Whirlpool G7CE3635X Installationsanweisungen

■

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. 

Decide on the final location for the cooktop. Avoid drilling into or 
severing existing wiring during installation.

1. Using 2 or more people, place the cooktop upside down on a 

covered surface using the foam end posts from the 
packaging. Make sure that the knobs are not resting on the 
foam.

2. Remove foam strip roll from the package containing literature. 

The roll contains four ¼" (0.64 cm) strips of foam. Remove 
one strip at a time and apply foam strip adhesive-side down 
around bottom of the cooktop glass.

NOTE: The foam strip helps avoid damage to the underside 
of the cooktop glass from debris and helps the cooktop sit 
flat on uneven counters. 

IMPORTANT: Clamping brackets should not be used.

1. Using 2 or more people, place cooktop right side up into the 

cutout.

NOTE: Make sure that the front edge of the cooktop is 
parallel to the front edge of the countertop. If repositioning is 
needed, lift entire cooktop up from cutout to avoid scratching 
the countertop.

1. Determine whether your cabinet construction provides 

clearance for installing clamping brackets at cooktop base 
ends.

2. The clamping brackets can be installed before or after the 

cooktop is placed into the cutout. Complete the following 
steps for the option you choose.
