IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR YOUR SAFETY
WARNING
installation, switch power off at the service
panel and lock the service disconnecting means
to prevent power from being switched on
accidentally. When the service disconnecting
means cannot be locked, securely fasten a
prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the
service panel.
To eliminate the risk of burns or fire due to
reaching over heated surface elements, cabinet
storage located above the surface units should
be avoided. If cabinet storage space is to be
provided, the risk can be reduced by installing a
range hood that projects horizontally a minimum
of 5" beyond the bottom of the cabinets. Cabinet
installation above the cooktop may be no deeper
than 13".

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:
The bare ground wire in the conduit is
connected to the cooktop frame. Effective
January 1, 1996, the National Electrical Code
will not permit grounding through neutral. If
used in new construction after January 1, 1996
or in a mobile home, recreational vehicle or if
local codes do not permit grounding through
the neutral white lead, attach the appliance
grounding lead (green or copper) to the
residence grounding conductor (green or bare
copper) in accordance with local codes. When
connecting to a 3 conductor branch circuit, if
local codes permit, connect the bare ground
connector lead of the cooktop to the branch
circuit neutral (gray or white in color).
Check with your local utilities for electrical codes
which apply in your area. Failure to wire your
cooktop according to governing codes could
result in a hazardous condition. If there are no
local codes, your cooktop must be wired and
fused to meet the requirements of the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70 – latest edition,
available from the National Fire Protection
Association.
You can find them on a nameplate label under
the cooktop.
