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.
