Installation Instructions; Install Cooktop - Whirlpool WCC31430AW00 Installation Instructions Manual

• Cooktops with 3-wire cable coming from the cooktop are
rated 240 volt and do not have a neutral (white) wire.
• The cooktop should be connected directly to the junction box
through flexible, armored or nonmetallic sheathed, copper
cable. The flexible, armored cable extending from the fuse
box or circuit breaker box should be connected directly to the
junction box.
• Locate the junction box to allow as much slack as possible
between the junction box and the cooktop so that the
cooktop can be moved if servicing becomes necessary in the
future.
Do not cut the conduit. The length of conduit provided is for
serviceability of the cooktop.
A UL listed or CSA approved conduit connector must be
provided at each end of the power supply cable (at the
cooktop and at the junction box). A listed conduit connector
is already provided at the cooktop.
If the house has aluminum wiring follow the procedure below:
1. Connect a section of solid copper wire to the pigtail
leads.
2. Connect the aluminum wiring to the added section of
copper wire using special connectors and/or tools
designed and UL listed for joining copper to aluminum.
Follow the electrical connector manufacturer's recommended
procedure. Aluminum/copper connection must conform with
local codes and industry accepted wiring practices.
