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
A. WARNING:
IMPROPER CONNECTION OF ALUMINUM HOUSE WIRING TO THE COPPER LEADS CAN
RESULT IN A SERIOUS PROBLEM.
B. 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.

Checking the Installation & Cooktop Operation
Electronic Radiant Cooktop
• Remove all protective film if present, and any stickers.
Pre-Test
Checklist
• Check to be sure that all wiring is secure and not pinched or in contact with moving parts.
• Check level of appliance.
• Check that the cooktop is properly grounded.
Operation
Checklist
• Remove all items from the top of the cooktop surface.
• Turn on the power to the cooktop. (Refer to your Owner’s Manual.) Verify that all surface units
operate properly.
• Check that the circuit breaker is not tripped nor the house fuse blown.
• Check that conduit is securely connected to the junction box.
• See Owner’s Manual for troubleshooting list.

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.
NOTE: While performing installations
described in this book, safety glasses or goggles
should be worn.
