Installing The Gasket; Electrical Requirements - GE JP989 Owner's Manual & Installation Instructions

17 BEFORE MAKING ELECTRICAL
CONNECTIONS
Note to Electrician: The power leads supplied
with this appliance are UL-recognized for connection
to large gauge household wiring.
The insulation of these leads is rated at temperatures
much higher than the temperature rating of household
wiring. The current carrying capacity of a conductor is
governed by the wire gauge and also the temperature
rating of the insulation around the wire.
Aluminum Wiring – WARNING: IMPROPER
CONNECTION OF ALUMINUM HOUSE WIRING
TO THE COPPER LEADS CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS
PROBLEMS.
Attach copper wires to aluminum wiring using special
connectors designed and UL-listed for joining copper to
aluminum. Follow the connector manufacturer's
recommended procedure closely.
Service Loop – Leave a loop in the wires to the
cooktop so that the cooktop can be lifted 12 inches
without having to disconnect the wiring.
