MATERIALS NEEDED
FOR YOUR SAFETY
•For Personal Safety remove the house fuse or open
the circuit breaker before beginning installation.
Failure to do so could result in serious injury
or death.
•Be sure your cooktop is installed properly by a
qualified installer or service technician.
•To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by 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″.
•Make sure the cabinets and wall coverings around
the cooktop can withstand the temperatures (up to
200°F) generated by the cooktop.
•The cooktop should be easy to reach and lighted
with natural light during the day.
•Always disconnect the electrical service to the
cooktop before repairing or servicing the cooktop.
This can be done by disconnecting the fuse or
circuit breaker. Failure to do so could result in a
dangerous or fatal shock. Know where your main
disconnect switch is located. If you do not know,
have your electrician show you.
ELECTRICAL RE UIREMENTS
This appliance must be supplied with the proper
voltage and frequency, and connected to an
individual, properly grounded branch circuit,
protected by a circuit breaker or fuse, having
amperage as noted on rating plate. (Rating Plate
is located on cooktop.)
We recommend you have the electrical wiring
and hookup of your cooktop connected by a
qualified electrician. After installation, have the
electrician show you where your main cooktop
disconnect is located.
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 not local codes,
your cooktop must be wired and fused to meet the
requirements of CSA.
You must use a three-wire, single-phase A.C. 208/120
Volt or 240/120 Volt, 60 hertz electrical system. If
you connect to aluminum wiring, properly installed
connectors approved for use with aluminum wiring
must be used.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:
The bare ground wire in the conduit is
connected to the cooktop frame.
If connecting to a 4-conductor branch circuit,
installing in a mobile home or 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).
IMPORTANT: If the cooktop is
being installed into a blind counter (one
with no cabinet opening below), wire
connections must be made before putting the
cooktop into the cutout opening.

Installation Instructions
OPERATION CHECKLIST
❏Remove all items from the cooktop surface.
❏Turn on the power to the cooktop. (Refer to your
Owner’s Manual.) Verify that all surface units
operate properly.
❏Check that the circuit breaker is not tripped or the
house fuse is blown.
❏Check that conduit is securely connected to the
junction box.
❏See Owner’s Manual for troubleshooting list.
❏NOTE TO ELECTRICIAN:
The power leads supplied with this appliance
are CSA-recognized for connections to larger gauge
household wiring. The insulation of these leads
is rated at temperatures much higher than the
temperature rating of household wiring.
The current-carrying capacity of a conductor
is governed by the wire gauge and also the
temperature rating of the insulation around
the wire.
NOTE: ALUMINUM WIRING
A. WARNING:
IMPROPER CONNECTION OF ALUMINUM
HOUSE WIRING TO THE COPPER LEADS
CAN RESULT IN A SERIOUS PROBLEM.
B. Splice copper wires to aluminum wiring using
special connectors designed and CSA-approved
for joining copper to aluminum and follow the
manufacturer’s recommended connector
procedure closely.
NOTE: Wire used, location and enclosure of splices,
etc., must conform to good wiring practice and
local codes.

Instructions de Montage
❏Enlevez tous les articles de la surface de cuisson.
❏Branchez votre surface de cuisson. (Consultez
votre Manuel d’utilisation). Assurez-vous du bon
fonctionnement de toutes les unités de la surface
de cuisson.
❏Vérifiez que le disjoncteur de circuit ne soit pas
déclanché ou que la fusible de la maison n’ait pas
sauté.
❏Vérifiez que le conduit soit bien connecté à la boîte
de jonction.
❏Consultez la liste en cas de panne de Manuel
d’utilisation.
❏NOTE À L’USAGE DE L’ÉLECTRICIEN :
Les fils d’alimentation fournis avec cet appareil sont
approuvés CSA pour des connexions à un câblage
ménager de diamètre plus grand. L’isolement de ces
fils a une notation de températures beaucoup plus
élevées que la notation de température du câblage
ménager. La capacité actuelle de transport d’un
conducteur est régie par le diamètre du fil et par la
notation de température de l’isolement qui se trouve
autour du fil.
NOTE : CÂBLAGE D’ALUMINIUM
A. AVERTISSEMENT :
TOUTE MAUVAISE CONNEXION D’UN
CÂBLE MÉNAGER EN ALUMINIUM À UN FIL
DE CUIVRE PEUT OCCASIONNER UN
PROBLÈME SÉRIEUX.
B. Joignez par épissure les vils de cuivre à des fils
d’aluminium à l’aide de contacts spéciaux conçus
et approuvés CSA pour connexion du cuivre à
l’aluminium et suivez soigneusement les
procédures d’épissure recommandées par le
fabricant.
NOTE : Le fil utilisé, l’emplacement et l’isolement
des épissures, etc. doivent se conformer aux bonnes
pratiques de câblage et aux codes locaux.
