• It is very important to keep 3 5/16" (85 mm) distance between the cooktop and a drawer or oven
underneath it.
Installing the Cooktop
Electrical Connections
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.
• 30" induction cooktop can consume up to
7100 W at 240 VAC. A 30 Amp circuit breaker
with #10 AWG must be used.
• 36" induction cooktop can consume up to
9200 W at 240 VAC. A 40 Amp circuit breaker
with #8 AWG must be used.
WARNING
• Do not use an extension cord with this
appliance. Doing so may result in a fire, electrical
shock, or other personal injury.
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.
2
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 in Dimensions and Clearances 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.
3
A suitable strain relief must be provided to
attach the flexible armored cable to the
junction box.
