Electrical Requirements

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 3-wire or 4-wire, single phase, 240 volt, 60 Hz, AC only
■
electrical supply is required on a separate, 20 AMP, 2-pole
breaker, 240/208 volt, 50/60 Hz AC supply circuit fused on
both sides of the line. The model/serial/rating plate is located
on the metal cabinet underneath the cooktop. See the
following illustration.
NOTE: A separate 20 amp circuit fused on both sides of the
line can be used for 20 amp, 2-pole breaker, 240/208 volt,
50/60 Hz AC supply.
The cooktop is rated 240/208 volts. This model has a neutral
■
wire.
The cooktop should be connected directly to the junction
■
box through flexible, conduit shielded wire. No alternative is
permissible. 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 the aluminum wiring using special connectors
2. Follow the electrical connector manufacturer's
