Before You Make the Electrical Connection:
To properly install your cooktop, you must determine the type of electrical connection you will be using and follow the instructions provided for it here.
■A
■The cooktop should be connected directly to the junction box in the cabinet through the flexible metal conduit. The flexible, armored cable extending from the fuse box or circuit breaker box should be connected directly to the cooktop wiring box.
■Locate the junction box in the cabinet to allow as much slack as possible between the junction box and the cooktop so that the cooktop can be moved if servicing becomes necessary in the future.
■A UL listed or CSA approved conduit connector must be provided at each end of the power supply cable (at the cooktop wiring box and at the junction box in the cabinet).
■If the house has aluminum wiring follow the procedure below:
1.Connect a section of solid copper wire to the pigtail leads.
2.Connect the aluminum wiring to the added section of copper wire using special connectors and/or tools designed and UL listed for joining copper to aluminum.
Follow the electrical connector manufacturer's recommended procedure. Aluminum/copper connection must conform with local codes and industry accepted wiring practices.
