NOTES: After you make the countertop cutout, some
installations may require notching down the base cabinet side
walls to clear the cooktop base. To avoid this modification, use
a base cabinet with sidewalls wider than the cutout.
If the cabinet has a drawer, a 5¹⁄
the countertop to the top of the drawer (or other obstruction) in
the base cabinet is required.
Electrical Requirements
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Disconnect power before servicing.
Use 8 gauge copper wire.
Electrically ground cooktop.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is
recommended that a qualified electrical installer determine
that the ground path and wire gauge are in accordance with
local codes.
Check with a qualified electrical installer if you are not sure the
cooktop is properly grounded.
It is not recommended to have a fuse in the neutral or ground
circuit.
Make sure that the electrical connection and wire size
are adequate and in conformance with the CSA Standards
C22.1-94, Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1 and C22.2 No.
O-M91-latest edition, and all local codes and ordinances.
A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from:

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 volt, 60 Hz., AC only
■
electrical supply is required on a separate circuit, 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.
