GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:  
Red  
Strain Relief Clamp  
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).

NOTE TO ELECTRICIAN:  
The power leads supplied with this appliance  
are UL recognized for connections to larger  
gauge household wiring. The insulation of  
these leads is rated at temperatures much  
higher than the temperature rating of  
household wiring. The current carrying  
capacity of a conductor is governed by the  
wire gauge and also the temperature rating  
of the insulation around the wire.  
NOTE: ALUMINUM WIRING  
WARNING:  
IMPROPER CONNECTION OF ALUMINUM  
HOUSE WIRING TO THE COPPER LEADS  
CAN RESULT IN A SERIOUS PROBLEM.  
Splice copper wires to aluminum wiring  
using special connectors designed and  
UL approved for joining copper to  
aluminum and follow the manufacturer’s  
recommended connector procedure  
closely.  
NOTE: Wire used, location and enclosure of  
splices, etc., must conform to good wiring  
practice and local codes.
