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 has a 3-wire cable 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.

You may not ground the cooktop
through the neutral (white) wire if cooktop is used
in a new branch circuit installation (1996 NEC),
mobile home, recreational vehicle, or where local
codes do not permit grounding through the
neutral (white) wire. When grounding through the
neutral (white) wire is prohibited, you must use a
4-wire power supply cable. See Figure 6 & 7.
Failure to heed this warning may result in
electrocution or other serious personal injury.
