Electrical Connections
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
The bare ground wire in the conduit is connected to the
cooktop frame. Effective January 1, 1996, the National
Electrical Code will not permit grounding through
neutral. If used in new construction after January
1, 1996 or in a mobile home, recreational vehicle or
if local codes do not permit grounding through the
neutral white lead, attach the appliance grounding
lead (green or copper) to the residence grounding
conductor (green or bare copper) in accordance with
local codes. When connecting to a 3 conductor branch
circuit, if local codes permit, connect the bare ground
connector lead of the cooktop to the branch circuit
neutral (gray or white in color).
IMPORTANT:
If the cooktop is being installed
into a blind counter (one with no cabinet opening
below), wire connections must be made before
putting the cooktop into the cutout opening.
NOTE: ALUMINUM WIRING
WARNING
IMPROPER CONNECTION
OF ALUMINUM HOUSE WIRING TO THE COPPER
LEADS CAN RESULT IN A SERIOUS PROBLEM.
Splice copper wires to aluminum wiring using special
connectors designed and UL approved for joining
copper to aluminum and follow the manufacturer’s
recommended connector procedure closely.
NOTE: Wire used, location and enclosure of splices,
etc., must conform to good wiring practice and local
codes

• NOTE TO ELECTRICIAN:
The power leads supplied with this appliance are UL
recognized for connections to larger gauge household
wiring. The insulation of these leads is rated at
temperatures much higher than the temperature
rating of household wiring. The current carrying
capacity of a conductor is governed by the wire gauge
and also the temperature rating of the insulation
around the wire.
