ELECTRIC COOKTOP INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Electrical connection
It is the responsibility and obligation of the consumer to
contact a quali
fi
ed installer to assure that the electrical
installation is adequate and is in conformance with
the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70-
latest edition, or with CSA Standard C22.1, Canadian
Electrical Code, Part 1, and local codes and ordinances.
Risk of electrical shock (Failure to
heed this warning may result in electrocution or
other serious injury.) This appliance is equipped with
copper lead wire. If connection is made to aluminum
house wiring, use only connectors that are approved
for joining copper and aluminum wire in accordance
with the National Electrical Code and local code and
ordinances. When installing connectors having screws
which bear directly on the steel and/or aluminum
fl
exible conduit, do no tighten screws su
ffi
ciently to
damage the
fl
exible conduit. Do not over bend or
excessively distort
fl
exible conduit to avoid separation
of convolutions en exposure of internal wires.
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.
(If your appliance is equipped with a
white neutral conductor.)
This appliance is manufactured with a white neutral
power supply and a frame connected copper wire.
The frame is grounded by connection of grounding
lead to neutral lead at the termination of the conduit,
if used in USA, in a new branch circuit installation
(1996 NEC), mobile home, recreational vehicles, where
local code do not permit grounding trough the neutral
(white) wire or in Canada, disconnect the white and
green lead from each other and use ground lead to
ground unit in accordance with local codes, connect
neutral lead to branch circuit-neutral conductor in
usual manner see Figure 6 or 7. If your appliance is
to be connected to a 3 wire grounded junction box
(US only), where local code permit connecting the
appliance-grounding conductor to the neutral (white)
see Figure 4 or 5.
NOTE TO ELECTRICIAN:
The armored cable leads
supplied with the appliance are UL-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.

Where local codes permit connecting the appliance-
grounding conductor to the neutral (white) wire:
If your cooktop has a 3-wire cable to be connected to
a 3-wire grounded junction box (see
fi
gure 4):
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
fi
gure 4.
If your cooktop has a 4-wire cable to be connected to
a 3-wire grounded junction box (see
fi
gure 5):
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
