Electrical Installation - GE JP989 Series Technical Service Manual

Step 13 – Before Making Electrical
Connections
Note to Electrician: The power leads supplied
with this appliance are U.L. recognized for connec-
tion to large-gauge household wiring.
The insulation of these leads is rated at tempera-
tures much higher than the temperature rating of
household wiring. The current-carrying capacity of
a conductor is governed by the wire gauge and
the temperature rating of the insulation around the
wire.
Aluminum Wiring
WARNING: Improper connection of aluminum
house wiring to the copper leads can result in
serious problems.
Attach copper wires to aluminum wiring using
special connectors designed and U.L. listed for
joining copper to aluminum. Follow the connector
manufacturer's recommended procedure closely.
Service Loop
Leave a loop in the wires to the cooktop so the
cooktop can be lifted 12 in. without having to
disconnect the wiring.

Feed the power supply
leads through the
conduit; be sure to
leave enough length
to properly connect
these leads to the
cooktop power leads.
Thread the leads
through an anti-short
bushing and firmly seat
the anti-short bushing
in the end of the
conduit.
Feed the leads through
the hole in the wire
compartment.
Lay the conduit against
the side of the wire
compartment.
Place the clamp over
the conduit. Make sure
the bushing is fully
seated against the
stop tab in the clamp.
Tighten the clamping
screw until the
clamping tab is fully
seated against the
wire compartment.
When complete,
reinstall the wire com-
partment cover.
