ELECTRIC COOKTOP INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1.
If local codes permit connection of the frame
grounding conductor to the neutral (white) wire.
Connect the green (or bare copper) wire and the
white wire from the appliance cable to the supply
cable ground wire (white or bare) inside the junction
box. Connect the remaining wires inside the junction
box from the power supply cable to the matching
colors of the appliance cable wires (figure 4).
WARNING
Improper connection of aluminum
house wiring to copper leads can result in a short
circuit or fire. Use only connectors designed for
joining copper to aluminum, and follow the
manufacturer's recommended procedure closely.
Frame grounded through the neutral.
If used in a mobile home, new branch circuit (1996
NEC) recreational vehicles or where local codes do
not permit grounding through neutral see figure 5.
2.
If used in mobile homes or if local codes DO
NOT permit connection of the frame grounding
conductor to the neutral (white) wire
, separate
the white and bare copper ground wires that extend
out of the end of the supply cable of the appliance.
Connect the white wire from supply cable to the
neutral white wire in the junction box. Connect the
black and red wires from the supply cable to the
matching color wires in the junction box. The bare
wire must now be used to ground the appliance in
accordance with local electrical codes. Connect the
bare copper ground wire to the grounded lead in the
service panel. 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 (figure 5).
If connecting to a 4-wire electrical
system, the appliance frame MUST NOT be
connected to the neutral wire of the 4-wire
electrical system.
NOTE TO ELECTRICIAN:
The armored cable leads
supplied with the appliance are CSA-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.
Cooktop Installation
1. Visually inspect the cooktop for damage.
2. If you are installing the optional Stainless Steel
backsplash, first fix it at the back of the cooktop using
