The flexible armoured cable extending from this appliance should be connected directly to the grounded junction box. The junction box should be located as shown in Figure 2 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.
  4. A suitable strain relief must be provided to attach the flexible armoured cable to the junction box.

Unpacking Instructions

  1. Unpack and visually inspect the cooktop.
  2. Be sure the bottle of cleaner conditioner packed in the literature bag is left where the user can find it easily. It is important that the ceramic-glass cooktop be pre-treated before use. See Cooktop Cleaning and Maintenance section in the Use and Care Guide.

Electrical Connection

Connect the flexible armoured cable that extends from the surface unit to the junction box using a suitable strain relief at the point the armoured cable enters the junction box. Then make the electrical connection as follows.

Electrical ground is required on this appliance.

WARNING This appliance is equipped with a copper conductor flexible cable. If connection is made to aluminum house wiring, use only special connectors which are approved for joining copper and aluminum wires in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. Improper connection of aluminum house wiring to copper leads can result in a short circuit or fire. Follow the connector manufacturer recommended procedure closely.

This appliance is manufactured with a supply wire and a frame connected green or bare copper grounding wire.

WARNING DO NOT ground to a gas supply pipe. DO NOT connect to electrical power supply until appliance is permanently grounded. Connect the ground wire before turning on the power.

If the cable from appliance is equipped with 3 wires:

Where local codes permit connecting the appliance-grounding conductor to the neutral (white) wire (see figure 3):

  1. Disconnect the power supply.
  2. In the circuit breaker, fuse box or junction box, connect appliance and power supply cable wires as shown in figure 3.

WARNING You may not ground the cooktop through the neutral (white) wire if cooktop is used in a new branch circuit installation (1996 NEC), mobile home, recreational vehicle, or where local codes do not permit grounding to the neutral (white) wire.

When grounding to the neutral (white) wire is prohibited, you must use a 4-wire power supply cable. See Figure 4. Failure to heed this warning may result in electrocution or other serious personal injury.

If cooktop is used in a new branch circuit installation (1996 NEC), mobile home, recreational vehicle, or where local codes DO NOT permit grounding to the neutral (white) wire (see figure 4):

  1. Disconnect the power supply.
  2. In the circuit breaker, fuse box or junction box, connect appliance and power supply cable wires as shown in figure 4.

WARNING If connecting to a 4-wire power supply cable electrical system, the appliance frame connected ground wire MUST NOT be connected to the neutral wire of the 4-wire electrical system.

NOTE TO ELECTRICIAN: The armoured cable leads supplied with the appliance are UL-listed for connection to larger gauge household wiring. The insulation of the leads is rated at temperatures much higher than temperature rating of household wiring. The current carrying capacity of the conductor wire is governed by the temperature rating of the insulation around the wire, rather than the wire gauge alone.

If the cable from appliance is equipped with 4 wires:

Where local codes permit connecting the appliance-grounding conductor (wire) to the neutral (white) wire (see figure 5):

  1. Disconnect the power supply.
  2. In the circuit breaker, fuse box or junction box, connect appliance and power supply cable wires as shown in figure 5.

The insulation of the leads is rated at temperatures much higher than temperature rating of household wiring. The current carrying capacity of the conductor is governed by the temperature rating of the insulation around the wire, rather than the wire gauge alone.

Cooktop Installation

  1.  Visually inspect the cooktop for damage. Also make sure all cooktop screws are tight (see Figure 7).

  2. Install the retainer brackets. See Figure 8. The retainer brackets MUST be installed, to meet local codes or, in their absence, with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70–latest edition (see Figure 8).

  3. Set the cooktop into the countertop cut-out.


    During the installation with a wide cut-out make sure the cooktop is cantered. A and B gap should have the same dimensions. The elongated holes on the bottom of the installation brackets are made to fit every cut-out
    WARNING Do not remove the spring spacers on the edges of the cooktop. These spacers center the cooktop in the space provided. The cooktop must be cantered to prevent excess heat build-up that may result in heat damage or fire (see Figure 10).

  4. Fix the cooktop to the bracket using the screws supplied (see Figure 10).
