MAKING ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Effective January 1, 1996, the National Electrical Code
requires that new, but not existing, construction utilize a
four-conductor connection to an electric range. When
installing an electric range in new construction, follow
the instructions in NEW CONSTRUCTION AND FOUR-
CONDUCTOR BRANCH CIRCUIT CONNECTION.
You must use a three-wire, single-phase AC 208Y/120 Volt
or 240/120 Volt, 60 Hertz electrical system with separate
ground. If you connect to aluminum wiring, properly
installed connectors approved for use with aluminum wiring
must be used.
New construction and four-conductor branch circuit
connection
• When installing in new construction, or
• When installing in a mobile home, or
• When local codes do not permit grounding through
neutral:
4-Conductor Branch Circuit
When connecting the cooktop to a 4-conductor circuit,
connect the red leads of the cooktop and the power supply
to the branch circuit red lead; connect the black leads to
each other. Connect the cooktop white lead to the power
supply and branch circuit neutral leads, which are white or
gray. Ground the unit by connecting the green conductor of
the cooktop to the bare or green leads of the power supply
and branch circuit (ground leads).

Installation Instructions
Three-conductor branch circuit connection
• When installing in existing construction built prior to
January 1, 1996, and if permitted by local codes:
3-Conductor Branch Circuit
When connecting cooktop to a 3-conductor circuit, connect
the red leads of the cooktop and the power supply to the
branch circuit red lead; connect the black leads to each
other. Connect the green and white leads of the cooktop to
the power supply and branch circuit neutral leads, which
are white or gray.
