Cooktops usually take around 50 amps from 220 voltage while a standard 110 supply will only provide about 15 amps, therefore, you will need a 220 line run from your breaker box to your cooktop. Unless you are use to working with high voltage electricity, it is advisable to hire a licensed electrician. If your cooktop has Red & Black HOT wires and a Green Neutral then it is 220 volts. A typical household 110 outlet has a HOT Black wire and the White is Neutral. Dealing with electrical wiring is dangerous unless you know what you are doing. Hire a pro!
