Electrical Wiring Information
The neutral of this unit is grounded to the frame through the solid copper grounding wire. If used on new branch- circuit installations (1996 NEC), mobile homes, recreational vehicles, or in an area where local codes prohibit grounding through the neutral conductor, untwist or disconnect the solid copper wire and connect the ground wire to ground in accordance with local code. Connect the white neutral to the service neutral. Connect all wires to the branch circuit with approved connectors. Use copper or aluminum wire. If aluminum wire is used, use connectors recognized for joining aluminum to copper.
Proper Electrical Supply
You must provide an adequate electrical supply system as required for your cooktop. All wire connections must be in accordance with local codes and properly insulated. Check with local utility for governing electrical codes and ordinances. In the absence of local electrical codes, the National Electrical Code, NFPA No. 70, governing electric range installations must be followed.
