GE JP328BKBB Manuel D’Utilisation

Before installing the cooktop or moving it to another
location, have the electrician verify:
• That your home is provided with adequate electrical

service.

• That the addition of the cooktop will not overload the

household circuit on which it is used.

Install an
approved
junction box
where it will be
easily accessible
through the
front of the
cabinet where
cooktop will be
located. See the
illustration at
right for the
suggested
mounting
location.

Install the cooktop in the cutout opening.

NOTE: If the cooktop is being installed in a blind counter
(one with no cabinet opening below), wire connections
must be made before putting the cooktop into the cutout.

Secure the tub of the cooktop to a standard counter with
the wood screws shipped with the cooktop. 

Secure the tub of the cooktop to a tile counter with 
4 masonry screws. These can be purchased at any
hardware store.

The electrical power to the cooktop supply line must be
shut off while line connections are being made. Failure to
do so could result in serious injury or death.
When making the wire connections, use the entire length
of conduit provided (3 feet). The conduit must not be cut.
Connect the red and black leads from the cooktop
conduit to the corresponding leads in the junction box.
The power leads supplied with this appliance are UL
recognized for connection to larger gauge household
wiring. The insulation of the leads is rated at much higher
temperatures than the temperature rating of household
wiring. The current carrying capacity of the conductor is
governed by the wire gauge and also the temperature
rating of the insulation around the wire.

The bare ground wire in the conduit is connected to the
cooktop frame. 

When connecting to a 3 conductor branch circuit, if local
codes permit, connect the bare ground connector lead 
of the cooktop to the branch circuit neutral (gray or white
in color).

Attach the appliance grounding lead (green or bare
copper) to the residence grounding conductor (green 
or bare copper) in accordance with local codes.
