GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:
Red
Strain Relief Clamp
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).

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: 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.
