ELECTRIC COOKTOP INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
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 copper and aluminum wires in accordance
with the National Electrical Code and local codes and
ordinances.
This appliance is manufactured with a frame connected
green (or bare copper) ground wire.
1. If connecting to a 3-wire supply cable (U.S.A.
only): If local codes permit connection of the
frame grounding conductor to the neutral
(white) wire: (The 3-conductor cord or cable must be
replaced with a 4-conductor cord or cable where
grounding through the neutral conductor is prohibited
in new installations, mobile homes, recreational
vehicles or in other areas where local codes do not
permit neutral grounding)
Connect the green (or bare copper) wire (and the
white wire for model with warmer zone) from the
appliance cable to the supply cable ground wire
(white or bare) inside the junction box. Connect the
remaining wires inside the junction box (see Figure 4
or 5) from the power supply cable to the matching
colors of the appliance cable wires.
