use grounding terminal or lead to ground
unit,
c) connect neutral terminal to lead branch
circuit neutral in usual manner (when the
appliance is to be connected by means of a
cord kit, use a UL listed 4-conductor cord
for this purpose).
Be sure your appliance is properly installed and
grounded by a qualified technician. Installation,
electrical connections and grounding must comply
with all applicable codes.
Before installing, turn power OFF at the service panel.
Lock service panel to prevent power from being
turned ON accidentally.
Installer – show the owner the location of the circuit
breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy reference.
Related Equipment Safety
The appliance is only guaranteed safe to use if
installed by a specialist in accordance with these
installation instructions. The installer is liable for any
damage resulting from incorrect installation.
Remove all tape and packaging before using the
appliance. Destroy the packaging after unpacking the
appliance. Never allow children to play with packaging
material.
Never modify or alter the construction of the
appliance. For example, do not remove leveling legs,
panels, wire covers or anti-tip brackets/screws.
To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over
heated surface units, cabinet storage space located
above the surface units should be avoided. If cabinet
storage is to be provided, the risk can be reduced by
installing a hood that projects horizontally a minimum
of 5 inches (127 mm) beyond the bottom of the
cabinet.
Verify that cabinets above the cooktop are a maximum
of 13" (330 mm) deep.
When installing a cooktop over a single oven, be sure
to follow both the oven's and cooktop's installation
manuals.
