ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Connect the flexible armored cable that extends
from the surface unit to the junction box using a
suitable strain relief at the point the armored
cable enters the junction box. Then make the
electrical connection as follows.
Electrical ground is required on this
appliance.
This appliance is manufactured with a supply
wire and a frame connected green or bare
copper grounding wire.
NOTE TO ELECTRICIAN:
The armored cable leads supplied with the
appliance are UL-listed for connection to larger
gauge household wiring. The insulation of the
leads is rated at temperatures much higher than
the temperature rating of household wiring. The
current-carrying capacity of the conductor wire
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
Observe all governing codes and local
ordinances.
1
Disconnect the power supply.
2
At the circuit breaker box, fuse box or
junction box, connect appliance and power
supply cable wires as shown.
WARNING
You may not ground the cooktop through
the neutral (white) wire if cooktop is used
in a new branch circuit installation (1996
NEC), mobile home, recreational vehicle, or
where local codes do not permit grounding
to the neutral (white) wire. When grounding
to the neutral (white) wire is prohibited, you
must use a 4-wire power supply cable.
Failure to heed this warning may result
in electrocution or other serious
personal injury.

WARNING
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.
WARNING
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. Improper
connection of aluminum house wiring to
copper leads can result in a short circuit or
fire. Follow the connector manufacturer's
recommended procedure closely.
