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 cmmecting to a 3
conductor branch circuit, if local codes permit, connect the bare ground cmmector lead of the cooktop to
the branch circuit neutral (gray or white in color).
IMPORTANT: If the cooktop is being installed into a blind counter (one with no cabinet opening below),
wire cmmections must be made before putting the cooktop into the cutout opening.
NOTE: ALUMINUM WIRING
