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) .

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
