Effective January 1, 1996, the National
Electrical Code requires that new, but not
existing, construction utilize a four-conductor
connection to an electric range. When installing
an electric range in new construction, follow the
instructions in NEW CONSTRUCTION AND FOUR-
CONDUCTOR BRANCH CIRCUIT CONNECTION.
You must use a three-wire, single-phase
AC 208Y/120 Volt or 240/120 Volt, 60 Hertz
electrical system with separate ground.
If you connect to aluminum wiring, properly
installed connectors approved for use with
aluminum wiring must be used.
New construction and four-conductor branch
circuit connection
•When installing in new construction, or
•When installing in a mobile home, or
•When local codes do not permit grounding
through neutral:
4-Conductor Branch Circuit
When connecting the cooktop to a 4-conductor
circuit, connect the red leads of the cooktop and
the power supply to the branch circuit red lead;
connect the black leads to each other. Connect
the cooktop white lead to the power supply and
branch circuit neutral leads, which are white or
gray. Ground the unit by connecting the green
conductor of the cooktop to the bare or green
leads of the power supply and branch circuit
(ground leads).
