Where local codes permit
. connecting the frame-grounding
conductor to the neutral (white)
junction box wire:
1. Disconnect power supply.
2. Connect the flexible armored cable
from the cooktop to the junction box
using a U.L.- or C.S.A.-listed conduit
connector. Tighten screws on conduit
connector.
3. Connect the two black wires
together; then connect the two red
wires together with twist-on wire
connectors. (See Figure 2.)
4. Connect the green (or bare)
grounding wire from the appliance
cable to the grounded wire in the
junction box or other grounded
connector.
5. Put a twist-on wire connector on end
of white wire.
6. Contact a qualified electrician to
assure the cooktop is properly
grounded.
7. Do Not ground to a gas supply pipe or
hot water pipe. Do Not connect to
electrical supply until appliance is
permanently grounded.
A
A three-wire, single-phase, 240-
. volt, 60-Hz AC-only electrical
supply is required on a separate,
40-ampere circuit, fused on both sides
of the line. A time-delay fuse or circuit
breaker is recommended. The rating of
the fuse or circuit breaker should be
equal to the marked current rating
(amps) on the appliance, but not larger
than the next standard fuse or circuit
breaker size. The marked current rating
is specified on the serial/rating plate
located on the bottom of the cook-top.

The appliance should be
. connected directly to the fused
disconnect or circuit breaker
box through flexible, armored or non-
metallic sheathed, copper cable. The
flexible, armored cable extending from
the appliance should be connected
directly to the junction box.
1. Disconnect power supply.
2. Connect the flexible armored cable
from the cook-top to the junction box
using a U.L.- or C.S.A.-listed conduit
connector. Tighten screws on conduit
connector.
3. Connect the green (or bare)
appliance cable wire with the neutral
(white) wire in the junction box.
4. Connect the two black wires
together; then connect the two red
wires together with twist-on wire
connectors. (See Figure 1.)
E Locate the junction box to allow
. as much slack as possible
between junction box and the
cooktop so that the cooktop can be
moved if servicing is ever necessary. Do
Not cut the conduit.
F
A U.L- or C.S.A.-listed conduit
. connector must be provided at
each end of the power supply
cable (at the appliance and at the
junction box).
