SAMSUNG Electric Cooktop Instruction Manual

Important Safety Information

For your safety

For Personal Safety, remove house fuse or open 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 due to reaching over heated surface elements, cabinet storage located above the surface units should be avoided. If cabinet storage space is necessary, 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 194 °F) generated by the cooktop.
The cooktop should be easy to reach and illuminated by 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 this 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.

Installation Requirements

For your Safety
This appliance must be supplied with the proper voltage and frequency, and connected to an individual, properly grounded branch circuit. 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. The cooktop conduit wiring is approved for copper wire connection only, and if you have aluminum house wiring, you must use special UL approved connectors for joining copper to aluminum.
WARNING
If the information in this manual is not followed exactly, a fire or electrical shock may result causing property damage, personal injury, or death.
WARNING
Before beginning the installation, switch the power off at the service panel and lock the service disconnecting switch to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the service disconnecting switch cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.
WARNING
This appliance must be properly grounded.

NOTE If cabinet has a drawer, a minimum 127 mm (5″) depth clearance from the bottom of cooktop to top of the drawer (or other obstruction) in base cabinet is required.
IMPORTANT: The junction box must be located where it will allow considerable slack in the conduit for serviceability.

Electrical requirements

WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Disconnect power before servicing. Use 8 gauge solid copper wire. Electrically ground cooktop. Label Refer to the label on the bottom of the cooktop for power requirements and model information. 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 the wire gauge are in accordance with local codes. Check with a qualified electrical installer if you are not sure the cooktop is properly grounded.

Refer to the label on the bottom of the cooktop for power requirements and model information.

This cooktop must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system. Be sure that the electrical connection and wire size are adequate and in conformance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-latest edition or 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:

National Fire Protection Association 1 Batterymarch Park Quincy,
MA 02169-7471 CSA International 8501 East Pleasant Valley Road Cleveland, OH 44131-5575

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, 208 or 240 volt AC, 60-Hz, power supply is
required on a dedicated double pole circuit breaker of at least 30 amps.
NOTE
The cooktop is rated 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 is necessary 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 must conform with local codes and industry accepted wiring practices.
