ENGLISH
3 A suitable strain relief must be provided to
attach the flexible armored cable to the
junction box.
Electrical Connection
Connect the flexible armored cable that extends
from the surface unit to the junction box using a
suitable strain relief at the point the armored cable
enters the junction box. Then make the electrical
connection as follows.
Electrical ground is required on this appliance.
This appliance is manufactured with a supply wire
and a frame-connected green or bare copper
grounding wire.
NOTE
TO ELECTRICIAN:
• The armored cable leads supplied with the
appliance are UL-listed for connection to larger
gauge household wiring. The insulation of the
leads is rated at temperatures much higher than
the temperature rating of household wiring. The
current-carrying capacity of the conductor wire
is governed by the temperature rating of the
insulation around the wire, rather than the wire
gauge alone.
WARNING
• DO NOT ground to a gas supply pipe. DO NOT
connect to electrical power supply until
appliance is permanently grounded. Connect the
ground wire before turning on the power.
• This appliance is equipped with a copper
conductor flexible cable. If connection is made to
aluminum house wiring, use only special
connectors which are approved for joining
copper and aluminum wires in accordance with
the National Electrical Code and local codes and
ordinances. Improper connection of aluminum
house wiring to copper leads can result in a
short circuit or fire. Follow the connector
manufacturer’s recommended procedure
closely.
Where Local Codes Permit Connecting
the Appliance-Grounding Conductor to
the Neutral (White) Wire
Observe all governing codes and local ordinances.
1 Disconnect the power supply.
2 At the circuit breaker box, fuse box or junction
box, connect appliance and power supply
cable wires as shown.
WARNING
• You may not ground the cooktop through the
neutral (white) wire if the cooktop is used in a
new branch circuit installation (1996 NEC),
mobile home, recreational vehicle, or where
local codes do not permit grounding to the
neutral (white) wire. When grounding to the
neutral (white) wire is prohibited, you must use a
4-wire power supply cable. Failure to heed this
warning may result in electrocution or other
serious personal injury.
