ELECTRIC COOKTOP INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
(If your appliance is equipped with a
white neutral conductor.)
This appliance is manufactured with a white neutral
power supply and a frame connected copper wire.
The frame is grounded by connection of grounding
lead to neutral lead at the termination of the
conduit, if used in USA, in a new branch circuit
installation (1996 NEC), mobile home, recreational
vehicles, where local code do not permit grounding
trough the neutral (white) wire or in Canada,
disconnect the white and green lead from each
other and use ground lead to ground unit in
accordance with local codes, connect neutral lead
to branch circuit-neutral conductor in usual manner
see Figure 5. If your appliance is to be connected
to a 3 wire grounded junction box (US only),
where local code permit connecting the appliance-
grounding conductor to the neutral (white) see
Figure 4.
NOTE TO ELECTRICIAN: The armored cable leads
suppliedwiththeapplianceareUL-recognizedfor
connection to larger gauge household wiring. The
insulation of the leads is rated at temperatures much
higher than temperature rating of household wiring. The
currentcarryingcapacityoftheconductorisgovernedby
thetemperatureratingoftheinsulationaroundthewire,
rather than the wire gauge alone.
Where local codes permit connecting the appliance-
grounding conductor to the neutral (white) wire
(US Only) (see figure 4):
1. Disconnectthepowersupply.
2. In the junction box:
 connectapplianceandpowersupplycablewiresas
showninFigure4.
If the appliance is used in a new branch circuit
installation (1996 NEC), mobile home, recreational
vehicle, or where local codes DO NOT permit
grounding through the neutral (white) wire, the
appliance frame MUST NOT be connected to the
neutral wire of the 4-wire electrical system. (see
figure 5):
1. Disconnectthepowersupply.
2. Separate the green (or bare copper) and white
appliance cable wires.
3.Inthejunctionbox:
 connectapplianceandpowersupplycablewiresas
shown in Figure 5.
