■ 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:

1. Connect a section of solid copper wire to the pigtail

leads.

2. Connect the aluminum wiring to the added section of

copper wire 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

IMPORTANT: Clamping brackets should not be used.

1. Using 2 or more people, place cooktop right side up into the

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.

clearance for installing clamping brackets at cooktop base
