INDUCTION COOKTOP INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
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.
Where local codes permit connecting the appliance-
grounding conductor to the neutral (white) wire
(see figure 3):
1. Disconnect the power supply.
2. In the circuit breaker, fuse box or junction box,
connect appliance and power supply cable wires as
shown in figure 3.
You may not ground the cooktop
through the neutral (white) wire if cooktop is used
in a new branch circuit installation (1996 NEC),
mobile home, recreational vehicle, or where local
codes do not permit grounding to the neutral
(white) wire. When grounding to the neutral
(white) wire is prohibited, you must use a 4-wire
power supply cable. See Figure 4. Failure to heed
this warning may result in electrocution or other
serious personal injury.

WARNING
If connecting to a 4-wire power supply
cable electrical system, the appliance frame
connected ground wire 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 UL-listed 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 wire is governed by
the temperature rating of the insulation around the wire,
rather than the wire gauge alone.
