Electrical
requirements
IMPORTANT:
Save Installation Instructions for
electrical inspector's use.
^WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
• Electrical ground is required on
this appliance.
• If cold water pipe is interrupted
by plastic, non-metallic gaskets
or other insulating materials, Do
Not use for grounding.
• Check with a qualified
electrician if you are in doubt as
to whether the appliance is
properly grounded.
• Do Not have a fuse in the neutral
or grounding circuit. A fuse in the
neutral or grounding circuit could
result in electrical shock.
Failure to follow these instructions
could result in an electrical shock
or other personal injury.
If codes permit and a separate grounding
wire is used, it is recommended that a
qualified electrician determine that the
grounding path is adequate.
A.
A three-wire, single phase, 240-volt,
60-Hz, AC only electrical supply is
required on a separate, 40-ampere
circuit, fused on both sides of the
line. (A time-delay fuse or circuit
breaker is recomimended.) The fuse
size must not exceed the circuit
rating of the appliance specified on
the serial/rating plate located on
the bottom of the cooktop.
It is the personal responsibility and
obligation of the customer to
contact a qualified electrician to
assure that the electrical Installation is
adequate and in conformance with
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA
70-latest edition*, and all local codes
and ordinances.
B
THE COOKTOP MUST BE CONNECTED
WITH COPPER WIRE ONLY.
Wire sizes and connections must
conform to the requirements of the
National Electrical Oode, ANSI/NFPA 70
— latest edition*, and all local codes
and ordinances.
Copies of the standards listed may be
obtained from:
* National Fire Protection Association
Botterymarch Park
Quincy, Massachusetts 02269
D.
The appliance should be connected
directly to the fused disconnect (or
circuit breaker) through flexible,
armored or non-metallic sheathed,
copper cable. The flexible, armored
cable extending from the appliance
should be connected directly to the
junction box. Allow two or three feet
of slack in the line so that the
appliance can be moved if servicing
is ever necessary.
A U.L.-listed conduit connector must
be provided at each end of the power
supply cable (at the appliance and at
the junction box). Wire sizes (COPPER
WIRE ONLY) and connections must
conform with the rating of the
appliance (40 amperes).
Electrical
connection
AWARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
• Electrical ground is required on
this appliance.
• This appliance must be
connected to a grounded,
permanent wiring system or a
grounding connector should be
connected to the grounding
terminal or wire iead on the
appliance.
• Disconnect power to the
junction box.
• Do Not connect to the
electricai supply until
appliance is permanently
grounded.
Failure to do so could result in
electrical shock, serious injury, or
death.
This appliance is manufactured with a
frame-connected, green or bare,
grounding wire.
Connect the appliance cable to the
junction box through the U.L.-listed
conduit connector. Complete
electrical connection according to
local codes and ordinances.
Where local codes permit
connecting the frame­
grounding conductor to the
neutral (white) junction box

1. Disconnect the power supply.
2. Connect the green (or bare)
appliance cable wire with the neutral
wire in the junction box.
3. Connect the two black wires; then
connect the two red wires. (See
Figure 1.)

2. Connect the two black wires; then
connect the two red wires. (See
Figure 2.)
3. Connect the green or bare
grounding wire from the appliance
cable to a grounded wire in the
junction box or to a grounded,
copper, cold water pipe.**
4. Do Not ground to a gas supply pipe
or hot water pipe. Do Not connect to
electrical supply until appliance is
permanently grounded.
(See Figure 3.)
•* Grouixled, cold water pipe must have
metal continuity to electrical ground and
not be Interrupted by plastic, rubber, or
other electrical Insulating connectors such
as hoses, fittings, washers or gaskets
(including water meter or pump). Any
electrical Insulating connector should be
jumped as shown with a length of Nor4
copper wire securely clamped to bare
metal at both ends.
Tighten nuts (Itmty.
Bumps on
grounding clomp
must contact pipe.
