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. A copy of the
National Electrical Code, NFPA No. 70, can be obtained
by writing to:
National Fire Protection Association
Batten!march Park
Quincy, Massachusetts 02269
A three-wire, single phase, A.C. 120/240 volt 60 cycle
electrical system (properly circuit protected to meet Local
Codes of NFPA No. 70) must be provided. Unit must be
properly grounded in accordance with local wiring code.
The chart below recommends the minimum circuit
protector and wire size if the appliance is the only unit on
the circuit. If smaller sizes of wire are used, the unit
efficiency will be reduced and a fire hazard may be
created. It is advisable that the electrical wiring and
hookup be accomplished by a competent electrician.
