lead on the cooktop.
This appliance is manufactured with a frame connected, green or bare ground wire.
Connect the cooktop cable to the junction box through the CSA or UL-listed conduit
connector. Complete electrical connection according to local codes and ordinances.
Warning: Improper connection of Aluminum house wiring to copper leads can result in
an electrical hazard or fire. Use only connectors designed for joining copper to alu-
minum and follow the manufacturer's recommended procedure closely.
CONNECT WITH COPPER WIRE ONLY
✓ The flexible (4’) armoured cable should be connected directly to the junction box.
✓ Do not cut the conduit.
✓ A CSA or UL-listed conduit connector must be provided at the junction box.
✓ Do not ground to a gas pipe.
✓ Do not have a fuse in the grounding or neutral circuit.
✓ Fuse both supply (phase) lines.
✓ A time delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended.
✓ Connect directly to the fused disconnect (or circuit breaker box) through flexible,
armored or non-metallic shealted, copper cable (with grounding wire).
✓ If codes permit and a separate grounding wire is used, it is recommended that a
qualified electrician determine that the grounding path and wire gauge is in
accordance with local codes.

4. Connect the crimped black cooktop cable wires to the black wire in the junction box.
5. Terminate red wire in the junction box.
6. Connect electrical connection according to local codes and ordinances.
If local codes PERMIT connecting cabinet-grounding conductor to neutral white
wire in the junction box:
7. Connect the crimped white cooktop cable wires and the crimped green & yellow (or
green) cooktop cable wires to the neutral (white) wire in the junction box (Fig. 5.1).
8. Replace the junction box cover.
OR If local codes DO NOT PERMIT connecting cabinet-grounding conductor to
