INDUCTION COOKTOP INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
If the cable from appliance is equipped with 3 wires:
Where local codes permit connecting the
appliance-grounding conductor to the neutral
(white) wire (see figure 3):
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 3.
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 to the neutral
(white) wire.

When grounding to the neutral (white) wire is
prohibited, you must use a 4-wire power supply
cable. See Figure 4. 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

connected ground wire MUST NOT be connected to
the neutral wire of the 4-wire electrical system.
NOTE TO ELECTRICIAN: The armored cable leads
supplied with the appliance are UL-listed for connection
to larger gauge household wiring. The insulation of
the leads is rated at temperatures much higher than
temperature rating of household wiring. The current
carrying capacity of the conductor wire is governed by
the temperature rating of the insulation around the wire,
rather than the wire gauge alone.
