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 3-wire or 4-wire, single phase, 120/240 volt, 60-Hz., AC only electrical supply is required on a separate, 40-amp circuit fused on both sides of the line. The model/serial number rating plate is located on the metal cabinet underneath the cooktop. See the following illustration.

• Illustration shows a small rectangular plate labeled 'A' located on the underside of the cooktop, indicating the location of the model/serial number plate.

• The cooktop is rated 120/240 volt. Most models have a neutral (white) wire. Model W5CE3024 does not have a neutral (white) wire.
• 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. Use the length of conduit provided.
• 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:
  1. Connect a section of solid copper wire to the pigtail leads.
  2. Connect the aluminum wiring to the added section of copper wire 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.

Cabinet Opening Dimensions

IMPORTANT: If installing a range hood or microwave hood combination above the cooktop, follow the range hood or microwave hood combination installation instructions for dimensional clearances above the cooktop surface.

Diagram illustrating cabinet opening dimensions for built-in cooktops. It shows a countertop with a cutout for the cooktop and the cabinet below. Various dimensions are labeled with letters A through L:

• A: Overall width of the cooktop cutout. (30" or 36" models)
• B: Indicates the combustible area above the countertop, shown as a dashed box.
• C: Minimum vertical clearance between the top of the cooktop platform and the bottom of the cabinet above. Specific requirements are given based on cabinet covering materials.
• D: Recommended upper cabinet depth.
• E: A small clearance dimension.
• F: A horizontal clearance dimension, with tolerance.
• G: Minimum vertical clearance from the upper cabinet to the countertop.
• H: Minimum distance from the countertop to the junction box or outlet.
• I: Maximum distance from the right side of the cabinet to the junction box or outlet.
• J: Overall width of the cabinet cutout, with different measurements for 30-inch and 36-inch models, including tolerances.
• K: Minimum horizontal clearance from the sides of the cooktop to any combustible surface.
• L: Minimum clearance between the back wall and the countertop.

NOTES:

• After making the countertop cutout, some installations may require notching down the base cabinet side walls to clear the cooktop base. To avoid this modification, use a base cabinet with sidewalls wider than the cutout.
• If cabinet has a drawer, a 5½" (14.0 cm) depth clearance from the top of the countertop to the top of the drawer (or other obstruction) in base cabinet is required.
