A white (neutral) is not needed for this unit. See next section for grounding instructions. It should be fused separately. CAUTION: Be sure the electric power is off from the breaker box to the junction box until the cooktop is installed and ready to operate. The junction box should be connected to a suitable ground. Do not use a GFI circuit.

Refer to the sepcifications chart and the identification label on the bottom of the burner box for kilowatt rating and rec- ommended amperage. House wiring and fusing must comply with local codes. If no local codes are applicable, wire in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-latest edition.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION WARNING: The electrical power to the unit must be shut off while line connections are being made. Failure to do so could result in serious injury or death.

When making the wire connections, use the entire length of the conduit provided (3 feet). The conduit must not be cut. Connect the red and black leads from the unit conduit to the corresonding leads in the junction box. The green ground wire in the conduit is connected to the unit frame. When connecting to a 3-conductor branch circuit, if local codes per- mit, connect the green ground connector lead of the unit to the branch circuit neutral (gray or white in color).

1. The cooktop may be installed directly to existing base cabinets. 2. The cooktop CANNOT be installed directly adjacent to sidewalls, tall cabinets, tall appliances, or other side vertical

surfaces above 36 (91.4 cm) high. There must be a minimum of 6 (15.2 cm) side clearance from the cooktop to such combustible surfaces above the 36 (91.4 cm).

3. Within the 6 (15.2 cm) side clearance to combustible vertical surfaces above 36 (91.4 cm), the maximum wall cabi- net depth must be 13 (33.0 cm) and wall cabinets within this 6 (15.2 cm) side clearance must be 18 (45.7 cm) above the 36 (91.4 cm) high countertop.

4. Wall cabinet above the cooktop must be a minimum of 36 (91.4 cm) above the countertop for a full width of the cooktop. This minimum height requirement does not apply if a rangehood is installed over the cooking surface.

NOTE: Refer to Installation of Hold Down Brackets on pages 9 and 13 for minimum clearances under counter.

PERFORMANCE CHECKLIST A qualified installer should carry out the following checks: 1. Check top surface elements - glow red when turned on. 2. Check hot surface indicator lights - glow red when corresponding element is hot.

Any adjustments necessary that are a result of the installer not following instructions will be the responsibility of the in- staller, dealer of the end user of this product.

FINAL PREPARATION 1. Some stainless steel parts may have a plastic protective wrap which must be peeled off. 2. All stainless steel body parts should be wiped with hot, soapy water and with a liquid cleaner designed for this mate-

rial. If buildup occurs, do not use steel wool, abrasive cloths, cleaners, or powders! If it is necessary to scrape stain- less steel to remove encrusted materials, soak with hot, wet cloths to loosen the material, then use a wood or nylon scraper. Do not use a metal knife, spatula, or any other metal tool to scrape stainless steel! Scratches are almost im- possible to remo
