ELECTRIC COOKTOP INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Electrical Connection

Connect the flexible armored cable that extends from the
surface unit to the junction box using a suitable strain
relief at the point the armored cable enters the junction
box. Then make the electrical connection as follows.
Electrical ground is required on this appliance.
This appliance is equipped with a
copper conductor flexible cable. If connection is
made to aluminum house wiring, use only special
connectors which are approved for joining cooper
and aluminum wires in accordance with the National
Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances.
Improper connection of aluminum house wiring to
copper leads can result in a short circuit or fire.
Follow the connector manufacturer recommended
procedure closely.
This appliance is manufactured with a frame connected
green (or bare copper) ground wire.
DO NOT ground to a gas supply pipe.
DO NOT connect to electrical power supply until
appliance is permanently grounded. Connect the
ground wire before turning on the power.
Where local codes permit connecting the appliance-
grounding conductor to the neutral (white) wire:
If your cooktop is to be connected to a 3-wire
grounded junction box (see figure 4):
1. Disconnect the power supply.
2. In the circuit breaker, fuse box or junction box:
connect appliance and power supply cable wires as
shown in figure 4.

neutral (white) wire is prohibited, you must use a
4-wire power supply cable. See Figure 5. Failure
to heed this warning may result in electrocution or
other serious personal injury.
If cooktop is used in a new branch circuit
installation (1996 NEC), mobile home, recreational
vehicle, or where local codes DO NOT permit
