ELECTRIC COOKTOP INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance is equipped with a copper conductor
flexible cable. If connection is made to aluminum house
wiring, use only special connectors which are approved
for joining copper and aluminum wires in accordance
with the National Electrical Code and local codes and
ordinances.
This appliance is manufactured with a frame connected
green (or bare copper) ground wire.
1. If connecting to a 3-wire supply cable (U.S.A.
only): If local codes permit connection of the
frame grounding conductor to the neutral
(white) wire:
(The 3-conductor cord or cable must be
replaced with a 4-conductor cord or cable where
grounding through the neutral conductor is prohibited
in new installations, mobile homes, recreational
vehicles or in other areas where local codes do not
permit neutral grounding)
Connect the green (or bare copper) wire (and the
white wire for model with warmer zone) 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 (see Figure 4
or 5) from the power supply cable to the matching
colors of the appliance cable wires.
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.
2. If connecting to a 4-wire supply cable (also
mobile homes):
The appliance frame must not be
connected to the neutral wire of the 4-wire electrical
system. Connect the appliance white wire (if a 4-wire
appliance cable is supplied) to the power supply cable
white wire. Cap the white wire from the power
supply cable if a 3-wire appliance cable is supplied.
Connect the remaining wires from the supply cable to
the matching color wires from the appliance cable
(see Figure 6 or 7). The green (or bare copper) wire
must now be used to ground the appliance in
accordance with local electrical codes. The green (or
bare copper) wire from the power supply cable is
grounded inside the house 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.
