ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Note to Electrician: The power leads supplied with
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.
WARNING
Aluminum Wiring - IMPROPER
CONNECTION OF ALUMINUM HOUSE WIRING
TO THE COPPER LEADS CAN RESULT IN
SERIOUS PROBLEMS.
Attach copper wires to aluminum wiring using
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.

C. Insert the wires from the conduit through the
opening of the junction box. Install proper strain
relief clamp.
Effective January 1, 1996, the National Electrical
Code requires that new, but not existing,
construction utilize a four-conductor connection to
an electric range. When installing an electric range
in new construction, follow the instructions in NEW
You must use a three-wire, single-phase AC
