Location Requirements

Make sure you have everything needed for correct installation. It

is the responsibility of the installer to comply with the installation

clearances specified in these instructions.

IMPORTANT : Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

When installing cooktop, use minimum dimensions given.

• To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over the heated surface units, cabinet storage space located abovethe 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″ (12.7 cm) beyond the bottom of the cabinets.
• It is the installer’s responsibility to comply with installation clearances specified on the model/serial rating plate. The model/serial rating plate is located on the underside of the cooktop burner box.

24″ (65 cm) cooktop model/serial rating plate location

30″ (78.2 cm) cooktop model/serial rating plate location

36″ (92.2 cm) cooktop model/serial rating plate location

• Check the cooktop base for an approved installation label. Verify approved oven model numbers that can be installed with your cooktop model number. If you do not find this label, your cooktop may not be approved for use over an undercounter built-in oven. Contact your dealer to confirm that your cooktop is approved.

• Ovens approved for this type of installation will have an approval label located on the top of the oven. If you do not find this label, contact your dealer to confirm that your oven is approved. Refer to oven manufacturer’s Installation Instructions for approval for built-in undercounter use and proper cutout dimensions.

• When installing cooktop over an undercounter built-in oven, do not fasten cooktop to countertop with clamps or seal cooktop to countertop. This will make the cooktop easier to remove if future servicing becomes necessary.

• Use the countertop opening dimensions that are given with these Installation Instructions. Given dimensions are minimum clearances and provide 0″ (0 cm) clearance.

• Grounded electrical supply is required. See “Electrical Requirements” section

Electrical Requirements

WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard Disconnect power before servicing. Use 8 gauge copper wire. Electrically ground cooktop. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

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 4-wire or 3-wire, single phase, 240 V, 60 Hz, AC only electrical supply is required on a separate, 50 A circuit
  (36″ [92.2 cm] models), 40 A circuit (30″ [78.2 cm] models) or 30 A circuit (24″ [65 cm] models) fused on both sides of the line.

• 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. The length of conduit provided is for serviceability of the cooktop.

• A UL listed or CSA approved conduit connector must 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:
  Connect the aluminum wiring 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.

Prepare Location

1. Decide on the final location for the cooktop.
   NOTE : Countertop must be 13∕16″ (3.0 cm) to 2″ (5.1 cm) thick.

2. If necessary, make cutout in countertop before installing cooktop. See “Location Requirements” section for more information.

3. Clean cutout of any remaining dust and debris.

Install Brackets

NOTE : Cooktop Bracket Adhesive Kit Part Number W11279478 is required for installing the cooktop into a marble countertop. See the “Assistance or Service” section of the Use and Care Guide for information on ordering.

To Install Brackets into Marble Countertop:

1. Clean the brackets and cooktop cutout of any dust and debris.

2. Measure the center line of the vertical sides of the cooktop cutout.

3. Apply the adhesive provided in the kit to the back side of the brackets

4. Position brackets in the center of the vertical centerline and align the upper edge of the brackets so that they are flush with the countertop

5. Push the brackets firmly onto each side of the cooktop cutout and wait 1 hour for adhesive to dry.

To Install Brackets into Wood Countertop

1. Measure the center line of the vertical sides of the cooktop cutout.
2. Position brackets in the center of the vertical centerline and align the upper edge of the brackets so that they are flush with the countertop.
3. Attach the brackets in the cutout with the screws provided

Install Cooktop

WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard Use two or more people to move and install cooktop. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

1. Using 2 or more people, place the cooktop upside down on a covered surface using the foam end posts from the packaging.

2. OPTIONAL – Remove the foam roll from the package containing literature. Apply foam adhesive-side down around the bottom of the cooktop glass.
   NOTE : The foam helps avoid damage to the underside of the cooktop glass from debris and helps the cooktop sit flat on uneven counters.

3. Lower the cooktop into the cutout with the back end of the cooktop angled down.

4. Make sure that the clips on each side of the cooktop line up with the brackets in the cutout.

5. Push down on cooktop to snap the cooktop clips onto the brackets installed in the cutout.

6. On the underside of the cooktop, loosen only the 6 screws for 24″ (65 cm) models and 7 screws for 30″ (78.2 cm) and 36″ (92.2 cm) models on the slider indicated in the image below.

7. Push the duct slider toward the side of the cabinet until the slider and cabinet touch.

8. Tighten the screws on the slider.

Make Electrical Connection

WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard Disconnect power before servicing. Use 8 gauge copper wire. Electrically ground cooktop. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

This cooktop is manufactured with a frame-connected, green (or bare) ground wire.

1. Disconnect power.
2. Remove junction box cover if it is present.
3. Connect the flexible cable conduit from the cooktop to the junction box using a UL listed or CSA approved conduit connector.
4. Tighten screws on conduit connector if present.
5. See “Electrical Connection Options Chart” to complete installation for your type of electrical connection
