If required by the National Electrical Code (or Canadian Electrical Code), this appliance must be installed on a separate branch circuit.

WARNING
Risk of electrical shock or fire!
Frame grounded to neutral through a ground strap. Grounding through the neutral conductor is prohibited for new branch-circuit installations (1996 NEC), mobile homes, and recreational vehicles, or in an area where local codes prohibit grounding through the neutral conductor.
For installations where grounding through the neutral conductor is prohibited,

1. disconnect the link from the neutral,
2. use grounding terminal or lead to ground unit,
3. connect neutral terminal to lead branch circuit neutral in usual manner (when the appliance is to be connected by means of a cord kit, use a UL listed 4-conductor cord for this purpose).

Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician. Installation, electrical connections and grounding must comply with all applicable codes.
Before installing, turn power OFF at the service panel. Lock service panel to prevent power from being turned ON accidentally.

Related Equipment Safety

The appliance should only be used if installed by a qualified technician in accordance with these installation instructions. The manufacturer is not responsible for any damage resulting from incorrect installation.
Remove all tape and packaging before using the appliance. Destroy the packaging after unpacking the appliance.
Never allow children to play with packaging material.
Never modify or alter the construction of the appliance. For example, do not remove leveling legs, panels, wire covers or anti-tip brackets/screws.
To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over heated surface units, cabinet storage space located above the surface units should be avoided. If cabinet storage is to be provided, the risk can be reduced by installing a hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5 inches (127 mm) beyond the bottom of the cabinet.
Verify that cabinets above the cooktop are a maximum of 13″ (330 mm) deep.
When installing a cooktop over a single oven, be sure to follow both the oven’s and cooktop’s installation manuals.
Ventilation Recommendations
We strongly recommend the installation of a ventilation hood above this appliance. The hood must be installed according to instructions furnished with the hood.

CAUTION
The appliance should not be installed with a ventilation system that blows air downward toward the burners. This type of ventilation system may cause ignition and combustion problems with the gas cooking appliance resulting in personal injury or unintended operation.
