ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS (cont.)
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.
Observe all governing codes and local
ordinances.
ᕡ Disconnect the power supply.
ᕢ At the circuit breaker box, fuse box or junction
box, connect appliance and power supply cable
wires as shown.
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.
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.
