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.
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.
