ELECTRIC COOKTOP INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
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.
If your appliance is not equipped with a white
neutral conductor:
Connect only to a 3-wire, 120/240V power supply; the
neutral conductor is not required for the operation of the
appliance. The potential at the power supply electrical
connections shall be 150V to ground or less.
NOTE TO ELECTRICIAN: The armored cable leads
supplied with the appliance are UL-recognized 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 is governed by
the temperature rating of the insulation around the wire,
rather than the wire gauge alone.
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK: Grounding through the
neutral conductor is prohibited for new branch-circuit
installations (1996 NEC); mobile homes; recreational
vehicules; or in Canada, or in an area where local codes
prohibit grounding through the neutral connector.
(If your appliance is equipped with a
white neutral conductor.)
This appliance is manufactured with a white neutral
power supply and a frame connected copper
wire. The frame is grounded by connection of
grounding lead to neutral lead at the termination
of the conduit, if used in USA, in a new branch
circuit installation (1996 NEC), mobile home,
recreational vehicles, where local code do not
permit grounding trough the neutral (white) wire
or in Canada, disconnect the white and green lead
from each other and use ground lead to ground
unit in accordance with local codes, connect neutral
lead to branch circuit‑neutral conductor in usual
manner see Figure 6 or 7. If your appliance is to
be connected to a 3 wire grounded junction box
(US only), where local code permit connecting
the appliance‑grounding conductor to the neutral
(white) see Figure 4 or 5.
Where local codes permit connecting the
appliance‑grounding conductor to the neutral
(white) wire (USA only):
Your appliance 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.
