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] KitchenAid models) or 30 A
circuit (24" [65 cm] and 30" [78.2 cm] Whirlpool models) fused
on both sides of the line.
■
The cooktop should be connected directly to the junction
box thr ough flexible, armor ed or nonmetallic sheathed,
copper cable. The flexible, armor ed 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.
