INSTALLATION—ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Once the connections are made, secure
wires together using wire nuts.
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.
