Before You Make the Electrical Connection
To properly install your cooktop, you SHOULD 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, 120/240 volt, 60-Hz., AC only electrical supply is required on a separate,
40-amp circuit fused on both sides of the line. The model/serial number rating plate is located on the metal
cabinet underneath the cooktop.
The cooktop is rated 120/240 volt. Some models have a neutral (white) wire.
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 SHOULD 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
SHOULD conform with local codes and industry accepted wiring practices.
