Electrical requirements

Electrical shock hazard

• Have the electrical connection performed by authorized technical personnel.
• The frame is grounded by connecting the grounding lead to the neutral lead. If local codes do not permit grounding through the neutral lead, open the connection and use the grounding lead to ground the unit in accordance with local codes. Connect the neutral lead to the branch-circuit neutral conductor in the usual manner.
• Do not use an adapter.
• Do not use an extension cord.
• Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure whether the appliance is grounded.
• Turn the power supply off before connecting the wires.
• Ground the appliance electrically.
• Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.
• Improperly connecting the appliance's grounding conductor can result in electrical shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service technician if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the power supply cord. If it does not fit in the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
• Disconnect the main power supply.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN DEATH, FIRE OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK.

Make sure that the power line rating matches the specifications indicated on the ID plate. The ID plates are visibly located under the appliance.

These ID plates must never be removed.

• If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrician check the suitability of the ground path.
• Wire size and connections must conform to the requirements of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 ELECTRICAL CODE (*) – latest edition or CSA Standard C22.1-94, Canadian Electrical code, Part 1 (**) and CSA C22.2 No. O-91 or latest edition and all local codes and ordinances for the kilowatt rating of the appliance.

Electrical connection

Electrical shock hazard

• Disconnect power to the junction box before connecting.
• Electrically ground the appliance using the green or green-yellow wire.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN DEATH, FIRE OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK.

This appliance is manufactured with a green or green-yellow ground wire connected to the appliance chassis.
To prepare the connection between the appliance and the junction box:

• Disconnect the power supply to the junction box.
• Feed the flexible cable conduit from the appliance through the opening of the cabinet.
• Remove the junction box cover, if present.
• Install a UL-listed or CSA-approved conduit connector to the junction box.
• Route the flexible cable conduit from the appliance to the junction box through a UL-listed or CSA-approved conduit connector.
• Tighten the screws on the conduit connector.

Any local codes or ordinances should be given priority over these instructions.

The frame is grounded by connecting the grounding wire to the neutral wire. If the new branch circuit installation (1996 NEC) is used or if local codes do not permit grounding through the neutral wire, open the connection and use the grounding wire to ground the unit in compliance with local codes. Connect the neutral wire to the branch circuit's neutral conductor in the usual manner:

• Disconnect the ground from the neutral at the free end of the conduit.
• Use the grounding terminal or lead to ground the unit.
• Connect the neutral terminal or wire to the branch circuit neutral in the usual manner.

U.S. Installation only / 3-wire branch circuit

See diagram. Where local codes allow the connection of the ground wire from the appliance to the power supply cable's neutral wire (white wire):

• The ground wire must be connected first;
• If local codes permit, connect the green or yellow-green ground wire from the appliance and the white wire from the appliance to the power supply's neutral wire (white wire).
• Connect the red and black leads from the appliance to the matching color wires in the junction box using UL/CSAlisted wire connectors.
• Connect to copper wire, or, if the connection is made to aluminum house wiring, use UL-listed or CSA-approved connectors approved for joining aluminum and copper wiring.

NOTE: Both leads coming out of the appliance must be connected according to the diagrams shown in the figures.

Fixed connection

Fit the power line with a multi-pole circuit breaker in compliance with installation regulations.
The circuit breaker should be located near the appliance and in an easily reachable position.

Cutting out the countertop

The following operation requires building and/or carpentry work which must be carried out by a competent technician.

The appliance may be installed on various materials such as masonry, metal, solid wood and wood faced with plastic laminates, provided they are heat resistant (>90°C - 194°F).

Electrical shock hazard

• 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.

Cut an opening in the countertop of the indicated dimensions.

For proper installation, refer to the rear mechanical spacers. The rear mechanical spacers should never be removed. The possible removal is considered a tampering with the device.

MINIMUM DISTANCE

Seal the cooktop

Before assembly, to prevent leakage of liquid between the frame of the cooktop and the countertop, place the provided adhesive seal along the entire perimeter of the cooktop.

Do not attach the cooktop with silicone. It will prevent you from removing the cooktop when necessary without damage to it.

Fastening clips

To ensure the attachment and optimal centering, you should use the supplied clips:

1. Insert the clips and fix them in place horizontally into the groove with light pressure.
   
2. Rotate them upwards to fix them in place permanently.
   

Fixing brackets

• Screw the fixing brackets into the holes on the lower sides of the casing to properly secure the cooktop to the structure.
  

Fixing the cooktop too tightly may strain the glass and cause it to break.

Recess

Over an undercounter, built-in oven

The distance between the cooktop and the kitchen cupboards or built-in appliances must ensure adequate ventilation and sufficient air exhaust.
If installed above an oven, space must be left between the bottom of the cooktop and the part of the product installed underneath.

If Installed Above An Oven, THE OVEN MUST BE EQUIPPED WITH A COOLING FAN.

In case of doubt install a doublelayer, wooden as described in the next section

On a hollow compartment or drawer

If there are other furniture parts (side panels, drawers, etc.), dishwashers or refrigerators, under the cooktop, a double-layer, wooden base must be installed at a minimum distance of 51 mm (2") from the underside of the cooktop to prevent accidental contact. The double-layer base must be removed using only the appropriate tools.

with opening on the base:

with opening on the back:

Failure to install the double-layer, wooden base exposes the user to possible accidental contact with sharp or hot surfaces.
