Jenn-Air W10436037B User Manual

If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is 
recommended that a qualified electrical installer determine that 
the ground path and wire gauge are in accordance with local 
codes.

Check with a qualified electrical installer if you are not sure the 
cooktop is properly grounded.

Make sure that the electrical connection and wire size are 
adequate and in conformance with the National Electrical Code, 
ANSI/NFPA 70-latest edition or CSA Standards C22.1-94, 
Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1 and C22.2 No. O-M91-latest 
edition, and all local codes and ordinances.

A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from:

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, 120/240 volt, 60 Hz., AC 
only electrical supply on a separate, 40-amp circuit breaker is 
required for both 30" (76.2 cm) and 36" (91.4 cm) models. If a 
fused system is used, fuse both sides of the line. 

■

The cooktop should be connected directly to the junction box 
through the flexible metal conduit. 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.

■

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). 

■

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.

1. Open product as instructed on product packaging.

2. Remove shipping materials and tape from cooktop.

3. Remove vent grille.

4. Remove the removable grease filter by lifting the filter out.
