WARNING
If connecting to a 4-wire power supply
cable electrical system, the appliance frame
connected ground wire MUST NOT be connected to
the neutral wire of the 4-wire electrical system.
NOTE TO ELECTRICIAN:
The armored cable leads
supplied with the appliance are CSA-recognized for
connection to larger gauge household wiring. The
insulation of the leads is rated at temperatures much
higher than temperature rating of household wiring. The
current carrying capacity of the conductor is governed by
the temperature rating of the insulation around the wire,
rather than the wire gauge alone.
Cooktop Installation
1. Visually inspect the cooktop for damage.
2. If you are installing the optional Stainless Steel
backsplash, first fix it at the back of the cooktop using
the screws supplied with the Kit and follow the
instructions attached.
3. Set the cooktop into the countertop cutout.
NOTE:
Do not use caulking compound; cooktop should
be removable for service when needed.
