Step 9

Before Making Electrical Connections

Note to Electrician: The power leads supplied with this appliance are U. L. recognized for connection to large 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.

Aluminum Wiring—WARNING: IMPROPER CONNECTION OF ALUMINUM HOUSE WIRING TO THE COPPER LEADS CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS PROBLEMS.

Attach copper wires to aluminum wiring using special connectors designed and U. L. listed for joining copper to aluminum. Follow the connector manufacturer’s recommended procedure closely.

Step 10

Making Electrical Connections

NOTE: The frame of this appliance is grounded to neutral.

3-Conductor Branch Circuit

When connecting cooktop to a 3-conductor circuit, connect the red leads of the cooktop and the power supply to the branch circuit red lead; connect the black leads to each other. Connect the green and white leads of the cooktop to the power supply and branch circuit neutral leads, which are white or gray.

4-Conductor Branch Circuit

When connecting cooktop to a 4-conductor circuit, connect the red leads of the cooktop and the power supply to the branch circuit red lead; connect the black leads to each other. Separate the green and white leads of the cooktop. Connect cooktop white lead to the power supply and branch circuit neutral leads, which are white or gray. Ground the unit by connecting the green conductor of the cooktop to the bare or green leads of the power supply and branch circuit (ground leads).
