GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:
The bare ground wire in the conduit is connected
to the cooktop frame. Effective January 1, 1996,
the National Electrical Code will not permit
grounding through neutral. If used in new
construction after January 1, 1996 or in a mobile
home, recreational vehicle or if local codes do
not permit grounding through the neutral white
lead, attach the appliance grounding lead (green
or copper) to the residence grounding conductor
(green or bare copper) in accordance with local
codes. 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).
IMPORTANT: If the cooktop is being installed
into a blind counter (one with no cabinet opening
below), wire connections must be made before
putting the cooktop into the cutout opening.
