■
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.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Prepare Cooktop for Installation
Decide on the final location for the cooktop. Avoid drilling into or
severing existing wiring during installation.
1. Using 2 or more people, place the cooktop upside down
on a covered surface using the foam end posts from the
packaging. Make sure that the knobs are not resting on the
foam.
2. Remove foam strip roll from the package containing
literature. The roll contains four ¼" (0.64 cm) strips of foam.
Remove one strip at a time and apply foam strip adhesive-
side down around bottom of the cooktop glass.
NOTE: The foam strip helps avoid damage to the underside
of the cooktop glass from debris and helps the cooktop sit
flat on uneven counters.
Install Cooktop
Style 1: Cooktop over undercounter built-in oven
IMPORTANT:
Clamping brackets should not be used.
1. Using 2 or more people, place cooktop right side up into
the cutout.
NOTE: Make sure that the front edge of the cooktop is
parallel to the front edge of the countertop. If repositioning
is needed, lift entire cooktop up from cutout to avoid
scratching the countertop.
Style 2: Cooktop over cabinets
1.
Determine whether your cabinet construction provides
clearance for installing clamping brackets at cooktop
base ends.
24" (60.9 cm), 30" (76.2 cm) and 36" (91.4 cm) traditional
models
2. The clamping brackets can be installed before or after the
