Instructions For Installer:

• Save installation instructions for local inspector’s use.
• Leave installation instructions with the appliance.
• Refer to “Installer Installation Suggestions” on page 3 before cutting.
• Dimensions shown in both inches and centimeters.
• Consult ducting guide for proper instruction.
• Dimensions “A” & “B” – tolerances +/-1/16″ or +/-.16 cm.
• Dimension “J” – provide 2″ min. (5.08 cm) cabinet clearance to motor for cooling purpose.
• NOTE : Where possible, 6″ (15.24 cm) is recommended for motor blower service.
• Dimension “K” – provide 6-1/4″ (15.88 cm) required for removal of (supplied) grease container (s). Installed dimension for (supplied) grease container(s) is 5-1/2″ (13.97 cm).
• Side Clearance – grills installed near a side wall must allow a minimum clearance of 6″ (15.24 cm) between cooktop and sidewall for maximum performance. Minimum clearance of 1″ (2.54 cm) is required to sidewalls and 3/4″ (1.905 cm) to rear wall.
• Electrical Hookup – the unit must be properly circuit protected and wired according to local electrical codes. See electrical wiring information on page 3. Unit power requirements are located on the serial plate.

Installing Cabinetry Over Your Jenn-Air Grill

• A = 30″ (76.2 cm) minimum clearance between the top of the cooking platform and the bottom of an unprotected wood or metal cabinet.
• A = 24″ (60.96 cm) minimum when bottom of wood or metal cabinet is protected by not less than 1/4″ (0.635 cm). FLAME RETARDANT millboard covered with no less than no. 28 MSG sheet steel, 0.015″ (0.038 cm) stainless steel, 0.024″ (0.061 cm) aluminum or copper.
• 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 range hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5 inches beyond the bottom of the cabinets.

Installer Installation Suggestions

1. Chamfer all exposed edges of decorative laminate to prevent damage from chipping.
2. Radius corners of cutout and file to insure smooth edges and prevent corner cracking.
3. Rough edges, inside corners which have not been rounded and forced fits can contribute to cracking of the countertop laminate.
4. Countertop must be supported within 3″ (7.62 cm) of cutout.

CAUTION: Warranty is void on Jenn-Air equipment installed other than as recommended by manufacturer. Recommended wall caps and transitions must be utilized for proper operation and installation.

Electrical Wiring Information
The neutral of this unit is grounded to the frame through the green grounding wire. If used on new branch-circuit installations (1996 NEC), mobile homes, recreational vehicles, or in an area where local codes prohibit grounding through the neutral conductor, untwist or disconnect the green wire and connect the green wire to ground in accordance with local code. Connect the white neutral to the service neutral. Connect all wires to the branch circuit with approved connectors. Use copper or aluminum wire. If aluminum wire is used, use connectors recognized for joining aluminum to copper.

Proper Electrical Supply
You must provide an adequate electrical supply system as required for your cooktop. All wire connections must be in accordance with local codes and properly insulated. Check with local utility for governing electrical codes and ordinances. In the absence of local electrical codes, the National Electrical Code, NFPA No. 70, governing electric cooktop installations must be followed. A copy of the National Electrical Code, NFPA No. 70, can be obtained by writing to:

National Fire Protection Association
Batterymarch Park
Quincy, Massachusetts 02269

A three-wire, single phase, A.C. 120/240 volt 60 cycle electrical system (properly circuit protected to meet Local Codes of NFPA No. 70) must be provided. Unit must be properly grounded in accordance with local wiring code. The chart below recommends the minimum circuit protector and wire size if the appliance is the only unit on the circuit. If smaller sizes of wire are used, the unit efficiency will be reduced and a fire hazard may be created. it is advisable that the electrical wiring and hookup be accomplished by a competent electrician.

Preparing Unit For Assembly In Countertop

1. Unpack Unit.
2. Provide cutout for countertop and duct openings as required per page 1.
3. Place unit in the cutout, and slide unit all the way to the left hand side of cutout. (Figure 1).
4. HOLDING DOWN UNIT TO COUNTERTOP: Use the hold down straps, provided in the hardware package, to secure unit to the countertop. These straps may be positioned on the left, front, and back sides of the unit. (See figure 1A). To install, pre-thread the bolt into the strap about 2 inches. With the unit positioned in the cutout as desired, reach through the cabinet door opening and push up along the wall of the burner box flange. If it doesn’t hook, pull strap down, move it left or right about an inch and push up again. Once strap is hooked, thread bolt into strap until it meets resistance against bottom of countertop. Then tighten slowly until unit top bottoms against countertop.
5. Connect outlet of blower housing to vent duct. Loosen cap nuts inside plenum to rotate blower housing to desired position.
6. Remove attachment screw and cover from junction box. Connect BX Cable power supply to knockout in side of box. Make wire connections, push wires into box. Re-attach cover. Consult focal codes for proper power hookup. (Figure 2).
7. Test to insure electronic surface control operates all elements properly.
