This appliance is manufactured with a green
ground wire connected to the cooktop chassis.
After making sure that the power has been turned
off, connect the flexible conduit from the cooktop
to the junction box using a U.L. listed conduit
connector. The instructions provided below
present the most common way of connecting the
cooktops. Your local codes and ordinances, of
course, take precedence over these instructions.
Complete electrical connections according to
local codes and ordinances.
Grounding through the neutral conductor is
prohibited for new branch-circuit installations
(1996 NEC); mobile homes; and recreational
vehicles, or in an area where local codes prohibit
grounding through the neutral conductor.
