Before You Make the Electrical Connection:
To properly install your cooktop, you must determine the type of
electrical connection you will be using and follow the instructions
provided for it here.
A 4-wire or 3-wire, single phase, 240 V, 60 Hz, AC only electrical
supply is required on a separate, 50 A circuit (36" [92.2 cm]
models), 40 A circuit (30" [78.2 cm] KitchenAid models) or 30 A
circuit (24" [65 cm] and 30" [78.2 cm] Whirlpool models) fused
on both sides of the line.
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.
1. Decide on the final location for the cooktop.
NOTE: Countertop must be 1
thick.
NOTE: Cooktop Bracket Adhesive Kit Part Number W11279478
is required for installing the cooktop into a marble countertop.
See the "Assistance or Service" section of the Use and Care
Guide for information on ordering.
To Install Brackets into Marble Countertop:
1. Clean the brackets and cooktop cutout of any dust and
debris.
2. Measure the center line of the vertical sides of the cooktop
cutout.
